Each passing day, I crave for your affection,
A glimmer of tears lines my eyes.
Oh! How I miss touching God’s perfection!
My eyes, smitten and mesmerised by your reflection.
My heart aches, and in heaviness sighs.
Each passing day, I crave for your affection.
Rubicund cheeks, lucid skin, Ah! What a complexion!
Alas! Nature’s way know no compromise.
Oh! How I miss touching God’s perfection!
Would that God granted my love, I’d bend in genuflection
How like Faust, God’s will, my soul defies!
Each passing day, I crave for your affection.
O Mind! Lead not , thoughts towards defection!
Rage not, O Heart, quake not in abjection!
Each passing day, I crave for your affection,
Because I miss touching God’s perfection!
