LET ME BE 

let me be the meandering brook

dancing through the parched hills

resting for a while amidst the thirst

longing for the bubbly spring

spraying with the misty droplets

or let me be the fire 

that ignites the sun

burning all the while

make you burn too in the heat 

with flames of fiery passions

let me be the dewdrop 

that rolls down the eyes 

of the wild flower

mixes with her fragrance

and calms your crazy nerves

let me be the morning scent

heady and strong

wet as the early breeze

cooling those burning

unslept eyes of yours

let me be the fountain of love

sparkling like crystal

reflecting the colours 

of the flitting rainbow  

in the chambers of your heart

let me just be the kiss

nestled between those two lips

scrunched and bruised

yet red and throbbing

on your vibrant mouth day after day
