A Common Fear... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

my heart will bleed in blue sorrow
if minus you comes any tomorrow

once He grants me you for ever
nothing and never shall i borrow...

when plus you brings a jackpot joy
that floods me to the rosy core
a fear often brings a coffin cold
what shall i do if you aren`t with me any more

not in any wild dream
i dreamed of any Belmont
never did i dream of any Monsieur or centaur

you came to me like a happy dream
ah! so real a joy...
more than a fancy pleasure
in half-sound a slumber

yet a fear pulls me apart
and draws out all tears
what shall i do
if we ever go asunder
