O My Friend!
Have you ever known how a moment slips from a juvenile ecstasy?
How a moment is cushioned inside epilepsy!
That moment I only borrow
As if inside a profound dream lost somewhere
Now in some specter of a joy found nowhere
I only borrow!
Living beneath a dream
A desire unfolding in a heap of fold’n unfinished dreams
Words of unfinished song! Words destined for a Sigh
Of a life's frozen desire! A cup of a Mountain's blood!
What grief can't ever be molten in a tear's song?
The flow of a river
With all my friends' desire
The silent rhythm inside a snow
Sing and dance in rapturous glow
Ah! A Moon's unfinished desire now about to shine!
What love can't ever be enshrined?
When a lover's silent wish
Falls a star rapt feverish
In one blinding dream of a desire
It twinkles in a lover's heart
Forever!
