Momentary Bliss <br /> <br /> why do you stare at me <br /> what you look for in my eyes <br /> is it your shadow <br /> it disappears like bubbles in water <br /> like dew drops on the grass <br /> with the advent of the sun –shine <br /> it is so fragile so short-lived <br /> <br /> are you looking for the trust <br /> you reposed in me <br /> it is so relative it changes hands <br /> with shifting of positions <br /> betrayal of trust is the history of mankind <br /> why do you look for such intangibles <br /> <br /> are you looking for love <br /> once upon a time it was eternal <br /> even love has become a commodity <br /> in the modern days <br /> it is available at a price <br /> anywhere in the world <br /> <br /> neither you can assure me of love <br /> nor do I my love forget it <br /> don’t search for anything <br /> <br /> let this moment be eternal <br /> when you look into my eyes <br /> wide open so close <br /> I can touch your face <br /> I can see the new pimples <br /> on your cheek and feel like <br /> planting a kiss on your lips <br /> but I refrain I desist <br /> not to shatter this imagery of <br /> Draupadi looking at the eyes of Arjuna <br /> the earth meeting the sun <br /> dusk welcoming the day <br /> let this momentary bliss <br /> linger on in our mind forever <br /> <br /> Rajkumar- Mumbai<br /><br />Rajkumar Mukherjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/momentary-bliss/
