To Love You
Shahnaz Islam *
To love you,
I am the poor mountaineer
Loves the Mount Everest
Tenzing Norgay climbed but build no house
Like tempt love begins
To love you,
I offer bhog on Ashtami day of Bhadrapad
Loves the Lord Krishna
Priest delivers but to effigy inside temple
Like adorer love hymns
To love you,
I voyaged ocean to ocean
Loves the poised waves and tides
Cruiser thirsts but cannot fill in water
Like greed love craves
To love you,
I lit the fire
Loves the warmth of ignite
Skin glittered from light but cannot engulf
Like ashes love burns
To love you,
I know to love you
Loves the 'form' of yours you are
Alive is your existence but perishing dooms
Like when love is only you
