[..to take your heart away.]
Like the musical rhythm of the ebbing waves,
Sweeter than nectar, is your voice to my ear;
I wish the world became quiet as the caves,
So that it'd be the only sound I could hear.
Like two solitary stars twinkling bright,
Nothing seem more stunning than your eyes to me;
I wish the sky became dark as the night,
So that they'd be the only sights I could see.
Like the cool breeze blowing in the autumn,
Your lovely tresses send me head over heel;
I wish, to every other sense, my body became numb,
So that it'd be the only thing I could feel.
Like the brilliant sunrise, o'er the distant hill,
I melt inside, when I see your dazzling smile;
I wish the whole world came to a standstill,
So that I could think of you all the while.
Like smooth, silken yarn, more precious than gold,
Are your feminine arms, with those delicate fingers;
I wish, I could, but once, in my hands, hold,
So that for a lifetime, the sensation would linger.
Like an angel descending down from Heaven's door,
You walked into my life, and drove me crazy;
I've ne'er felt this way about a girl before,
I can't study nor sleep - What's happening to me?!
Like the miracles of God - indescribable,
For your beauty, I have words few;
No matter how much I try, I am not able,
To say that I love you.

I Sit by the Window..
[Never write poetry with a fountain pen. The tears smear the ink. Unless, of course, it's a Cartier. That stuff dries quicker than one cries.]
When you said it was all over,
You shattered my heart;
If it was willed by our fate
That we should fall apart,
Then tell me, in the first place,
Why did I love you at all?
I just can't forgive myself for it:
It's entirely my fault.
Now my eyes are in tears,
My heart is in pain-
So I sit by the window,
And gaze at the rain,
And wonder if I will
Ever see you again.
The times we spent in the movies,
The evenings on the seashore:
My visits to these places
Won't be enjoyable any more.
How I used to love
Chatting with you on the phone;
Whom should I call now
When I'm feeling alone?
The days we were together,
I wish I could regain-
Now I sit by the window,
And gaze at the rain,
And wonder if I will
Ever see you again.
I don't get sleep in the nights,
I lie awake in my bed;
I can't stop thinking about you,
Your voice rings in my head.
I recall caressing your tresses,
Of which I was so fond;
To see your eyes light up
With a smile is all I want.
My memories of you are
Driving me insane-
So I sit by the window,
And gaze at the rain,
And wonder if I will
Ever see you again.
Please come back, my love,
I've turned over a new leaf;
Since you left me, my life
Has become an ocean of grief.
My life is not worth living
If I've to live it without you;
Forgive me, my love
And let us begin anew.
Give me a last chance-
Please come back to my lane;
Now I sit by the window,
And gaze at the rain
With the hope that you'll surely
Come back to me again.
When you said it was all over,
You shattered my heart;
If it was willed by our fate
That we should fall apart,
Then tell me, in the first place,

It's entirely my fault.

My heart is in pain-

And wonder if I will
