The weight of a flower
Doesn't cast a burden
The colors of a rainbow
Can't be too bright
The drifting shadow
Of a cloud doesn't steal light
And the pain of the heart
Cannot hobble love's flight

The absent moon shall shine
Through a million stars!

I took you in
Bit by bit
Drop by drop
Breath by breath
Not knowing where
You scattered and settled
Within me.

But now I create you
Whenever I want.
As I graze this
Eternal lazy afternoon,
I make you
With slow settling leaves
Or blowing and merging
Of drifting clouds
watching you being made
And rhythmically fade
Revealing the same sky
In newer and deeper sighs! 

Clouds have given in
To an unspoken longing

And the wind stands still
With it's breath stolen

As the steady drops
Now roll off the leaves
in trembling silence

Every single patter
Raises thrills
of an unknown joy

I watch through the window
Like a bird with wet feathers
Perched with closed eyes

Ambushed by the beating
Of a heart
that I still can't recognize
As mine.

Currents merging and breaking
Ripples appearing and disappearing
Fallen leaves and loosened stalks
Drowning and surfacing..

Into this magic
That bends light
and slows time!

My eyes can touch
my hands can see
And my ears dive deep
Into a cloud of silence
Floating high above the stream
Holding the dragon flies
In their incessant buzz
And the dance of light!

Make way!

Make way
for mountains of wind
and storms
of maddening fragrance
raising mind breaking
desires, unlocking
relentless floods of tears,
leaving behind
oceans
of all consuming silence!

All this
any moment
before or after
the shedding
of a random leaf
or locking
and unlocking
of an unsure gaze!

Night

The night that loved me
Through tender sleeplessness
Lies awake even now
In broad daylight
Where your secret heart moves
In and out of my sight.

I have wondered endlessly
Of what is that slips
In and out,
while the light beams
fall out
off a gushing stream
like tears drops,
dropping from the edge
of an irresistible laughter!

What is it that peeps
its head
In moments that pause
Of their own accord
And disappear
Like a bird flashing
Only it's tail
As it does its vanishing act

My heart barely beats,
Now struck with wonder
Trying to catch
A few color drops out of
A fast disappearing rainbow!
