Barkis
is Willing
Your frequent visits to me
Sometimes makes me say the desire
Kept in my heart for so long
Suddenly becomes crazy to come out
And says, 'Barkis is willing'.
My eyes watch your posture
From other end of the bed
You sit and spread your fragrance
That gets mingled with my breath
And says, 'Barkis is willing'.
You speak and smile
That look trusted and sincere
And I hear a music of romance
Playing within my heart
And says, 'Barkis is willing'.
Your presence seizes the time
And make things standstill outside,
But inside the room you belong
The infected air adores you
And says, 'Barkis is willing'.
