Kiss me once more,
Steal me a shadow,
Turn out the lights;
And take me away.
No time to mourn,
Terror, be gone!
Laughing and crying,
So kiss me once more.
Tell me I am crazy,
Staring at the sky all day.
Spin me a story
So instead, I may touch yesterday.
Perhaps, I see too clearly,
Living in memory,
So turn off the lights
And take me away.
Varsha Panikar
