The witch of Bombay, was the name,
By which she was reknown,
But he loved her with honesty,
Though he knew the known,
...
Fair Emily, wake up dear,
Quench a traveler’s thirst,
So that I may breathe your breath,
I came all the way to Amherst,
...
In one winter of deadliest cold,
The night to you my heart I sold,
You remember? I really hope,
I asked for a hug, you said, ‘Nope! ’
...
In spite of the acquaintance,
In spite of endless talks,
We never talked of love,
Never even a whisper.
...
Nice number you chose to hurl,
Nine thousand ninety nine,
I don’t even know that many girls!
But if you say I had affairs;
...
Pale and thin
The roses have now withered,
Your promise starts to appear
Like a distant whisper,
...
The autumn of mistrust
Is here,
Things aren’t the same way
As they were,
...
All alone on the island of thought,
Abandoned by the one I loved most,
I await some stranger,
Me who may find deserving enough
...
This jasmine in your hair,
Smells better than the whole garden,
I never thought a facile fragrance
Of a flower, my heart will gladden,
...
