Falcon

I was perched on the tree very still

Until you flew past me in the night sky

Like a shooting star in the night sky

And I stood transfixed for all of a sudden

There was only your beautiful form

Unaware was I of the tree,my body or my self

My robes were colorless,

You painted them with your color

My love for you makes me soar

Like a falcon in the sky of your longing

The fair wind of the memories of your beauty

Pushes me onward towards your city

Your city is an impregnable fortress

Your soldiers try to drive me away

By showering the sky with arrows

Hurt I go back to the woods and

Nurse my wounds, only to see your

Beautiful form streak across the sky again

And I forget the wounds, the body and myself

All that remains is but your beauty

And I again take off, unaware of

Sun,rain or wind, I reach near your city

I try to reach you city again and again

I find the doors of your palace closed every time

The day you open the windows of your palace

I will enter inside never to come out

For their remains not me, nor

The palace nor the woods

But then there exists only you

In you presence I forget all and myself
