An evocative and enchanting poem of love and loss that leaves behind a sense of disquiet of nature, by Devika, for Different Truths.
You stood up Shook the ends Dusted earth Twigs n fronds Liberated...!! Felt your breath Lime blossom bloom Sun kissed valley Eager to please Sigh...!! Embrace me one sweep, a glance Crimson you dance Over the valley Respite...!! Awaiting your return Dusk to dawn Sitting by the pond Ripples alight Contrite...!! Bells they tinkle Anklets nimble foot Splintered rays Dancing courtyard's facade Frown...!! What wells up Is desire Kohl trickles black Heart bespoke what eyes hide. Virtue...!! Croons crested canary Caged comforts Wishful flights Rendezvous awaited of what Might...!! I’ll wait for you all my life Says Basil to twilight Cause it's when Remain I crushed Fragrant underneath your step Astride...!! Molten gaze He gazes at Venus Engulfed star-shine fluorescent fireflies falter Night owl calls - you are not mine Disquiet...!!
