Sigh

One sigh from the corner

Of your eye

 At the fall of brow

Though slow ,

Is potent enough to break

An entire civilization,

And the Konark of my imagination--

That crumbles into slabs of loneliness

On dried grass of Summer

Away from the joys of waves

In sea of your eyes’ morning glitter

Where birds of my love flutter

With their endless chatter!

Was this a sigh of

Your inadvertent response

To the shadow of my evening

Or a reaction to my new birth in the offing ?—

I don’t know,

But I find myself poised now

Into an eternal wait,

For these occasional sighs

In fall of eyes

Thro’ my love to awake soon

To land of our new boon;

Not to forebode doom

But to transform them into new songs

of Love  in vernal bloom.
