my beloved is far

my beloved is far-far away
in a distant land, across seas
how do i get to meet beloved
when all are putting barricades
in my efforts to reach love
its been months that I have
not had a look of my beloved
but there is no moment when
I have not thought about love
I may look alive and breathing
but my self, my soul is far away
wandering now in love's street

my soul is thirsty for a look
and my eyes its willing gate
but yet I cannot reach love
yet I cannot cross these seas
these imaginary boundaries
enforced by man on man
how do i touch love again
how i get that assuring hug
of life and love once again
when there is this distance

They say there is a direct
connect from heart to heart
but why then i cannot seek
my love, beloved from here
why does my love, beloved
and I have to suffer separation
and why we cannot even meet
when we both want to meet
O beloved, how to cross seas
when there is no boat around
