One Day One Life

One day one life I want to live in your eyes,

Where I am not the object of attention,

But the person & subject of delight.

When you see not only me, but also

See through me as to what I am inside.

That your eyes make me feel the most beautiful

Woman in the world,

Yet you are also aware of my emotions’ vibe.

One day one life I want to live in your ears,

My voice is the only sound then you want

to hear,

Our talks are more melodious than any music,

Our wordless conversations dearer to us, than

any sweetness this world can spare.

When you listen to all that I convey to you,

Yet manage to understand all which I am unable

to share.

One day one life I want to live in your nares,

You recognize me by my scent, like always,

Still at times you are curious enough to know

the secret of my new fragrant wear,

Making me come nearer to you, for you to find out

All the mysteries of my smiling tears.

You not only smell out my worries that one day,

But also give me a lifetime of rosy memories

Too dear.

One day one life I want to live on your lips,

When petals of your rose convey their readiness to

my own,

Their messages carrying the gift of love forever and no

moans,

Which I’ll cherish all the more, years after this bliss.

That day mine will be the first name after God,

Making your day busier with my thoughts.

Heavenly whispers for each other make stars even

More bright,

My name is the last in the words your mouth knits,

as we wish sweet ‘morning-dreams’, compensating for the

shorter nights.

One day one life I want to live in your heart and mind,

A day when I’ll not need to search for any love signs,

The special moments when I’ll be sure of the value of my

Wait for you,

Then you’ll tell me I read your heartbeats right.

When I will show, how you make my own senses come

Alive,

You were the reason of my songs, and sole cause for me to

Jive.

Even if apart, this ‘pure allegiance’ was our only itch,

My special place will always be mine,

And it is me whom you will always miss,

This one day a lifetime of love, we will live!
