SIMPLY YOURS I’m simply yours, Every minute, hour, for endless years Along the vennels of past, present and future, I’m simply yours Like fishes for water, Birds for wind And stars all over the sweep of the space, I’m simply yours, Yours only always. Clouds may form without water, Tides may run without wind, Times may bubble beyond space; But, beyond your orbit, sheer nought I’m, Without a fulcrum to stand on and belong, Without horizons. You give me an axis, my horizons, Wherein I swim in joy of what I am And make me I, and I’m yours Of unalloyed mould of heavenly bond Of shared pains and shared pleasures, Where age is no constraint And distance is no bar. You are my world, my light, You are my fulfillment, You are my reason, my meaning, You are my cause and target, Wherefore I move all through life. From the scary womb of pitch darkness, I feel the streaks of feeble light Flying at me from horizons you fill; I hear your beckon, I madly look to breakout to light And blend and bond with you forever; But, shut all round and wings broken, No glimmer of hope to light my fuse, I only declare, I’m “Simply Yours”.
