You, the damsel of divine dark love,
Never I knew your ardent love!
Inconspicuous you remained
These many years on the wait
To come out of your hide
Uncalled unaware here
One leg firm on earth
The other- i knew not- elsewhere
I saw you there that day
Beside the foot of my cot-
The shadow spread of Death!
Memories now unfold.
Throwing ropes thy corner eyes
Tightly tie me to bed,
Thy snow cold body clings
To mine, kiss bears no warmth,
Frozen fingers touch my arms,
I felt; come, you beckoned
I kept my nerves, aroused not
Nor responded to thy call
My reply was a frozen stare
You left disheartened, sad;
I hate thee not, you gloom faced girl!
Now go, I’ll woo you one day glad
Let me finish my life’s drinks all,
Wait till their intoxication lasts
