The Contour Of Our Passion

Time stopped, the world stopped
At that moment when we met
That silvery evening when our eyes met
Memories of that sojourn
Still flashes vibrantly in my mind's eyes,
Your smile - an endeavor to hide your tears,
Didn't we re-lived our past in that one moment?
Tell me Melove,
Couldn’t I play in your heart,
The melody of the broken chords in that one moment?
That sweet rendezvous that you blessed me with
Was then to fade away in a few moments
The sun was setting in the western sky
& I saw your smile-
Your smile - an endeavor to hide your tears..
I knew my love we had to part
But see my dear, as we went away
Time stopped, the world stopped.

Will you still be there waiting for me?
At that cross-road where we parted?
I remember how you turned your face
To hide your tears from me.
I will return to you melady
To turn your face back towards me
We will catch that ethereal moment again.
The tears that I have withheld so far,
Would flow freely on your lap.
They say a man should not weep
But the child in me
Wants your caress, your love
& to nestle in your arms in perfect bliss.

We meet often in some serene dreams
But then you shy away with the dawning gleams.
Memories are sweet
Then why do they pain my heart
When they come?
Our love is true, it’s eternal
& it would waft us away towards eternity.
So let’s meet again
- You & I -
& feel the contour of our passion
Where time stopped, the world stopped
At that one moment when we met...
