SIGHS

  

SIGHS

   Once on a silent frozen December dawn

Like a chill naughty breeze on hill-top

He pushed open window of my heart

   And stealed into my soul and stayed.

With lovely passions he embalmed

Dreams and desires of my youth.

I swayed on higher boughs of ecstasy

And danced in trance of his charm.

When I woke up  from the spell of  charm

That swathed and filled in me for a while

I found him fading into thickets  of hills afar

Leaving me in the bed of moody lassitude

Seeking  secrets of serene virgin wilderness

And I stared unconvinced as if in a dream.

On Eastern tree-tops, morning sun peeped out

From his golden cradle rocked by gentle wind,

Listening to twitter of sparrows hunting honey.

 When his thousand naughty hands pulled off

The heavy blanket of dream from my eyes

And picked up me  from downy warm bed,

Lazy sleep walked out unwilling to depart.

Observing his royal ride forward through

The shining blue carpet spread in the sky,

I wondered at his growth as a haughty prince

Who shower blazing fire on earth at noon.

                                                      O fluffy cloud, we relaxed under the shade

                                                   Of your wings, while you go escort to him.                          

When wheels off ,  his princely chariot hit

 At   western fortress  wall of  horizon,

And royal blood  stains vermillion the sea ,

O weary cloud, being a silent witness of all,

Did you weep a little  to wet the sea shore?

When you pulled  the black veil of night over

         I felt at my courtyard your hot sighs on lost hues

 I too ferried back to memories of my lost charmer

With a garland of past dreams and sighs!!
