What do you know what you are for me! VII

 What do you know what you are for me! VII

                  

 What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my Prince at dawn

     King at noon Emperor at night

     you quench my fire all night.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are the spring of romance

     my summer solace

     my autumnal caress

     my winter’s grace.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You cause me misery

     my poetic fury

     you are my boon to life.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You keep off vamps

     with your impish tramps

     your charms keep me in trance.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are the judge and jury

     but I never plead guilty

     Your judgment is reserved

     and my pleading incomplete.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You guard me from fire and pitfalls

     you save me from the Albatross

     and hanging false.

What do you know what you are for me! VI

What do you know what you are for me! VI

                          

 What do you know what you are for me!

     You are the bliss of my past

     the precious gift of god

     the jewel of the holocaust.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my loves virgin land

     I‘ll never walk on the quicksand

     of deceit and pretence

     you are my life’s sense and essence.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my Gita Bible

     you are my moral principle

     the serpent and the apple.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     When you fume in seething anger

     my world burns in flaming roar

     I run to pacify my heart’s core.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my bow and arrow

     you are my conch and flute

     I learn the difference of wide and narrow

     from your war –peace route.

 

What do you what you are for me!

     When I shall be ready to go

     I want you alone to bid me adieu

     when my breath ceases to flow

     I will enter only you and you.

What do you know what you are for me!

                                 V

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my long nights enemy

      thief of bonhomie

      moony night’s dream.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     your smile awakens my soul

     your words make me roll

     towards my goal.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my garden path

     soul’s benign worth

     and my divine wrath.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

      You are my victory garland

     you are my honour highland

     and my river bend.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

      You are my rosy love

      you are my cooing dove

      you are my deep life’s treasure trove.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my life’s stone wall

     my nightmares stall

     my beings end all.

What Do You Know What You Are For Me! IV


What Do You Know What You Are For Me! IV


All rivers seas and streams

dew drops on the dry grass

your shadows and images 

are all real to my senses

true and trustworthy always.


What do you know what you are for me!

Your worries and hurries

laughs and mood swings

provoke me to love you more

I fly on your wings.


What do you know what you are for me!

 I envy the road dust

on your feet

I rise to wipe your sweat

from your lovely feet.


What do you know what you are for me!

You are the last horizon

on the edges of ocean

you are the surge of passion

in my dry bones.


What do you know what you are for me!

I love the sheen in your eyes

the rose in your lips

when you stand apart as nature

my heart mirthfully leaps.


What do you know what you are for me!

     you are my palace serene humble.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     you are my verdant alley

     wide open lawn

     you are my honey moon

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my wine jar

     strong heady wine

     you are my deadly knife

     rude sunshine.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my love lyric

      lone mute call

     you are my demoness

     fangs of gall.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my bridal bed

      love’s holy fire

     you are my crematory

     flaming pyre.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my friend sweet hot ripe

     you are my salvation

     you are my life.

What Do You Know What You Are For Me! II

What do you know what you are for me!

                         II

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my cosmic hunger

     my Manna dew

     you are my dream maker

     and dream breaker.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     you are my fire cauldron

     the fire lit there eternally burns

     life after life for my last sleep.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     A lily half seen in  night’s haze

     a moon half eaten by fate’s rage

     a night sweet and full of revenge.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are the goal road and speed

     you are the chariot and the steed

     you are the surplus you are my need.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my joy my toy

     you are my highness you are my guide

     you are my downfall and

     you are my rise.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my anger you are my hate

      you are my luck you are my fate

     you are my poison for heaven’s gate.

What Do You Know What You Are For Me! I

  What Do You Know What You Are For Me!

                                        ( I )

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my morning star

     the glistening pearls on grass

     first rays of the rising sun.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     The primal wave on the shore

     the rising birds first twitter

     flamingoes soaring the sky.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     The first sight at temple door

     the first prayer of true love

     clashing cymbals and throbbing heart.

 

What do you know what you are to me!

     Beauty’s bold statement

     carnal energy and music of spheres

     the signature of holy fragrance.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     You are my soul’s otherself

     a naughty divine elf

     the pathway to salvation  

     the medium of reincarnation. 

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     My blood’s scarlet flow

     my lovelorn soul’s limpid flow

     my love’s gallows blind sacrifice.

 

What do you know what you are for me!

     The energy of my life breath

     the life blood of my health.

     the warmest lap for my death.
