Poetry

Dithering desire

Madan Shahu
You looked up and I beheld
your eyelids pulled down;
Got message, you will not ever frown If I show intimacy or say
words of affection,
You'd only rear up connection Your heart would release
a virtual peace dove,
If even I dare express love For eyes tell the tale of heart
to the eyes they meet;
To connect minds, not split But when fleeting time leaves
a wide swath across,
It's a distance hard to cross We are on start and end of
a vain world thus,
That none knows better than us Your days are butterflies
nights are stars,
Mine are rains and scars Your time extends beyond
your widened sight,
Mine gets shorter by the night Yet we tend to feel so close
and dear to each other;
Time and distance do not bother Your day has just begun
Warm, clear and bright;
I am already unto the night Well, for once we squeeze out
barriers and embrace,
And feel as if a divine grace Then let all your days be
fragrant flowers
Nights blissful showers
