Feather touch…….

 

 

My soul was in a slumber

Then you came and showered

Your fragrance through your kisses

And awakened me from my sleep…..

 

I am now imprisoned in a solitary

Cell, of your ardent love.

The heart yearns for looking out,

To see the vistas of green plush valleys;

Sylvan hills, where the nymphs roam;

The stream where the thousand suns

Envisions through bubbles and foams;

Where the green paddy fields ripple

In the breeze, and the lonely man angling

For a stray fish and sings his

Favorite lines, of a popular ballad;

Where, the one legged stork watch

The clouds wandering over the distant

Horizon, casting a shadow, over the

Dales. and the hills on its sojourn;

Where, the boatman sings a mournful lyric

And rows happily against the tide….

 

The rain splattering on the placid lake

Making tiny holes in the surface….

Where the rain drips through the leaves

Of the needle trees, in lustrous rivulets;

Where the urchins play and gleefully

Jump naked, into the murky pond.

 

Your soothing fingers caressing my nape

While you stand close, embracing me

Arouse me from these reveries of the

Long forgotten fantasies, suddenly

I realize, that all these are embedded

In your feather touch…………

 

 

Sitting on the window sill, I strained my ears

To hearken the voice of your treads.

I searched for your foot prints,

On the courtyard of my house, in the sand

The tinkle of your bangles rustling

Against your attire, was heard

Somewhere, through the air.

In my yearning to hear the soft music

Of your love, I heard the vailing of

A nightingale, singing to its mate.

I saw a shadow in the twilight

On the footpath, leading to my house.

Was that an apparition?

 

A thousand tidings, I wanted to tell you;

Soothing your love stricken heart;

Wiping, the crystal drops of tears in your eyes.

To enliven your insipid passions,

To take you away into the land of the rainbows,

Among, the wandering clouds, where the moon

Traverse leisurely among the stars.

There we will find our tenement

And live for ever and ever in our love.

 

 

A Hornbill…

My beloved! My sighs are cast as flowers in your path
Can’t you see? Where did you go?
Leaving ceaseless grief in my heart,
Without ever telling me?

The blooms of desires you showered in my memory,
The mute signs you conveyed through your eyes,
The songs of love you chanted for me…
All the pages of my mind is filled with those
Pictures, you painted with the brush dipped
In your eternal love, and your affection
Wrote the epics of love you endured…
The colours have faded and moldy.
My songs have become wingless flies;
My sky has turned into blackened dusk;
My tread are stumbling, I am groping
To find my goal.

Time, eternal time, on the wings of a chariot
Of four seasons, is passing away.
I still wait for you with a feeble hope
Of a hornbill for the rain in the summer.

Feathertouch…

My soul was in a slumber.
Then you came and showered
Your fragrance, through your kisses
And awakened me from my sleep…..

I am, now imprisoned in a solitary
Cell, of your ardent love.
The heart yearns for looking out
To see the vistas of green plush valleys;
Sylvan hills, where the nymphs roam;
The stream where the thousand suns
Envisions through bubbles and foams;
Where the green paddy fields ripple
In the breeze, and the lonely man angling
For a stray fish and sings his
Favorite lines, of a popular ballad;
Where, the one legged stork watch
The clouds wandering over the distant
Horizon, casting a shadow, over the
Dales. and the hills on its sojourn;
Where, the boatman sings a mournful lyric
And rows happily against the tide….

The rain splattering on the placid lake
Making tiny holes in the surface….
Where the rain drips through the leaves
Of the needle trees, in lustrous rivulets;
Where the urchins play, and gleefully
Jump naked, into the murky pond.

Your soothing fingers caressing my nape
While you stand close, embracing me
Arouse me from these reveries of the
Long forgotten fantasies; suddenly
I realize, that all these are embedded
In your feather touch…………

Solitude…..

Solitude! Are you also a lover?
Are the dewdrops the wrath of the night?
Strange desires! your paths are so broad,
And amazing, with my love.

Soft breeze, can you here this rhyme?
Could you go and whisper into her ears?
Can you come hear to shower the music
Embedded with the love, to me?

The woods have assumed a splendor
And the life a pleasure, always in here.
Forever spring, without seasons.
The spirit always,is in harmony,
All throughout the day and night.
Today my silence is immersing
In the rhythm of the melody
Of your love……..

In the moonlight…

Have you forgotten that night?
When we first met, in the moonlight?
We exchanged our glances artfully.
My beloved, my memories are all
Crowded with the enlightened streams
Of your enchanting smiles.
You are the tiny waves which gives bliss
To the withering memories of my forlorn life.
My pleasures pure, have become mute pangs
Now, smothering my morbid soul.
The fragrance emanating in my life
Out of your reminiscence is now
An elixir, for my existence.
The eternal radiance of your smile
Enliven my spirits and soften my pangs….

Farewell

Oh! Death…
You will not die…
You went without hurrying at last
Into a long dark tunnel .
But you did not die…

There was a piece of lamb awaiting
For you in there…
I am your spirit.
It is time, since I have lost you in me.
You left like the withered petals of a rose,
Assembling back into its stem;
Like the rustle of leaves humming
In harmony with the breeze.
You are a twinge in my heart
Of a poem I could not write…

Each birth, glided slowly into this
Forbidden path, is a poem
Lost in oblivion eternally;
Yes, lost poems…..
What your love, your candor,
Your smiles, your jests, your comradeship  could
Fill in my heart and eyes?
Are only two drops of tears!

My Beloved…

My beloved!
Whenever I feel grief in my heart
I decorate it with myriads of thoughts
About your passion and serene smile..
I lived for quite some time with my
Too vulnerable- ‘touch-me-not’ soul.
Whenever my feelings vex and cajole me
Your name adores my lips!

Because you loved me so much
I felt the ecstasy you brought into my life.
You gave me the wings of a butterfly
And I flew, and saw the wonders of this life.
I tasted the nectar from the flowers in your garden,
I drank the sweet wine of your mouth.
We visited the unseen vistas of pleasures,
I was intoxicated with your love.
Once, I thought this heart belonged to me
And was mine, all alone and aloof;
Now it is only yours.

That Evening….

That Evening…

The amorous tinkle of your anklet
I heard, and the sweet treads in the corridor
Sounded, when you came in
Like the golden rays of the evening sun
Coming filtered through the colored
Panes, of my window.

As a soft overture, when someone touches
The strings of my tense heart,
Like the raindrops settling on the leaves,
Squirting nectar on my life
I was enthralled to hear the soft footsteps.

When you paddled into my chamber
Like the bee circling around the bloom,
Shrouded by minuscule drops
Of the morning snow,
As the footsteps approached me
I found you as another magnificent sun,
Trying to drown in the ocean, of my silent love.

The golden hue of the sun covered you
In silhouette
The buds of my ecstasy bloomed
In those moments, I became one in you
And you became one in me.

The earth and the sky stared to find out
The lover of this gorgeous bride and asked.
“Whoever is the bridegroom of this nymph?”
The breeze whispered into the ears of the
Flower. ”What will happen to night?”
And a few stars peeped out from behind the curtain,
In coy meekness, and blinked gleefully

MEANINGFUL LOVE…

On the day I met you
I realized the meaning of love,
and its ensuing agony.

From the day we saw each other
I understood the rapture in my soul
And the hunger of my desires, along with
The enormity of my passions.

All that feelings are now shrouded
Under the sweetest thorn of my memoirs
I am smoldering, every moment
Baked in these torrential thoughts.

My dreams are fading away in the
Wild tears, springing from my spirit;
Resembling:
The distorted notes of a broken violin,
A lonely tree without its leaves in the autumn,
The scorched earth under the summer sun, and
A shriveled lotus, of a drained pond.

In the broken wings of my dreams
In the wilted petals of flowers of my mind
In the shadows of my despair
Can’t you bring some life, kindling
My emotions with a mystic spell?
