The Night Of An Indian Honeymoon Poem by Ravi Kopra
The Night Of An Indian Honeymoon
Gently and slowly I will approach you
I will be a gentleman not a brute peasant
You will sway like a flower in my arms
You will skim like a bird on the foam of the sea
You will float like a laugh from the lips of my dreams.
Softly and slowly I will approach you
I will be a gentle man not a brute peasant
Lifting your veil, seeing your face for the first time
My heart will sing, it will be my spring.
I will lift your chin up with the palm of my hand
Look into your eyes, and kiss your lips.
You will resist and say - na ji, na ji
I will say - you are my dulhan now
cHoDo ye sab na ji, na ji...
(I will say - you are my bride now
forget all your no, nos) ...
Palanquin bearers- a poem by Sarojini Naidu
Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,
She sways like a flower in the wind of our song;
She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream,
She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream.
Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.
Softly, O softly we bear her along,
She hangs like a star in the dew of our song;
She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide,
She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride.
Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.
