Deep and Dark

Deep and Dark
                               
          My hankering for you, my longing for you, 
           my desire for you
          do not allow my thirsty eyes to close the lid.
            My aspiration for you, my delight for you,
               my earnest zeal for you
               always occupy my mind.
             But how do you feel? 
                   I am in dark still.

         To listen to your voice, to respond to your call
               to reciprocate your say
              my eager ears are alert.
        My emotion for you, my feelings for you,
                  my passion for you
            ooze from the core of my heart.
               But how do you feel? 
                   I am in dark still.

        My tension for you, my stress for you
                my worries for you
           do not give rest to my brain.
          To know your mind, to pierce through your heart
                  to perceive your urge
             my pulse beats are always in strain.
                    But how do you feel? 
                       I am in dark still.

          My grief for you, my sorrow for you,
                      my pain for you
              opt for your soft gentle touch.
                Just one glance, a little smile,
                       Just a simple ‘Hi’!
                        I won’t expect much.
                        But how do you feel? 
                          I am in dark still.

                      My love for you 
                  analyzed by my brain,
                    felt in my heart,
                and defined in my mind
              is released through my soul.
                  I could not control.
                 But how do you feel? 
                       I am in dark still.

             Neither brain, nor mind
              neither heart nor soul
              can't have any explanation.
                You are beyond my guess
                 My brain, heart, mind 
                  or soul can’t express.
                    But how do you feel? 
                       I am in dark still.
