Listening to someone’s words
makes my body tense.
A strong thirst for deep bond arises
in the mind.
When I think of someone
the moon wakes up in the darkness
Of course Henna, Karbi and Bakul emerge to mind.
That flower bouquet can not be given
to any beloved hand
Only when the senses are intense
one can feel his scent and
the intimacy of his touch.
