Dear Mallika

Dear Mallika

I've been missing you in my soul

Haven't seen you in what seems like centuries

I'm so cold

And although I know you're safe in paradise

Still I can't help but worry

For your safety I pay any price

I'm sorry I didn't recognize your fathers struggle

But its hard to be understanding with the amounts of task I juggle

When I think of paradise

And the natural spring flowing

I get jealous of your father

Fearing your love for him might be growing

**Dôme épais, le jasmin a la rose s'assemble

Rive en fleurs, frais matin, nous appellent ensemble

Sous le dôme épais, oû le blanc jasmin a la rose s'assemble

Sur la rive en fleurs, riant au matin

Viens, descendous ensemble**

Dear Mallika

When I held you in my arms

Your skin was like a rose slightly caressed by the sun

I chose you before anyone

Walked through the garden barefoot

Tasting mangoes in the forest

My feelings can't be captured by an artist

It was beautiful in every heavenly way imagined

You're my hero

For you Id slay any dragon

Dig tunnels to the depths of my own weakness

I miss all your grandeur your splendor your sweetness

Your eloquence fine raiment's sensitivity

In a land of thousand paradises

You're the epitome

And I'm missing you

For love intensifies from yearmin

I have a smoke filled aura

For my insides are burning

My love is in your shadows

My prayers are always near

And although I live oppressed Mallika

I have no fear

For I know that destiny will cause our paths to cross

And I shall process once more

The love I almost lost

Yes, yes

Dear Mallika, sweet Mallika

As for me sweet Mallika, my country's in upheaval

Menus hearts have darkened

Seduced by silent evil

They oppress me for colour, class, even religion

Vacuums filled with narcissism sucking up the living

Colonial mentality

Conquerors of peaceful tribes

I suffocate and grow weary trying to stand in the tide

But just knowing that one day Ill have Mallika by my side

Helps me live on through the storm

And pull the thorns from my side

Dear Mallika

Sweet sweet sweet sweet Mallika

For an eternity, I shall love you eternally

Wherever you go, my heart goes with you

Ill always love you

We will always be one
