‘LIKE YOU’ SHE SAID

With only your images roosting

on every branch of my youth’s tree

soaking rain of love from above

my entire body draped in a rainbow

licking the white wings of drenched dove

a drizzle of poems in hands singing

of trickles of tears engulfed by showers

drops from tips of leaves tickling

 the  strings of a heart in soft tremors

I was at your doors-

a bundle of wild shivers

you said ‘I like your rain’

and smiled away

to the far-off horizon where the sky lay

with  its wealth of silver coins and gold of May

your  body sucked into colors of a mellow sun

and  your spirit on a crazy run

in the  opposite direction

love  for you was such a big fun

look how our shadows

in a hollow ecstasy dance on and on

when into an empty oblivion we are gone!!!
