My Vow (Raksha Bandhan)
There’s nothing more expressive than a love
Who in intertwining on a wrist can find
The deeper meaning stitched on a thread
A single Expression of an endless time
A single mark of unbreakable vow
A promise, the tip of a raging flame
Wool and cotton bring metaphoric reason
To the invisible bond that ties two hearts
With a thread more precious that gold itself
By a million times if I may be so bold
As to quantify How Much I Love You
Then nights would be starless forever
Then waves would crash upon sandless shore
And oceans, rivers, seas and lakes would dry
There will be no history or proof of mankind
And mathematicians would go insane
Because I would pull sea and land together
Use up all the stars, the sand and drops of water
I’d use all of past’s men and the greatest tools
And would still not be able to begin to fathom
The numerical value I would put to your love
I love you more than numbers grow
I love you more than God can count
And I swear by the thread upon my hand
This gigantic proportion of love, is only today’s
