Sky and Earth

Majestically,

he looms over her,

Mighty and powerful

His moods change

and she adapts

She, the humble one,

the terra firma,

takes so much

assault upon her

Her bosom filled with pain!

While he roars, growls

howls,

she  patiently  awaits the soothing rain

to soak her tenderly.

Creeper and the Wall

clinging hopefully
to an adamant wall
she hopes to rise

 rise she will,
but only as much
as he would.

that fragrant creeper
can never hope
to cross the mark
set by the wall.

she blooms all over him
her beauty draped over
his dry, rough existence
yet fails to wane

In her next life
'she hopes to
become a tree
and rise
to heights set
by her

Within Me

In the recesses of my soul
along with other profundities
and the raw, real me
I discover you!
I don't see you in the mass of humanity
among faces that mean nothing
to me.
I don't find you in wilderness
or manicured spaces
no, not in fine settings
nor in ruins of trivia

Your existence transcends
the ordinary
and reach the place sublime
within me

Fervour

no furs,
or diamonds
rubies,
or sapphires
silks or satins
gladden my insides
as your fervent
kisses
urgent, and
stolen.

the ache within
the endless quest
for love
until eternity.

 desires are
little needles
that prick the soul
 the ache
that happily
ignores the cure

     

Forlorn

I miss the ache

that sought solace

 in your kisses.

The assurance of the hand

that held  mine

in testing times.

I miss the look

that wore warmth

to thaw the icicles

of my soul.

I miss the storms

that made me seek shelter

 in your embrace

Lost and forlorn

I miss everything

about you

A Lonely Rainy Day

 I roam aimlessly,
 bearing your thought,
on a rain drenched afternoon.

The world walks past me
absorbed in its pace
One is never lonelier
than on a rainy day

I look for you
peering into the mist
the fecund downpour
fails to wash off
your thoughts
The illusion stays with me
bearing the audacity of rain

Impulse

Unresistingly
I gush towards you,
my wild wild ways defy your
stolid anchor.

I am impulsive
and give way, often,
to exuberance
Your sobriety
holds me steady.

But look,
how I wrap you, at last,
 in my embrace
and leave you soaked in love!
