A Love Waltz






I'm awake,in wonder,listening to the rain,
My arid heart now fragrant,glistening with the rain,
Senses that give in,yet fortified once more,
As the love of the rain gods descend in this pour.

I hear anklets rhyme with the passionate beat,
A magical waltz by the rain and her feet,
Her heart knows no bounds,her feet keep pace,
A flash,and she turns - joy now has a face.

With not a care for the eyes of the world,
Or the mighty gusts of breezes cold,
She pours her heart on a dampened ground,
Which resonate in fullness,a lyrical sound.

My heart jumps a beat to watch her like this,
Eyes stare in awe,thoughts amiss,
If sight to these eyes,today was gifted,
No better time could the veil have been lifted.

For I see now,oh! And I see clear,
Beauty in motion,like a spirited deer,
The gods approve in thunderous applause,
And the rhythmic chants fade into a pause.

She stops and turns,to my eyes in the stands,
Mindless, I too applauded with my hands,
A fluster is once seen,a shyness takes lead,
Pulses of her anklets wane with worldly heed.

I stand still in awe,I know not what passed,
A heart so full in moments, is empty at last,
Wandering eyes look for shadows moving in grace,
Effervescent cries,seeking once more her face....

A sea we call World..






Trivialities,the greatest of pursuits without a cause,
A slender boat,a broken soul, on a random toss,
Faith prevails when the storm passes hence,
Only to be bribed by worldly sense.

Knowing that tides will rise and fall,
Random,yet certain to tinker us all,
Lions too here lose their royal touch,
For might it seems,counts not as much.

A lull is often felt,a peace calling,
TO be broken by cries of hundreds,falling,
Tossing, turning, with only air to hold,
Gasping as their grip loosens with the cold.

As waters gush to fill a lonely heart,
An anchor is dropped into the lucid dark,
Lips quiver,a tear runs down,
Unseen,yet tracing the path of a frown.

A million sobs are stifled by hushes of waves,
Tears that shatter in the darkest of caves,
What once was a struggle,has ceased to be,
As yet another brave soul loses to this sea...
