Here’s a love poem from Lata, in Different Truths.

Far away from your city, sitting beneath the stars,
my impatient heart and sensible mind were fighting a deadly war.
One we are but living apart, that’s how this relation starts.
The connected heart can hear you aloud, whether you and I live in an unknown town.
The soul trembles and my hands do the same,
the pain of distance makes me insane.
The pole star is not so bright, its midnight hour when the pain arise.
The clouds draped the moon so tight,
but my eyes are still searching for your sight.
The clock turned to morning hours,
sun was about to gleam at the tower.
But the silence was still prevailing on my lips,
waiting for you until my breath sinks.
