my only honey

By Doel Sengupta

I wish the hurt and pain never occured,

I wish I had never lost my mind

Peace is a treasure that has returns manifold

And these days that is where my energies lie.

I wish you were still there for me

Having you to caress and cajole

But nowadays the dogs bark all day

And this night is surely cold.

I wonder if you think about me Life

Where there is love that is where I find

That symphony of Love and Life are gold

It's a jewel that i wish to continually hold.

I think you know when I tell you sweet

Not having you near me brings on the heat

And try as I might now my efforts are small

But soon in the wild forests I stand tall.

Someone somewhere asked me for money

And I became protective and left being sunny

And in the evening when the crows caw

I regret losing my mind-- my biggest pause.

I love literally all of you

And not having you makes me so blue;

I want to tell you pretty neatly 

That decidedly I can't change you

But Ive changed myself

And that is all it takes,

A microsecond of prayer,

A whole box full of poetry

And one small dereliction within me

Is that you are my only honey.
