The ritual of this love

Eye to eye I've drawn near,
heart has found heart's recognition,
in glances and gestures, each time I've sought,
I've understood—intuition never lies.

This heart trembles to test with words,
stays mute still, should I venture to ask,
lest daylight shatter this dream,
no need for further proof, no need!

When you're hidden from sight, my life cannot survive,
when I keep you this close,
how blissfully my eyes float,
should we part, my eyes overflow like monsoon rain.

I love so deeply, love so deeply,
yet when you come near, words won't rise to my throat.

I know love's way—
I drift in joy, weep in sorrow;
does the heart listen to reason?
It laughs through tears, smiles in anguish!

Let them not hold me in their heart,
I'll live with them till death, even so!
