Song for Inamorato by Jagari Mukherjee

For Inam Hussain Begg Mullick 

I heard the moon's hymns last night

by the light of a candle; a paper kite

flew past. When the last flame softly died

I longed for you by my side.

Inamorato,

When I am alone and you are far,

I search the stars that swim the psalms

of the sky for glimpses of your love.

I dream of your shades and tone,

my being collapses in your arms—

I merge with all gods above.

From Letters to Inamorato
