As I think of you............
forming an Image..........
In my mind, of a girl.........
Who I have never seen.......
Never had the courage........
To ask her for her love..........

 Wishing deep in my heart.......
that if you too also...........
feel the same for me...........
the way I feel for you...........
But then again I know.........
it is not to be..........
I am but just a fool..........

 Trying to catch the moon.......
in a bowl of water..........
Not even realizing........
What I am trying to catch........

 is but just a reflection.........
running after a mirage.......
in this desert of the life......
alas!. it is my destiny........

 The moon I am craving........
and crying my heart for........
is up there in the sky........
nestling in the arms..........
of a dark an handsome cloud........
who infatuates my moon........
of my wishful dreams..........

 but then again I feel.........
why it should be not........
my moon it is so young......
oh so full of life...........
and what am I...........
just a shadow.........

 and shadows............
well they are just shadows.......
fading all the time........
whether it is light or darkness.......
they never stay for long..........

 Neither any past for me ...........
and nor any future for me..........
just a small figment...........
of a vague imagination..........
a shimmering hope for moon.......
and an endless wait...........

 Sometime, somewhere............
may be in some other world........
if not in this life...........
for I am so deeply in love..........
I know I will come again..........
to meet this love of mine........

 The moon that will be mine......
for me will it shine..........
gone will be this loneliness........
these shades of solitudes........
gone will be the dark cloud........
just me and my moon.........

 

my moon and me........
(the shadow of the moon).......
sitting in the oasis........
of the desert of life.......
holding our hands.........
meeting never to part........
body to body........
soul to soul.......

 No one to disturb us......
no one there to part us........
neither day , nor night.......
the water or the air.....
the darkness, the night.........
away from it all.........

me and my moon.......
sitting huddled close.....
and the solitude.......
will guard our love.......
looking in each other's eyes
till we turn in stars........
