Till the day you come

Till the day you come, beside this river

I will wait for you like a small flower

Like a necklace of clouds, like a song in the breeze

I will be here to adorn you and please you

Like a reluctant note echoing from the strings

Strummed by my fingers, will I see you

Will you come as the spring to my garden

To make the flowers smile again

Oh poets who wrote so many poems

Have you seen my love in your words

Oh singers who sang those ballads

Have you seen my love in your music

When will I ever see you again my love

To be a note sung in my silent music

Or will you disappear again from my heart

Only to remain as a distant memory

Till the day you will come, beside this river

I will wait for you like a small flower

An Illusion

Like a rainbow, like a dew drop

You came from somewhere and stood beside me

Where, where are you

Where have you disappeared?

Like a dream, like an illusion

One moment you were there beside me, just for a moment

Just when I was aware of you

You disappeared, where?

Where have you gone?

The song of the reed from somewhere

The sound of the flute through the breeze

From somewhere it came again and again

From somewhere it came 

The song that was sung long back is gone

Where I do not know

The sound of drums from far comes rolling in

Somewhere someone’s fingers playing on the strings

Distant memories are awakening

It was written on leaves

It could be felt in the murmuring of the brooks

Could be heard in the whispers of the wind

Which throbs in your veins
