Come, Lean On My Breasts Poem by Arun Maji

We have spoken much
Let us be quiet now.
Let our silence speak those words
We so far could not speak.

Let us look at each other's eyes
And see those words
We so far could not speak.

Let us touch each other
And feel those words
We so far could not speak.

Let us hold each other tight
Allowing my heart to touch yours,
And hear those words
We so far could not speak.

O beautiful, o my love,
We have spoken much
Yet we do not understand each other much.
Now let us be peaceful
And just love each other.

May be,
Our love could speak those words
That we do not know yet.
May be our love could help us
Heal wound that is aching,
Renew dream that is broken.

Come, lean on my breasts
And see those stars in moonlight sky.
Those distant stars carry
Words of yours and mine.
