Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 8 April 2023
With the fire burning in my soul,
Let me make it clear,
You are my secret love
That I could not share
For the hidden desires of my heart
Like the buzzing bees swarming around the wood
Your thoughts revolve around my world
This is the only secret my heart holds
Nay, I don’t want to forward it to anyone
Let your fiery love set my heart ablaze with impulsive desires
But let me lock my lips with a covert wish
I don’t want to be free from these dreams
Hiding with the tormented passion
I wish I could win you like a phantom
But again a reality brings me back here
Oh, like other lies, let me go on and on
To be with you is the deepest secret that I hold
And let me cherish my secret passion sans any fear!
