Only For You Poem by Kuldip Medhi

The conch and temple bells ring
The offerings lay out with fragrances and flowers
Unknowingly, you and I
Are drawn towards each other
You hum a tune
While I listen
Slowly the sky transforms from azure to darkness
The clouds pour down in a torrent
You are drenched by the downpour
I am the umbrella
You lie asleep on my bosom
I dream on
We now are an integral part of each other
Wrapped in an unbreakable bond
Exchanging-
Your eyes are mine, my heart yours
My hands are yours, your feet now mine
Releasing two thirsty souls
Into the open sky,
For a handful of sunshine
We are now complete

The conch and the temple bells ring
The offerings lay out with fragrance and flowers.
Without knowing it, you and I
Have become a burning lamp of love!
