When my days are darker and the
nights are cloudy
Heart pains, eyes search and my
head goes all giddy
There’s nothing to do but think of
you and only you
I reach out wanting to see that
light that brings you
I get the glare and the shine but I
still can’t find you
I want to hear the sweet voice that
tells me it’s you
I’d like to hold you tight and get
the same embrace
When I get nearer I see you and I
in different place
107 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
You’re in heaven and I’m still
dwelling in sinful hell
My wish is to hold your hand cos
I’ve stories to tell
When I open my eyes to begin the
tales of our past
I know it is only a dream but hope
it to forever last.
You’ve become but a distant fond
memory of the past
The flashbacks and the
foregrounding all make a blast
They haunt and force me to hum
that often sung song
The parted soul would meet one
day right or wrong.
108 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
That Is Lakhan’s Life
I wrote a name in the sky during
my college days
I saw that the strong wind came
and blew it away
Then I wrote that same name in
the sand some days
The waves of the ocean came and
washed it away
On parting, I wrote that name in a
hearty place
I made it sure that forever that
name would stay
Did I tell her that I liked her? Yes I
did.
Did I tell her that she was an
angel? Yes I did.
Did I tell her that we could live
together? Yes I did.
Did I tell her that she was pretty?
Yes I did.
109 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
If I did then why are we so far
away now? Fate!
I am here and she is there, that is
not great!
We parted one morning because of
health differences
We promised to be connected
without any inferences
Life was shattered without any
physical relationship
I am crying my heart begging for
the same friendship
She is far and unable to hear all
my intimate calls
My days pass with painful cry and
very mighty falls
I wear a fake smile to hide my
world torn apart
Underneath that dismal smile is a
broken heart
All fond memories haunt me now I
made a mistake
110 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Why did I let her go but put more
care I could take
All those golden memories are
slowly fading away
Time moves on and I am repenting
it all the way
The Pretty Lotus shall never meet
me, it seems
Time moved and over half a
century now beams
We had great feelings for each
other all along
On my deathbed I will repent with
my sad song
It now seems I hurt the one I
loved, I know not why
I am so distraught and lonely, I
still know not why
All hopes have faded and all
reunion has gone
Will I ever get over the great loss I
have done?
111 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Rose was the pretty flower once in
my life
Lotus replaced my pond and
became my wife
My pretty lotus gave me true gift of
my life
She loved me dearly and was a
devoted wife
No one will ever replace her
company in my life
This world is now all illusion and is
full of strife.
For all my friends I have this new
message
True love is a bright light in a dark
passage
Faithful lovers keep that alight and
burning
It is a sweet fragrance that needs
smelling
So keep a bit of space in your
heart my dear
112 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Let this eternal love flourish
forever without fear.
Our emotions will recognize no
barriers I say
It will jump, leap and penetrate
space all day
True lovers have no hurdles,
fences and walls
They show their tender loving care
at all calls
Lovers are more alike than unlike
this I know
Lovers see themselves in each
other and grow.
Now that we cannot be lovers,
husband and wife
Saroj in heaven, me in hell and
that is Lakhan’s life.
113 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad

To Love And Cherish Her Again
The time has come to turn back
the clock
Let me go back to that early college
day
She said I could be her prince of
the block
To live a long family life and enjoy
all day
She wanted me to build a home in
a village
Ask all our friends, family and
others to see
On that farm we would enjoy all
our tillage
That’ll be the heaven to live and
die with me
So I wedded my princess and
brought her home
114 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
She loved the company and gave
me all the joy
We flew, travelled; we sailed to sit
in the dome
She bore children raised them with
special ploy
We worked well and retired to live
a happy life
Life was treating us well on all
moves and steps
She was gone when a lightening
struck our life
I tried to save her and prayed hard
on all steps
God stole her soul and planted it
in the heaven
I was left at home to repent, cry
and to mourn
I was left to start a life anew away
from heaven
115 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
It wasn’t that simple to live even if
I was reborn
So I planted a rose in the garden of
my sad heart
To ensure she lived there to smell
the fragrance
There wouldn’t be any thorns to
pierce our heart
No tears to dim the eyes with sad
remembrance
I pledged to see there were no
stones in the path
No bruised feet here and no sad
goodbyes forever
Our new life will be plain sailing
for our new bath
We’d clean both our souls to let
them live forever
My daily prayer now is not to turn
the clock back
116 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
The time that has passed should
never bother me
Thorns and rocks that lie ahead be
placed in sack
Thrown in the deep sea and let her
live with me
The past gone days become all her
fond memories
Her soul to merge within me and I
live my life again
I want to be the charming prince of
her memories
To love and cherish her for the rest
of my life again.
117 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
How Can I Thank Her?
Years have passed when I had a
perfect addition to my life
She entered my heart and proudly
become my lovely wife
She was fair and had a light skin
but no curls no wavy hair
Her living was straight and bright
and her conduct was fair
It was her mystic smile so
meaningful clear and delightful
It was her shinning eyes so pretty
charming and beautiful
She brought that evergreen smile
to my face I remember
Her internal beauty won my heart
at first sight I consider
She had the right wit and the
humour for my love to swell
118 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
I made up my mind to ask her that
in my heart she to dwell
She had her way about so I fell to
my knees and confessed
Like my mentor, she raised her
hands to make me blessed
There were many reasons for my
love I gave her a bunch
The flowers in that bunch could
not meet her pretty face
We were married and she came to
me with a nice crunch
Our life moved smoothly as if it
was tied with golden lace
It was my fortune to have her in
my life as a pretty wife
We were always proud with our
choice to love and live
She loved and tamed me to make
the prince of her life
119 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
We had a lot to share with each
other had more to give
She became my sweet heart and
the only love of my life
Although we were opposites, we
became a beautiful pair
Life was happy the Pretty Lotus
remained my lovely wife
We lived a long and pleasant life
and had a lot to share
When everything was cool and
charming, lightening struck
My whole life came to an end when
she was called to rest
I couldn’t impress the taker of life
as if I ran out of all luck
The love and laughter all ended
and there wasn’t any fest
There’s one good feeling I had for
she admired my poems
120 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
She was the strength for all my
success and achievements
Without her in my life, I couldn’t
have written such poems
All that is created is only for her
and for her achievements
Without her support, I would have
been a zero in my life
She made me a hero of her heart
and made me so gentle
She knew what to do in all the ups
and downs of our life
I’d like to thank her by putting this
poetry on my mantle.
121 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Love is Fire Love is Flame
Love is fire love is flame play it
right it is the best game
To love and to cherish that love is
a vital human claim
If there is a face, I want to see and
treasure in my life
If there’s a smile that made all the
difference to my life
My Pretty Lotus had all of it and a
lot more I admired
All were perfect and touched me
deep that I desired
First thing in the morning when I
heard her sweet voice
The last thing at night was sweet
dreams of my choice
The brush of her hair and the
touch of her warm hands
122 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
The thought of times spent
together lovingly never ends
That is why I say love is fire love is
flame it burns all day
So to love and cherish that love is
deep when she’s away
If there is one joy, one love that I
never ever want to part
It’s the deep love of my Pretty
Lotus that’s filling my heart
She was my special love, my world,
my heart, my soul and all
If time could tarry a little, I could
freeze my love and call
Why aren’t you in my arms darling
where we ought to be
You are still here deep in my heart
where no one can see
You are gone but your fond
memories are here with me
123 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
My life is filed with that deep love
that you had given me
Our bond was so strong and all
our hold so tight and right
That I feel you are my only star
that is shinning so bright
All your blessings are always with
me coming from above
To love and to cherish you I have
found my one true love
Our life was entwined as one when
our love journey began
We knew our love was fire and love
was flame thus we sang
My heart is now so cold and gone
hard like rock and stone
It sits all day thinking of you,
closed and quiet when alone
My day rolls and I get this fear
that my heart will disappear
124 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Then the night comes and that fire
and flame give me fear
Five hundred days have passed
and time has left me all bare
I still want to love and cherish my
love and that’s what I care
When I look back I now find my
heart is dark as black as coal
The fond memories put you in my
chest where there’s a hole
My laptop says I am a robot and
my heart should be steel
There should not be any pain and
sorrow that I could feel
When my love is fire and love is
flame the heart can burn
It still wants to love and cherish
and wants you to return
Lakhan’s heart though dark and
cold, is still open and bold
125 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
It wants to still burn with that love
that my Saroj had in fold.
