joy
throbbing garden
intoxicating
you and me
a divine musk
as love
writes
upon each verse
time
slithers away
distilling into memories
ours
shall be a memoir –
a throbbing garden
bursting with colours
in full bloom

stillness
my air
permeates
with your fragrance
a subtle peace
blossoms
within
suffused
with divine light
barriers collapse
bridges form
as my soul
meditates
silently
at your lotus feet
awakening
let the mist uplift
so tears can dry
and smiles can bloom
drop your ego
surrender
nothing is worth more
than love

time
slowly
slips away
but carefree
in your arms
I lie content
listening
to my favorite record –
your soft lullaby
serenading me
to sleep
freedom
we chase
in holy mischief
butterflies
on a gentle breeze
giggles and laughter
amid songs of bees
like children
lost in time
spring arrives
dewy flowers blossom
gently nudged
by careless breeze
bursting joy
they seize moments
under the sun
and flutter
in the amorous play
of eternal fate
delighting
in a playful
possibility
profound meeting
the soul lights up
when it comes across
a sincere emotion
the fire in the eyes
the sun in each spark
burns away the shadows
of seeming separation
∸
nights
fermented in tears
slowly made my soul fertile
now I run wild
through blossoming fields
alive in eternal spring
naked truth
what a strange beauty there is
in learning from the opposites
I love freely
because I know how it feels
not to be loved
I appreciate little things
whole heartedly
because I know how it is
to be taken for granted
I try hard to understand
because I know how it feels
to be misunderstood
I am and I am not
yet I persist
I often smile at the sun
I seek light
because I have seen
the darkest of nights
I know what freedom is
because I had been tied down
for too long to a place
I didn’t belong
I long for my home
because I know how agonizing
that separation is
covered in thorns
I delight in soothing
someone’s pain
having drowned in tears
I delight in a smile on a face
yes, you can call me insane
because I know there is nothing
no nothing in staying sane
I know yet I remain a fool
hiding behind words
look how I spill
my heart out
how amazing it is, I wonder
to have learnt from contradictions

cherry blossoms
two butterflies
translating wordless wonder
through vibrant wings of youth
seduced by fragrant company
swamped by ripples of laughter
they suckle on freedom’s joyous nectar
