Have you ever been in love?
I have
With a perfect maiden
A queen of goddesses
Who I met in my dreams.
There was so much light
A silhouette of her figure
That's all I saw.
I drowned in her intoxicating eyes
It was the paradise I've wished for
She vowed to give me all her heart
Where nature is beautiful
Where God lives.
Now I'm awake
My love faded with the night
No! Those feelings were real.
It turned me into a voyager
I've sailed from West to the North
Scouted the city of Paris and Rome
To Taj Mahal - the Mausoleum in Agra
Even Greece.
To all ladies I come across
I repeat what I first told her
"Let's talk about love."
None replied well
The voice sounded harsh
Not one matched her smile
Even her voluptuous breast
To worsen it - her swinging waist.
I'm now a prisoner of love
Still waiting to be freed
By the queen of my heart.
