Ever since you came,

see my buoyance,

when I realised

and fled from senses

and all else failed

and the wind encircled

with stories of oblivion,

my eyes became transparence

And you looked into mine

with confiding eyes,

and read them like a diary

parcelled with your solicitude,

I became a giant,

before life had cast me into

valley deep

where I would bow to my knees

and try to fathom misfortune

By now, thanks to you

I am a force formidabble,

staying unfloat,

walking on the Bay of Bengal,

ever since you came

Look into my eyes,

and there you shall find a locket,

and your passive image

that passified my roar,

dancing in my pupils,

every since you came

all mysteries fade,

and I see who I use to be,

thanks to you.
