SWEET AND SOUR DREAMS • 129 130 • SWEET AND SOUR DREAMS<br />
Let Us Meet Not / Like<br />
Let us meet not like<br />
Fragrance in a flower<br />
Breeze will dissolve that<br />
fragrance s<strong>of</strong>tly <strong>and</strong> slowly.<br />
Be thou not some lingered visage <strong>of</strong> broken sleep<br />
That haunts the lane <strong>of</strong> my conscious stream<br />
Be a dream <strong>of</strong> sound sleep<br />
That fades from the memory slowly<br />
So that we may put a firm foot<br />
between the dream <strong>and</strong> the dawn!<br />
Meet Me, if you like, overcoming all the obstacles<br />
But mine army will face thine<br />
Entrapped in our encumbrances<br />
We’ll save some bare earth-<br />
A No Man’s L<strong>and</strong><br />
To breathe<br />
To fight<br />
To cry <strong>and</strong> to remain alive<br />
I’ll come back to you again <strong>and</strong> again<br />
Assisted by words<br />
But the distance between the said <strong>and</strong> the<br />
truth will remain.<br />
Put your foot on that distance<br />
And Meet me there!<br />
Rest your head on my shoulder<br />
And let the passion flow gently,<br />
But do save a tear or two<br />
65<br />
For thy own self<br />
For the next enterprise.<br />
Don’t consider the web women round you<br />
your dwelling<br />
Revoke the realms <strong>of</strong> unbounding sky<br />
If step on the threshold <strong>of</strong> my memorylane.<br />
Meet me not like<br />
the flower that<br />
Exists-defies existence.
