SILENT BANGLES

Your bangles are strangely silent tonight

awaiting  to teach me a new lesson of love,

with a passion to bind but without their clang

with  a love blind but without recurring  pang ;

choked with dreams of a union on bed of stars

on the altar of heaven behind tall temple bars

where years back you promised me salvation

under the lamp of a moon radiant with light ,

from your crescent palms under illumination

offering a divine potion away from Sun’s sight;

bind me, turn me breathless  within your hold

till, to petals of a lotus our body does unfold .
