luminous stars rise
night-blooming jasmine unfurls
'neath glimmering sky
across my face.

I saw spring coming
in the meadow
where the wildflowers
whisper to the wind.

found freedom on a snowcapped mountain top,

smiled to the child offering violets
cradled in her tiny hands

and when she smiles to me

her joy ripples like sunlight
across the sea of love.

the curtain is lifted.

the soul becomes visible

(always in the wild places
in my heart.)
You can't treat love
Only
As a Routine
Nor
Only
As a Romance
Either.

Love is
Beyond both...

If love is only routine,
Routine that you stick to, like a habit,
You miss love's spontaneous feel

And if love is only romance,
Romance that's exciting and short-lived,
You miss love's steadfast quality

Routine, romance and love
Is as different as
Common sense,  cleverness and wisdom

I write my secrets
On the shores,
And let them get erased
By the tides,
Knowing the oceans
Have hidden them somewhere,
As waves recede and rise

I feel
Unburdened,
A weight is shed -
My heart joins the seagulls,
That circle overhead
Bipasha Dutt Aug 4
The dampness
of the rainy season
        is soaking into
My bones
And
Into my being
