|| language of love ||

at the beginning of

the century i place

my luscious lips

for words of love

with the cordiality of love

i will create a language

for a heartfelt dialogue

with the heart

alive to emotions

succulent, credible

so men of this earth

would know to love

their earthy women

who create the world

and men.

at the beginning of the century

i select love

for the span of the century

love can save - time

and in saving time

the century

love knows

to safeguard from the whims

of history time

and the historic inscription

on the heart of those

who love time.

for this century

we will create

a script

to unveil the language of love

as the script of touch

manifests the language of love

the unspoken intimacy of sweetness.

|| i chose you ||

to write together that

short and sweet word

love

on the sea-shore

i chose you

as one choses

a virginal sheet of paper

new dreams chose you

to put the moonlight

of the full moon

in the eyes of your heart

to place in your palm
the melting warmth of love

the glowing elixir of my palm

i have chosen you

for your are

the companion of my soul.

|| shadow ||

in the sun's shadow

is the sun

in the reflection

of light is light

in it's heat

the sun

multiplies its thirst

and bathing in the river

drinks it

the river

gathers within its soul

the sun

and lives

the divine body of light

to ease the agony

of the earth

the river becomes

one with the earth

as i become

one with you.

|| dream seed ||

in anticipation i

sow dream seeds

amidst contrary winds

i capture gossamer

silk cotton flocks

in my fist

tears washed

the doorstep of the heart

with words lips

painted alpana

and my heartbeat

sings new songs

to the beat of anticipation

anticipation is alive

with the soft footfall of arrival

the shadow of steps

the evocative call of palms

in the niche of eyes

pours the light of

the coming of the beloved

and a sun world glows

in the hush of anticipation

flashes the echo of arrival

intimate waves float

in the vacuum

an eternal world

begins to settle within me

steady as stars your

eyes watch the earth

of my eye celebrate seasons

of rainbow emotions

quiet, my eyes watch

the heavenly luminance

the constant orbit

of your love.

|| know you ||

the flower knows its scent

water knows its own taste

the earth knows

to drink water

and water knows

to seep into the earth.

the flower knows

its fruit, its seed

the winds know

the monsoon clouds

as clouds know

the thirst of the earth

words know their meaning

seasons know their

flowers, fruit, crops

rain knows its insects

i know you.

tendrils know the desire of the root

seeds sense the scent of seasons

the earth knows the eagerness of the seed

as the soul knows the desire of the body

the body knows the comfort of the soul

i know you.
