·       I Love Being Caught This Way   .

Many a time,

I tried to swallow

Some insult of time, some pain, some tears.

Alone, alone, just, just alone

So that not to disturb my dear.

But every time

You came to know

By your own sweet little efforts:

Out of concern and love for me.

And then, I bowed in front of you;

My head downwards, for the mild scoldings.

Those were nothing

But showers of love

And I love being caught this way.

Can a heart conceal

Aught from the beats ?

Can a body ever keep,

It’s soul in dark ?

So, vain, foolish efforts of mine

To cry alone

Was never a success.

I was caught and got, every time,

Lectures from you,

From your sweet, sweet tongue.

How lovingly I wish, thus

Always to be caught

As I love being caught this way :

To bow my head in front of you

For your sweet, sweet scoldings .
