Love of Illusion

You're there in the pond as like bloomed lotus
I's on the roof of two storey building
Saw you from far sight crossing paddy fields
Juvenile youth made mind embroidered path
I walked there step by step behind the dream
Empty hand seized the heart but with the tears
Rainbow came, peacock danced, cloud shed the rain
Vista was green, birds were happy flying
Bloomed flowers spread love fragrance by the breeze
I brought colorful flowers, songs of birds
Cowboy flute was there to make happy you
Wordsworth, Keats, Tagore were to beautify
But books of loving heart were full flyleaves
Though you made me wanderer by your love
O Dear, illusions, nowadays, I think
Hypnotized me the path of astray love
