CHANTINGS OF THE HEART

Spring has arrived!! I await your arrival My long lost beloved My soul and I... Waiting to embrace you Longing your presence My mornings and my afternoons In solitude and melancholy I lay on my bed...  Awaiting your arrival Just once come back my beloved Satiate my soul Refresh my sweet memories Of times spent in your company Oh my Cuckoo!!  My long lost Cuckoo!! I am desperate to meet you Will you sing again? For me... Just once...your song The song of the cuckoo!!  Oh bird!! Where art thou?  Lost in the concrete jungle Not a tree to perch...  Nor a nest to search Will you ever come back? To revive my memories  With your melodies!! 

The wind blows slowly and steadily As she sits looking at the greenery The golden sun also smiles Her ripen grains look like golden beads Swaying and smiling at her Yes, she wants them around her neck Just like a bejewelled  bride She is coy, she is happy She has fresh dreams Dreams of the golden beads!! Beads which winds her dreams Yes, the beads which would fill… But, what is this? Where are my golden beads? Alas! My golden beads She wails, she curses… You mighty river…I hate you Why did you gulp my golden beads? How could you wash away my dreams? My dreams of the golden beads!!
