One stone of sweet words

Created romantic ripples

In the pool of my heart.

This whirlpool created such music

That made me feel drowsy

All day and night

Rearing and basking my soul

In the shade of Love.

All on a sudden

I got up startled

Hearing the loud thud

Of one more stone

Hitting my heart

To awake my mind

To be alive to the reality

On the social ground

Protected by society’s customs.

Now I find myself

More experienced

While ignoring the bed

Of fantasy and romance,

I realized my true self.
