In the dead of the night
I lay wide awake
Straining my ears
To catch the sound of Your footsteps
As You could enter stealthily
Into my room any moment
As You entered my heart
Unexpected many years ago.
How? Exactly I can’t remember
Had I opened the doors of my heart
And asked You to enter?
No it wasn’t anything of that sorts
You came on Your own
And took over
My heart, my head and everything else
Slowly, sweetly, gently
and everything became beautiful thereafter
Tears became joyful
Sorrows much less miserable
Smiles emerged from the heart
And laughter childlike uncontrollable!
I fell in love
I drowned in Your love
My heart flying in bliss
My heart aching in pain
To see You once
To hear You speak
To touch Your Lotus Feet!
When will You come
How long will You make me wait
Have mercy on me, please
Reveal yourself to me
In Your fullest glory
Allow these eyes to behold
The most magnificent sight to see!
Tonight my doors are wide open
I beg You to arrive soon
Or do You like visiting uninvited?
Shall I close the doors then
And pretend to sleep?
And You shall barge in
Like a storm to sweep me off my feet
To take my heart away
And whatever else as mine I keep.
Be it that way then
Be it Your wish
I am waiting
Waiting for Your footsteps…
In the middle of the night
Pretending to sleep…
