Love Poem: If Only

If Only

If only alluring butterflies led me the right way, 
                  If only ravishing flowers showed me the idyllic path, 
               If I fathomed what the blinking stars were trying to tell me, 
         If there were not many uneven pebbles in the meandering  stream 
                                            I was following, 
                             I would come back to you in an instant! 

          May be you were immersed in puzzling thoughts of uncertainty, 
     May be you were worried I would be lost in complex maze of the world, 
Perhaps you sent your adoring messages with silvery clouds which floated away. 
      I would not be hindered by any daunting hurdles, believe me, my love, 
                                    I would find my path to you! 

                               Sometimes life is menacingly gloomy, 
                             dark clouds cover the unilluminated sky, 
                                   Sometimes it rains relentlessly, 
                                   our eyes indistinctly mystified. 
                    Oh my beloved, trust me, trust my unwavering love, 
                I would not lose my way even in the fiercest of darkness,
                            My path would not drift away from yours, 
                                I would unmistakably return to you.
