Don’t Leave Me (Prasupta Roy)

Don’t leave me even for a moment, my love

for, you and I are like the two droplets of tears from two eyes

when mingled together have no separate identities

but one, where you and I are merged.

I am the earth, ever trodden and parched,

quenched and healed by your touch.

You are my rain, my soul, I cling to in my pain and desire.

You are the blood that runs deep in my veins keeping me alive.

So, if ever, for a second, you forsake me,

my breath stops and I fall.

My love, feel me as I always feel you

in the air that touches you and me,

the sun that radiates and the moon that shimmers,

and warm each other with sighs and groans.
