IF I STAY BACK NOW!

IF I STAY BACK NOW !

Leave not , my heart is not satiated yet
You did just arrive and the spring set in
Let the air hold your fragrance for hours
Let my gaze wander in and around you
Let the evening gradually deepen more 
That my heart can calm down and settle 
Let me live a while when stars do shine
The lamps are lit too ; forbid me never
If I stay back now , I can never go again 
Let my emotions at your cherubic glance 
Spread the wings for they may fade soon
With your thirst and yearning unquenched.
