Love Marriage
my love I
wreathe around you
my arms in
intense intertwine
lips to lips in
nocturnal flame
cleaving billows
of the ocean
along the shores
of raging tides
I am the amorous
green creeper
freshly bathed
in the dewy drizzle
of luscious
senses of the pure night
climbing up your
virile bark in swirls
my wriggling
soul in incensed whorls
we have pilfered
time for loving each other
in the surge of
the storm wheezing past
the turbulence
of deep silent permeation
our kisses
piercing our innards to our depths
the lilting
waves of cataracts in fierce flow
as we fall
asleep our vibrancy surges to
the peak of our
saturated hallowed love
we rest like
birds and bees the seers of nature
in midnight
bonding away from prying daylight
our love-laden
slumber a piece of eternity ---
Fire Flies
Holy
Up on the
verdant silver hills
The picturesque
gleamy stills
Peaks calling
loud on vales
In fiery peace
beyond gales
Motions fervent
high and low
Yearning winds
warmly blow
Glow-worms
sparkling lights
On radiant holy
ecstasy nights
Summit pierces
down in love
As dreamy plains
gaze above
With serene
impassioned breeze
Blowing among
rocks and trees ---
Sun shines now
in amorous rays
As it dances in
lambent waves
I dive into the
fathomless deep
Meeting you and
me in rising sleep
Incandescent
ballet chimes within
Our river and
sea weds outside the din---
Rivers Meet
a slice of moon
a spark of love
in the hush of
clasped souls
in the depth of darkness
along those faraway
banks
of rivers in coitus
waters mingle in
fragile fluidity
the horizon bending to
kiss the Palamau
pinnacles
while the lilting music of the spheres
celebrate our
effusion of love
tearing at the heart strings
in quivering
fear of
the
moment of parting ---
those two
swallows
on the treetop
sleep in each
other’s wings
with dream clouds sailing
across the midnight-blue
hearts, arms, bodies in pulsation
bonfires lit all
around
spots of light and fireflies
flickering in
the nightscape ---
are those lamps of jubilation
or funeral pyres of love soon to
die
with betrayal already
simmering on the edge
---
we lived several
trillion
years of togetherness
along the banks
of the golden
Subarnarekha espousing the Kharkai
in those
minuscules of time
stolen out of ordinariness
snatched away
from life
though poverty kept shivering in the cold
with no human
blankets to protect ---
we flowed still with
the merging rivers
in the tremor of love’s fickle being
in the knowledge of knowing
in the abandon of loving
at Nature’s rendezvous
of the streams ---
