MY PILLOW WAS
MY PILLOW WAS WET
The last night of week-end
When I was going to bed
You came silently like a lion
Who takes position after its prey!
You knocked on the door quietly
Entered tiptoes into my room
Whispered in the melodious voice
Melted some nectar in my ear
Your, such behavior was rare
You had held my hand
Took me to moon-light land
That was a serene seashore
Full of soft white sand
When we looked around
It was melancholic Virgin Island
I plucked some fruits
From the nearby tree
Believe me!
Those were absolutely free
We got our hands and robes
Messed with the juices of passions
We put off them to get into the water
The beach was so neat and clean
I don’t remember how long we swim
We were weeping on our departure
When I woke up
It was a pleasant morning for me
The room was smelling
With the fragrance of lily
One thing I noticed
That was very strange
There was no sign of rain
That scene, I can never forget
My pillow was wet!

MY DREAM GIRL
You are my dream
You are my thought
The beauty of the universe
The earth and sky exist due to you
A tiny relation with you can make
A sky to the earth
A Milky way to the dusts
A king to a slave
If a word alone ’Love’ happens with you!
It would be a charisma, a miracle
An abide of beatings
Which may be called a ’Heart’
If your name gets into it
The whole world would become shadow
The glory of the parties would turn into mirage
Your dream
Your thought is my life
My moments are bright you
You are my best times
You are my months and years
You are my dream
You are my thought
You are the beauty of the world
