Bidhan Acharya
- I am in love with you
Every morning
When you have your head
red with neonatal beams
I breathe with your coldness
A fresh cold wave from you meets me
And makes my day a day - I am in love with you
You lie down from my left to right
Uprising peaks in you stimulate me
I see you are watered from within you
And I feel you invite me to play with it - I am in love with you
Birds sing morning songs of your glory
Sun has the best destination at your face
Clouds always reach to touch your peaks
Oh Himalayas! I am jealous
Had I been the clouds alas!
4.
I am in love with you
I am in love with your water
You generate it and I drink
To give lives to many, you discharge
Rivers have always made me a fanatic
I feel you through the rivers
I am in love with you
Waiting for the day you embrace me
I am staring at you for years
Waiting for the day you invite me
I don’t want to step into you my love!
And enjoying your beauty from afar.
