The
evening throbs as if a surge
Of unspoken feelings on their verge
The satin night crawls far & wide
Melting everything hitherto in sight
The bamboo vines whispering lullabies
In chorus, sound like gentle seas
Mortal forms vanishing into nothing
Their footsteps & signs sans lingering
Of unspoken feelings on their verge
The satin night crawls far & wide
Melting everything hitherto in sight
The bamboo vines whispering lullabies
In chorus, sound like gentle seas
Mortal forms vanishing into nothing
Their footsteps & signs sans lingering
As I toss & turn
on the cot
My head chases a single thought
Born of the faceless jingle
That do their job & hastily mingle
My sleepless eyes stumble upon
The starry pond where fireflies spawn
The million glints from their burning
Provoking an unearthly craving
Crew of crickets join for a supper choir
Their tunes tearing from beneath every layer
Melodious than the greatest known tune
Into every note rhapsody strewn
My head chases a single thought
Born of the faceless jingle
That do their job & hastily mingle
My sleepless eyes stumble upon
The starry pond where fireflies spawn
The million glints from their burning
Provoking an unearthly craving
Crew of crickets join for a supper choir
Their tunes tearing from beneath every layer
Melodious than the greatest known tune
Into every note rhapsody strewn
The tender breeze rising from the banks
Of the distant river breaking ranks
Reassuring my sand ridden hair
Infusing a delight so delicate & rare
I'm captive of a
perfumed whiff
Born of some mystic leaf
The many hued flora kneading
Charismatic musk seething
I forget I was born in the lights
I forget all the pointless fights
I forget every mirage to which I clung
I forget my need of a city, far flung
I move over the worthless addictions
I find refuge from haunting afflictions
I sense strain forsake my nerve
I feel the return of humane verve
Born of some mystic leaf
The many hued flora kneading
Charismatic musk seething
I forget I was born in the lights
I forget all the pointless fights
I forget every mirage to which I clung
I forget my need of a city, far flung
I move over the worthless addictions
I find refuge from haunting afflictions
I sense strain forsake my nerve
I feel the return of humane verve
I sleep on my back
Looking at the soulful dark
Watching countless questions at sight
That I dodged in the bright
Then, like the ardour of lovers,
Like the embrace of mothers,
Like the ageless sage,
Begins to etch in heart, my village
Looking at the soulful dark
Watching countless questions at sight
That I dodged in the bright
Then, like the ardour of lovers,
Like the embrace of mothers,
Like the ageless sage,
Begins to etch in heart, my village
