 Your glimpse makes my eyes feel blessed, As it beholds Your beauty a little longer, Captures Your image in my head And lets me survive one more day. In the world, I create around You I am the lone Warrior, the sole Martyr The King to Your Queen. Our Abode is a source of Eternal Happiness. Reality doesn't ruin dreams there, You are my Reason and Muse. I write Poetry, sing them to You Like prayers to the Beloved. Unlike this world, no ties bind us Unlike them, you don't deny me for who I am. For You are the destination of my wandering heart The Answer to all my questions. Since eternity You and I have been One You see my adoration, call it love But for those who don't understand My Love is Madness. ~ Suranya
