Farewell, my love (voice from the heart of a soldier)

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

When the voice of duty calls
Bind me not by love-enthralls,
Touch me not by paining words
For self is not now mine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Far across the mountains and sands
The enemy’s troop captures the land,
I’ll go there to free the Mother
Look, she beckons in sigh.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Come I may, but go I must
To give the blood and quench the thirst,
Of miles long hot dry dust
Be weather foul or fine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

If I come back, Oh my love with glory to the goal
You and I will forever be united by the soul,
But if I kiss death, Oh my dear
Insult not love by frustrationg tears,
For my soul will love thee always
Love in the dark and shine,
My memories will inspire thee
And always remain thine.


Let the world know, our love is not
Just an illusive infatuation,
Let the world know it is but
A perenial source of inspiration.
Which liberates the mind and illumines the soul
And inspire heart towards great goal,
Which sacrifies itself unselfishly
When called for the sake of humanity,
And thus shows the world with brilliance
Its ever-radiating sublime beauty.

My dear friend your poem is very beautiful full of inspiration, tenderness for your lover and yet you have chosen a duty, an important duty, to follow. You should chose both and ask your love to go to battle with you in the poem. I would hope that if I fall in love (and right now I am in love, although some think that it is an infatuation, because we are so faraway from each other--this person lives in India and we only correspond) that everything we do in helping humanity, we do together.

Take good care of yourself I am crying to see that you would be so willing to give up your life for what you believe, crying!!! I don't want to see you suffer or hurt. Forgive me I am too sentimental
