I have loved you My nose had drawn borders On your cheek Waging a quiet battle To stop for long Threats of an exile in quietude Of a solemn river Lips remained in unison In dampness Silence shuddered on unforeseen Lands.
I have loved you And your turbulent Hair that have overshadowed Our knowing You closed our eyes Long back on my stride Railway tracks in a desert Riding Fond dreams Of birds that would follow us Again another summer.
