Someone holds my tounge
When I abuse and scold someone
Asks me not to :
Someone holds my hand
When I raise my hand
Asks me not to :
Someone knocks my heart
When I try to snatch one's right
Asks me to retreat:
Someone looks at me attentively
From an unassailable height
Asks me not to;
I stare at that quiet height
Day and night.
And,
I search him like my partner
In hide and seek :
I search him like my partner
Missed in a sojurn.
