I Am Listening Your Whisper

Listening, I’m listening carefully
  A secret is whispering in my heart
        What you’re trying to tell me my love,
I’m listening, your whisper in my heart

I hear footsteps even from a distance
   I know it is yours when they are getting nearer
        I smell your scent even from far
 I feel your presence even before you get closer my reach

I touch my face when I smile
  To teach my fingers to see like eyes
        When I touch your face they tell me how 
You are radiantly smiling, when I sing to you

You pick a flower and say it is a jasmine
   And put it on my long hair
         And call me “my white jasmine” 
Hug  me and  shower with your passionate kisses 

You cuddle me sometime and recite
    Dorothea Mackellar's“ Colours of light” 
        Or de la mare’s “Silver”, my favorite.
Though beauty of colours I cannot see, 
 I feel them through your musical stream

All these days I misjudge my God, but
    When I feel your deep love, I know
        The God truly loves me, I feel it too.
Both I cannot see but only how my heart feels

World is a beautiful place you say 
           I do not need eyes of my own to see
             I will see everything through yours, My love
Colours of love in this whole universe

Every moment I dream your touch and your smell
         A secret is whispering in my heart
