# 1

By LJ Kundananji

A time there comes when love must be let go;
When all desire one should forget, yes should
Abandon. There’s a time we shouldn’t keep hold;
A thistle of prickly’s embrace forgo,
Your bosom should it bruise an’ pierce you whole;
Sending thy soul to early, dreary end.
Your pure self guard with all you own and hold
For you’d do good if fatal love a-goes.

Yet should you swoon like vital wind without,
An’ crumble down like boneless jelly does,
An’ pine away your soul should truly do,
Then doeth that thou desires with thine all heart
For should you dare let go that love thou loves
Thou might let go of yours one only true.

By LJ Kundananji

The days I searched and sought for thee were hard,
My life was blighted; darkness ruled my heart;
Devoid of joyous friendship, greatly starved
Of sunlight; drenched with misery; done and faint.

As I lay down the bed of mine I mourned;
Yet never did I once at all know why
This great sad gloominess over me hung like cloud;
Like winter trees lack leaves; I seemed to die.

But when my eyes were laid on thy fair face;
The clouds lifted; darkness vanished; life returned
Again my blood grew warm, no more disgrace;
Alive I felt this great first time indeed.

Complete me truly you do better half;
 I lives because I’ve found my better half.

You are my shining star in dark night sky,
That leads to islands of light, comfort and hope.
You are that candle burning bright with light,
When windows grow very dark and men do grope.

A deep sea of despair I drifted on;
The waves tossing me, knocking me senseless;
My soul away did pine; my heart did groan;
Melted, became just dust, I a dead mess.

Then I saw you my shining star above
An angel descending, bright in white and light
You thrust your hand and in my heart’s dust drove
It sprang to life and beat with all its might.

My one shining star, angel you of mine
On love with you forever my love I’ll dine.
