My Angel

My Angel

Why did you descend on earth my Angel
To be with me in the world?
You forgot this world always separated us
We cannot be together in matter.
‘The fault is not with us
but with our stars’.
We have to be formless to be together.
And as I inch towards that world,
You have just entered to go through your ordeal.
You have to complete what I am about to.
I will wait for you in that park of merrygolds,
And the river will keep the time.
Look! The grand lady has spread her welcome wings for me.
But you will wait a century to be with us
My Angel, May your century be full of love, pleasure and all this world can offer! -
