Once in those days, when I first met you
You were in your previleged solitude of Radiance
belonging only to you
I have tied you with a knot of admiration
And your Radiance binds you with me
Your pain with mine
To-day you have known yourself
through my knowing you
My mind awakened with many visions of beauty
to plant in your consciousness
It is light, vision and beauty
Your consciousness yearns for
Almost a breathless sight
fashioned so beautifully by destiny
At our first meeting
There is honey in your eyes
Your fair clear face Radiant with divine grace
Your heart and mind centred upon something,
As if gazing into the future of a Race, you and I.
“Really I would rather be dead�
with great many tears you left me saying
“What a terrible blow - what sadness!
I swear, I leave you absolutely against my will�
And
I thought a reply in my memory
“Go and be happy - Good-bye for the present
Remember me for you know I love you
Remember the rose-studded earth
On that Jasmine-knitted night
A summer and a clear moonlit sky,
A distant journey and a life giving wanderings
On the hills and dales deep, we trod together
Be happy and God be with you�
When I think of you
The thoughts like armies clash
A wild desire gallops at its deadly speed
And a deep emotion overtakes and
gives a sinister blow
Then tranquility soothes my wearied mind
How many times I sit and pine?
A fire consumes
And all the acts of mind’s nature turn into ashes
And a fresh and pure image of love stands out
Oh! what an experience!
In secret we met
And in silence I grieve
We do not know how to live.
for we have known to live for others
Yet we live but not alone
You and I.
