SARI
The sari's strange ,
unattended beauty
Betraying lightness in
sweeping movements of wind
The golden threads of
sunshine trying to hide without success
Giving the whole fabric
richness of the ancient maharajah palace
Bright colors lifting
spirits
Making the every woman in it
looking as a queen
The elements of spiritual
beliefs translated into
Translucent, luminous
intrigue, ablaze with song of nature
The birds seems singing in
delight
The flowers are blooming in
the deeper hues
Female charms pronounced
while the fabric draping over
Light whisper shushing in
between the folds
Silk speaking in the
tongues, expressing feelings
For the lack of words
I'D DANCE FOR YOU
Not for commanding head of
John the Baptist
As prize to satisfy my ego's
huge demands
The bloody outcome, measured
by someone life
Not merit such a trifle as
shaking hips before the greedy eyes
I'd dance for you
It pleasing me to know how
much pleasure
The enjoyment you'll get by
watching lovely movements
My body glistening with
pearly drops of sweaty jewels
Very little cloth to show
supple skin brazen assurance
To make you shake in the
desirous temptation
My dance is form of mating
ritual
The silent invitation to
join me later in the bedroom
Continuing the music in between
the ribs of bed
I do not talk , the hands,
flying in the sky
The eyes flashing the
lightening proclamation
The stomach belly dancing
the desire
I think you ready now ,
untie your chilly demeanor
Joining in dance without
name
Who needs a name when feelings
speaking
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU
You made me love you
The charming imp sprang from
eyes
Preparing to unleash the
magic tricks
To further deepens my
infatuation
The strings on heart , tied
in tight knot
Untethered, letting the
energy unencumbered to pass
From mine unquiet soul to
your awaiting one
No,you did not make me love
you
That not right expression to
describe
More likely it was written
in the ancient annals
That we would meet someday
not separating ever since
I loved you long before the
calendar assigned date
What bounded to happen
happened in lightening moment
Surprising both of us with
speed of such occasion deed
Surprise for mortal beings ,
not for the spirits floating around
