Doing what must be done just doesn't seem fun
As if there is nothing left to adore,
life seems like a bore.

This is BELOVEDz's serenade
A ballad of sorts for LOVERz

HEER:

Sing everywhere
Tell everyone our LOVE
This is our story of LOVE
Heer's search for Ranjhaa

~~~

YOU met me once
And touched me with your LOVE
YOU left your LOVE in my SOUL
And when we left each other
I left a cut-scar of LOVE-mark
On your left fore-arm

Every night in darkness
You come and kiss my fore-head
You come and kiss my toes
You surrender to me and
Melt me to dissolve in YOU

I've been wailing for YOU
I've been lamenting for you
Where are you gone
Leaving me like this in
Pain of your LOVE?

Come and see me....
What all I do to search YOU
To bring YOU back to me...

Like I left a LOVE-scar on your body
Why didn't you leave one on my body?

Why can't I rub the blood on my face
That oozed out of your scars?

I want to make a permanent mark
Of your LOVE on my SOUL
On my heart, chest and breast
As a sign and symbol of
Your LOVE's accession over me

Why can't I carry your LOVE
In my motherly womb?

I dreamZ of you a lot
Because you are not with me physically
Still every night I find
Your LOVE spirit within / besides me

I am letting you know
That this is my LOVE for YOU

No one in the world knows that
I've not allowed the world
To even sense my deep LOVE for YOU
Why we should unnecessary invite and
Influence jealous people's
Evil eye on our PURE TRUE LOVE?

You come and kiss my fore-head
You come and kiss my toes
You surrender to me and
Melt me to dissolve in YOU

Sing everywhere
Tell everyone our LOVE
This is our story of LOVE
Heer's search for Ranjhaa*


(Read the Notes)
At this moment
Ranjhaa's baritone cuts Heer's soprano

RANJHAA:

"Feel my LOVE Heer
I do not have materialistic wealth
I only carry the worth of your LOVE in me
There is only one person who
Writes LOVE poems for ZheerR...

If we can't meet now to be ONE
I will meet death in your LOVE"


My Veil of Life
Is colored with LOVE

Everyone insists, but...
How can I remove YOUR LOVE
From my life's colors?

How can I face the world
That looks down on my LOVE?

How can I go back home
Who insults me for LOVING?

How can I look into the eyes
Of the world that
Humiliates my LOVING YOU?

The society calls
My life sinful
Just because I LOVE YOU

Yet for the first time
I feel blessed of being really "born"
Since our LOVE happened

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten everything about
Life, living and work

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten the vows and
Promises I took to earn
Success, status & wealth

My eyes are set on my BELOVEDz
Now how the world expects me to
Toe the line of their
Rules, laws and traditions?

Today I say this to the world:

Life is sinful without LOVE
This life has only taught me
Illusion and delusion of living

It is YOUR LOVE...
That freed me up from fear
That taught me to REBEL
Against the cruel enslaving world
Against my own self - EGO "I"

In our LOVE, we stand together
In our LOVE, we stand tall
In our LOVE, we got a spine
In our LOVE, we self-introspect
Within each other's SOUL

Our veils of Life
Is colored with OUR LOVE

Let us splash our life
With RAINBOW colors of Our LOVE



Ugh!
they cut
half my tree down
the one closest to me
where the birds made their nest
which became my shelter too
screened and swaddled by boughs
so i'm mourning a myrtle today
as Jonah once grieved for a vine
appointed by God to grow up
and ordered by Him to
go to remind
us there are
things more
important
than plants
like poetry
and people
and maybe
its one of those
i'm really missing anyway
I know I chose this
This cage
This maze

This prizon
This haze

                                    In this exile
                                I am safe

                    feeling fragile
                             but still my mind's
                
                                               ­     slave
I did this to myself.
