I don't know why all poets at Chowk, seem to think if they don't rhyme every second line it will be the end of time, and then we all will commit a crime, for a poetic sign has got to be loaded with line after line of lime and rhyme...lol
In the nearest language, it always works.

The skin this time is glowing like lime
So smooth it is so pure it lies
I fear I might hurt the lime
So I touch the air that touched the lime


Mmmmm I like that! ;-)

Re: # 1
very very special indeed;)
I read somewhere on google that the terms “thee” and “thou” indicates that the person or object is singular as opposed to plural whereas `you` can be used as singular and plural both. I believe this may be one of the reasons why it is still widely used for reverential purposes in addressing God.
