Me.. Myself & The Ice Vampress...

You, only you, the beauty of boundless colors...
You, only you, of the beauty of endless colored spirit...


The shadow on my heart is your boundless colors, your endless-colored spirit...
You're such a beauty but why are you so distant?
When you are near, you are feeling itself, endless-colored one.

Are you a dream, or a shadow? endless-colored one...
Tell me now, when will this wild wind fall still?
Love is an uncontrollable fire, o Ghalib!
(Ghalib: Urdu poet. This is a shair, or verse, from one of his 'ghazals' -- a form of poetry in which the poet often finds a way to include his own name in the verse. The verse is brilliant because 'gaalib' means 'overcoming' or 'triumphant,' so the line could literally read, 'No one has control over love; it is a 'gaalib,' or triumphant, fire)



It cannot be started on a whim, and cannot be extinguished if you try
Love is an uncontrollable fire, o Ghalib!
Her eyes touched me like so -
lightly, lightly, and I was infatuated;
it filled my heart.
You, only you, you are all the sweetness of living!
You are my longing, my longing itself
The flame of your body
fires my breath;
desire urges me onward.
My pain begins to understand its purpose:
You, only you... You are all the sweetness of living.
You, only you... You are my longing, longing itself!
You touch me like a whisper,
your eyes softened by silence.
On the floor I make my prayers,
some conscious, some unconscious.

I am entangled in your ways,
entangled in your embrace.
Let me disentangle my wits;
I am snared by your desires!
I am possessed by living, possessed by dying;
save this, there is no peace.
You, only you,
you, only you, of the endless-colored spirit...
Love is an uncontrollable fire, o Ghalib!
It cannot be started on a whim, and cannot be extinguished if you try
Love is an uncontrollable fire, o Ghalib!
Let me sleep in the lap of death!
Let me drown my body in your soul,
you of the many colors, of the boundless-colored soul

and the boundless-colored soul is defined as "THE ICE VAMPRESS.. my queen... the missing link of my soul...

"where art thou O' Ghalib .. end my Misery O' Bounless-colored soul... my beloved!

till the next session... cioz for now!
