O breeze that whispered at my door,
And gently pushed it open wide,
When I asked, “What name do you bear?”
You answer sweet, “I am Love, evermore.”
O hopping breeze, whisper words so sweet,
Like the first from mother’s lips.
And let that echo in my soul reside,
As moon shines bright and earth holds grace beside.
When monsoon clouds gather near,
I long for your gentle embrace.
Would you cover me softly,
With the veil of your vibrant saree?
My love, I long for peaceful sleep,
And need a place where dreams can fly,
Would you let me in your eyes so deep?
To rest beneath your starlit sky.
When you draw close with tender care,
I slip inside your waiting heart,
Will you find me hiding there?
My soul reflected in your heart.
Let lovers bloom while flowers hold their gold,
Let love last while heavens kiss the earth.
My womanhood, like a pearl within the shell,
Has grown through time with grace and patient care.
Each passing year has shaped me very well,
Now I gleam with grace, a treasure pure and rare.
Does the unopened oyster whisper, calling me near?
My heart pounds wildly in waves of tender fear.
I thought myself a child, so pure and new—
Your gentle visit aged my soul with grace.
Please take me back before I knew it all,
And let me see the world through younger skies.
Is it fair to seek a cradle’s gentle sway
When years have passed and childhood slipped away?
Is it wrong to curl like babies on a cot, small,
Hearts surrendered to lost innocence?
