I Wont Turn to You

Hey stream—

Keep away the beats of your heart,

I wont turn to you even in my thirst:

Not the sun, nor any lust,

                        No endurance either—

save the moonshine lets me down.

Ample sources of happiness are

                      in Sita’s ostracism I know,

Hey stream—

                       break your bodily passions through ‘

                       believe me, I won’t turn to you

                       to spread moonshines in poetry !
