Taking The Plunge Poem by Mahmoodul Haque Sayed

When clean water of lake
invited me to swim
I didn't go there

When extensive green forest called me
to play hide and seek
I didn't go there

When lake-side roses
called me to kiss on their petals
I didn't go there

When southern breeze
kissed upon my lips
I did not even respond then

But when your mischievous eyes
called me
I couldn't keep myself steady

And that moment suddenly
the moon emerged
from behind the dark clouds

Lady, Oh my sweet lady
I have been swimming
in the vast ocean of your desire
