Nameless verses to my love (5)

There's a night I want to see
A full moon night when you and me

Witness the love at its final peak
Reach the oasis that we seek

Take a dip and all is done
Scars disappear one by one

Lie down in your lap then soon
I look at you, you look at moon

One with you and not a gap
Take my last breath in your lap

Nameless verses to my love (4)

With pace of life we move our feet
We dance with death on every beat
Here with sky, the earth does meet
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

Fear is there, I understand
Fear is there while you stand
Trust me once, give me your hand
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

A sacred dance, no one to blame
Come! And you won’t remain the same
The whole carnival in your name
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

More than a dance, a pilgrimage
Be it a saint, be it a sage
All have danced on this stage
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

Nameless verses to my love (3)

Beheaded life thrown to dust,
Broken and bathed in blood.
And bruised beyond recognition… Who was he?
The warmth in the dead blood!
Perhaps he was a martyr of love,
Thrown to dust, disfigured and torn.
Yes! He is dead and now I mourn…
Not for his death, but for my life
That could not be laid instead of his…
Come! End this suffering, this endless regret…
My love let me, in your name,
Lay my life and come to grace…

Nameless verses to my love (2)

I am…
…your shadow that never parts,
…your refuge, the darkest of hearts,
…your truth, the father of lies,
…showing the way to your oceanic eyes.
These shoulders, whenever you ask.
This face, forever your mask.
This being for you stands.
Won’t let you fall these trembling hands.

Nameless verses to my love (1)

You are the one I’ve always worshipped
You are the dawn of my nights
Tell me if you’re God and it is paradise
Now that you’ve taken me to such heights
Fear not, there’s nothing to fear
Wait and all will come out clear
And waiting together we stand
We see the sunrise, hand in hand
And meanwhile I go on worshipping you
You are a vision of light in flashes
And the dust from your doorstep, my love,
Is liner to my eyelashes…
