IN LOVE AGAIN !

OUT of the Night’s  dumb, dark womb

to a fine, new dawn was I slowly born,

fed with milk of dew on sunny grass

I lay on Love’s new, green wet  lawn--

in new dawn after first love had gone;

when my charmed body was touched

by magic of rays from a beaming Sun--

with thousand colors of rainbow basking

my mimosa body in drops of cosmic fun !

Wind started scribbling new verses

on shiny pages of my  healing mind to soothe--

an agonized soul, crushed to ooze and roll

like a jasmine under the Night’s heavy sole.

Soon there came some stars rushing in

to relish love drizzling from the sky’s brim

tucked to a  wounded heart in wake of a turn

with only a single desire for the soul to burn ;

where rustles of leaves sang songs of joy

sands  kissed my face with a lover’s ploy ;

dust smeared my soul with musk of wood sandal

quenching parched throat with dew’s wherewithal

and I rose back to live again a life of my new love

with showers of mystical delight from the above;

telling me to go back to threshold of that old door

with my windows open to light from heaven’s floor

for, after all I live on the bank of blood’s stream

with ever renewing cells of flesh in warm dream.
