"Joota Chupai" (India)
When sinews sag and limbs refuse their sway,
And I no longer can your form embrace,
Will thy sweet lips still savor love's array?
Will smiles still dance within thy rosy face?
And know, dear heart, my love shall constant be,
Though age may silver locks, and bend the knee.
At twenty-three, my passion burns as bright,
And love's strange ways, I ponder with delight.
A gentle touch, a glance, a soft hello,
And daily, love for thee doth ever grow.
This truth I vow, and speak it forth with grace.
Thinking out loud
