Dance with me

Dance with me my love

The sun has long fallen asleep
The moon in mirth dodges the clouds
Look the stars have lighted the floors
The night has driven away the crowds

Come my love dance with me

Can you hear the song playing in my heart?
Can you hear the wind whisper in my hair?
Can you feel the rhythm of the breaking waves?
Can you feel this night the music rare ?

Come love hold me close to you

On the waves let us rise and fall together
Dance to my heart beat and I will dance to yours
Touch my heart like you would touch a flower
Steal it from me and in your body immure

Sing in my ears my love a song

A song that cannot be fettered by words
A song so blissful it can make me cry
A song that in abandon makes love to the wind
Melts me in your arms as it elopes to the sky

Dance with me my love

Forever and ever in madness and bliss
Dance with me love to keep me faith
Dance with me this dance of life
Dance with me till we are parted by death.

When I died

Last night they came , to take me away
In robes so white like the light of the day
I lay asleep when they spoke,
"Rise, for with the sun's first stroke
We shall embark on a journey new
Tomorrow your life shall forever leave you
Like the drop of dew on the blade of grass
That vanishes in the thin air alas!
That evanescent dew that you house in your heart
Life that you call, shall forever part
And into a boundless sea , shall you dive
Where no longer , shall you be alive
Where no longer , you shall feel pain
Nor can you feel pleasure again
Where no more shall your heart ever pound
Nor wrench at a sudden sight or sound
Where no longer can you touch or feel
A hand on your head that can afflictions heal
Where you shall have no freinds nor foes
Freed forever from cares shall you repose
Fathom the bliss that awaits you mortal
Hold our hands", they said with a chortle.

I don't know if it was in a moment or a day
The light of the white did fade away
And in the darkness I felt a chill down my spine
Yet drops of sweat on my forehead did shine
I stared like a ghost at my open window
The moonlight dashed on the floor below
I remembered amidst all important stuff
I had never seen the moon enough
And in just one moment I relived my life
Only to realise it was a futile strife
Panic struck , I don't want to die
I buried my head in my hands and cried
O give my heart a few more beats please
I have lots to do before it will cease
There is some love that I had hid long back
I never gave it away its still intact
There are some words , small, untold
Some 'sorry's , some 'thanks' , all kept cold
There is a pain , I never allayed
It poisoned my heart and forever stayed

And so one by one I kept reckoning
All times I disdained when life came beckoning,
Meanwhile the dark of the night was erased
By the first stroke of sunlight , I watched amazed
The hands of death no longer stretched out
I felt my heart, it pounded no doubt
Was it a dream , was it a vision?
Or was it some strange sublime mission?
I closed my eyes and sent up a prayer
That before the Life bird leaves the lair
May I be as empty as the space
I just want that bit of grace
May I not die with words in my heart
May I not stop before I start.
