Love Poem: So I Want You

So I Want You

in the shining light of this dawn
I was absorbed into the ektara
dripped down the elixir from this
I licked graciously the rhythm

the wind of springtime embraced not me
the buds color of Krishnachura dyed not me
splashed not me that new drops of Falgun rain
in the waving flow of Karnafully river I’m not drained 

you were in the absolute whispering of the cello 
in the flower garden your melody greeted me solo
everything around me though was very loving
without you I felt my ektara found not any meaning

so I want you into my heart as the all mighty oneness
where love and peace will be soulful inseparable taste
