For You Honey, I Done Several Deals

Penned By Narayan-Chandra Rauf 

For you and you alone

I have brought

the palanquin of moments

in words

Brought tender verses

for you

enconsced in perfumed couplet

Needless to say -
I have made innumerable deals with poems,
for you

That the sharpnel of stars
don't prick your eyes
I brought the sky
made of glass, for you
For you, I knit stars
larger than diamonds

Needless to say -
I have made innumerable deals
with the skies,
for you

I brought fragrance
robbing from the blooming buds,
sang the seven notes of melody
For you, I chose fruits,
spread honey

Needless to say -
I made deals with birds singing in gardens,
for you
