Is it necessary to tie you
To my love?
What if it is distant?
I remember,
How willing to hold
I crushed a mesmerizing butterfly
In my hands,
How my favorite Veiltail goldfish
Turned lifeless,
Floated in a water tank.
How the leaves fall off
In an unwary wind;
An inadvertent moment
Makes one ruthless.
My love,
Even if you love me
Stay free and fly.
I fear
My indiscreet fingers,
My incautious steps,
My carefree boundless mind
My moments of eclipse
If they drop a shadow on you
And cover your sky
Neither would I be the way I am
Nor I could see you die. |
