Grass And Leaf !

Like the grass that treasures,
The dead leaves..
I keep you in my bosom...
I pray each day..
No strong breeze should...
Sway you away...
Away from me...!
Like the fallen leaves..
Of mid-autumn..
You left home..
But could not leave the heart..
Could not move apart..
From near the tree..
To which you once belonged...!
I am but a stretch of grass...
You a leaf astray...
No wind shall be brave enough..
To take you away...
Away from me !

In Love Again !

Am feeling tender again..

Today am feeling you..

The blowing breeze..

Touched me, making me new...

Like that flower dainty..

Am too fragile in love...

Give me all you can tonight..

Pour on me all that you have...

Fading rays of dwindling sun..

Dupes me each evening fine..

Tell me once tonight..whisper that..

You too have fallen in love again !
