With a thundering clatter,
the sound of an oncoming train
echoes
all through my heart.
Fluttering softly,
her eyelids blink,
and in a heavy downpour,
my heart gets drenched...
In the sound of
the whistle she blows,
there is the rhythm of poetry...
Like someone drunk
on sweet honey, I roamed...
Next to a giant pyramid,
like a tiny ant...
I felt so small before her.
With a thundering clatter,
the sound of an oncoming train
echoes
all through my heart.
Fluttering softly,
her eyelids blink...
and in a heavy downpour,
my heart gets drenched...
The path of the rivers,
the birds know.
The direction she comes from,
my heart knows.
Every single time
her face appears,
just like the very first time,
my eyes widen in wonder.
Restless, broken sleep,
waves of sweet trance,
if she is just by my side,
that is more than enough.
She walks at one end of the street,
and the other end trembles.
To measure the height of her beauty,
no instrument exists!
With a thundering clatter,
the sound of an oncoming train
echoes
all through my heart.
Fluttering softly,
her eyelids blink,
and in a heavy downpour,
my heart gets drenched...
Without wings, I flew;
without a path, I walked;
just to see her face,
my days throb with longing.
In the flower tucked
into her jet-black hair,
if I get even one petal,
my whole world will turn fragrant.
The silence of the deep sea...
my heart carries it,
but if all of a sudden
she looks at me, it leaps up!
The beauty of the radio waves,
melting over the FM broadcast,
the moment our fingers
brush each other,
lightning strikes!
With a thundering clatter,
the sound of an oncoming train
echoes
all through my heart.
Fluttering softly,
her eyelids blink,
and in a heavy downpour,
my heart gets drenched...
