I WILL BUILD A TAJ MAHAL
As an immortal
Token of endless love
For you my Sweetheart! My beloved!
I will build a Taj Mahal
Of my dreams,
A mesmerizing lyric,
A soothing stream.
I will adorn
This enchanting mausoleum
With the milky marble
Of magical words
And the studded jewels
Of wonderful articulation.
I am not an emperor
Just a budding inker
But I'll definitely create
That iconic symmetry,
With lyrical beauty,
And textual serenity.
While going through
It's every couplet
The readers will find
A tale of love is written
On the milky marble face
Of it's every melodious minaret.
This monument
Of selfless love
I will erect
With the cement of my robust ink
And the bricks of
My pen's unfaltering faith.
From the dome
Of a poet's blood and sweat
A tale of everlasting love
Will resonate
Germinating a desire
In the heart of lovers to create
One more a beautiful Taj Mahal.
