shivers fill the bellies of oceans
              swell to skies their wailing waves
rivers curdle in fear turning black
     reflecting dark demonic clouds of hate

             from a crack in clouds
             peeks a helpless sun

in the deathly silence of vales
                          line rowdy chariots of war
murderous to be pursuit of wheels
          more Earth to be stained with blood

in the secluded shell
            of night
   crimson lips unseal
                                                                ­  
 cosmic stillness stirred
   flower ripples tinted
    with touches tender
      on quivering skin
                                                            ­      
       in moon’s breast
     burns a fire tonight
the primeval fire of passion
              in it melt              
   crystals of our emotions
               pristine  

            a night-sky
            bliss-soaked
             bejeweled

  stars hanging complicit

why close
    the petals of your heart
       or shrivel in gloom  
        bury the worries    
         to inhale sacred
         scents of earth
            touched be
        by comely smiles
        of blooming lilies
           and struck be
        by delightful notes
              of robins
         perched on trees
           shines 'pon us
          the sun glorious
         our precious jewel
         of radiant warmth  
     abundant peace to seek
         for our weary being
    under the protective shed
        with twinkling stars

to a summer of metamorphosis you feasted my soul
                      and in copious embraces melted my icy roots
withered the nectar of warm tender kisses
                         the bitter grip of my white winter’s solitude


to call of seasons you uncaged my spirit
                                    joyful flights into spring skies I made
parched soil of mine regaled thick grey clouds
                monsoon rains I drank from the cup of my palms


on net of fragrance of flowers that laced my way
             sprouted verses from kernels of my dormant seeds
petals of rose, lilies, jasmine and chrysanthemum,
                the parchments where I etched lines of my poetry


stagnant waters had moved past cold mute stones
                      with luminous force of lightening in a dark sky
breaking boulders of obstacles gushed a stream
                                        with solutes of emotions and ecstasy

in the soil of my soul
                 you penetrate deep
you, my root
                      from you I arise…
  
in embrace of your beams
            dawns my day with glint of dew          
whistle curls of my breaths
                       in mirthful surge to merge
in allure of your ether’s blue

as drains sun shades                                                           ­                    
                      into the ocean’s placid cool
on lonely shore perched
                              yearns my restive earth
for haunt of your warmth true

from clouds of your kisses countless
                blossoms tender you rain on me            
you, my love, my moon of bliss,
                        ever in the pool of my heart
gleam your magical beams
