Kiss by Umesh Ghoshdastider

Kiss me for I've been waiting for you so long
in the darkest room we can go
or above the soft meadows
or under the white waves of sun
or hidden from everyone's eyes.
So don't wait please - kiss me,
touch your pink lips on my cheek.
Oh! in the twilight I see the pleasure.
Let me touch your yellow skin
and taste the orange in it.
If I'm crazy, forgive me.
my passions are insatiable lust
Please don't deny me for I can't bear that.
We are too far apart, but I can't forget you
for you are my fire of sun.

Untitled by Umesh Ghoshdastider

Today I'm writing but tomorrow
I may cry or smile in pleasure or pain
but how long it would go on in parallel?
Can they never meet to make my life
a blend without any turnout?
When will these clouds make rain in my life?
