Deep in love
cheek leaning on cheek we talked
of whatever came to our minds
just as it came
slowly oh
slowly
with our arms twined
tightly around us
and the houses passed and we
did not know it
still talking when
the night was gone
cheek leaning on cheek we talked
of whatever came to our minds
just as it came
slowly oh
slowly
with our arms twined
tightly around us
and the houses passed and we
did not know it
still talking when
the night was gone
[Bhavabhuti (c. 8th cent. CE, trans. from the Sanskrit by W.S. Merwin & J. Moussaieff Masson), ‘Deep in Love’ from Uttara Rama Charita]
