Hold me not


                                                      


















Hold me not as the moment has stealthily come
From the fateful abbeys of dark holes,
To ruthless time let’s seek the balm-
Hold me not.

Let the cord that tie our fateful souls
Silently part, without humdrum,
Let secret tears flow far from consoles.

 O’ bees, what monotonous laments you hum
 Cronies- Stop the heart- wrenching carol!
 I need no parting tears, let my strings charm,
 Hold me not.


 (A Roundel)
