Poem - When You're With Me, Poet - Prafulla Kr. Panda
When You're With Me
When you're with me-
Time stands still
While each moment embraces us
In the arms of youth
Where there is no gloom of deceit
Nor the darkness of deception
But like shadows
We both remain closer ever
Like planets, we rotate round love
As we fall in each other's embrace
And dream together
Looking for a way to live
Till eternity
When you're with me
Time stands still
In our silence
Everything becomes silent -
Where neither the clouds nor the seas roar
When you're with me
Heaven descends on earth
With the fragrance of champak, henna & jasmine flowers
And flowing with the breeze
From horizon to horizon
From heaven to the earth
With the incessant sound of Koels
Permeating endless joy, and bliss
Like that of our love
Instilling in us endless emotions
That elongates like a long road
Running from one direction to the other
And the journey of our love never ends with time- as of continuum-
Goes on & on, forever
When you're with me
Time stops
And the moments adorn with the colour of love
Where drunk Gopis dance
Throughout, till eternity.
