The Longing of a Soulful and Solitary Lover

For a glimpse of you, my eyes yearn.

And one more silent night passed.

I am in solitude.

Still distressed and anxious is my mood.

Stealthily when the wind kissed me

I felt your presence, oh fiancée.

Came like a dawn,

were those old memories.

Gave solace to this heart which is full of agonies.

I am horrified dear beloved.

That wind which just blew,

brought with it a stench of blood.

For a glimpse of you, my eyes yearn.

How painful can love become

now I learn.

I hope after this rain

comes   a rainbow.

You defeat the country’s foe.

And then embracing me

You fulfill yours ‘Togetherness’ Vow’
