PLEASURE

Some unfulfilled pleasures peep from the corners
Of a yellowing mind with their uneasy stirs;

As the night wind kisses the insomniac moon 
Arousing her to hug dark clouds of nocturnal love
And drop a few pearls of rain to the hungry Earth
Promising many a new birth,
Feeding your image with nectar of hunger
Drops in my eyes draped in rainbow of your desire
Also fall ;

To create that symphony of union
Of memory with mire
Of love with desire
Of rain with pain
of sound with silence
of twitters with flutters
of dives with buoyancy
and my desiring love with your ever widening fancy.
