LIKE YOU AND YOUR LA GATA

LIKE YOU AND YOUR LA GATA
Like La Gata forever
Dwelling in your memories
So have I sowed
Your seed in my brains-
A colourful flower
That will never wither . . .

You wouldn't miss
A second if it ran twenty-four
Hours in a day-
So won't I be fed up having
You at all times by my side

You wish sometimes
That an episode never ends-
I too wish moments with you never
Fade in the merciless hands of time

But when sadly
The show ends
Your eyes glow with unseen tears
Hoping for the next episode to
Hit the screen

Yes-
Day and night I keep watch
With a blazing hope to meet you again

Like you and your La Gata
My Love
