You are applying a vermilion dot <br /> <br />On the forehead of the sky; <br /> <br />Fading out in the dusk <br /> <br />My golden evening, of a magnificent hue! <br /> <br />Subdued in its grandeur, of sweetness. <br /> <br />On the flowery bed, when I slept, fondled <br /> <br />And enchanted by randy dreams, <br /> <br />You leaned and touched your <br /> <br />Finger tips, caressing my forehead, <br /> <br />While the Venus, was shimmering in the eastern sky. <br /> <br /> <br />Some where a soft prelude, sprang from a flute, <br /> <br />And the whimpering mist, in a desolate hour, <br /> <br />An ache, showering in the moon light of your being, <br /> <br />A chilly lullaby, bringing ripples of tiny memories; <br /> <br />And soft breeze from the meadows seeking <br /> <br />Tranquility, in the distressed mind. <br /> <br /> <br />For the silence which swooned somewhere, <br /> <br />Turned into a pulsating note in the air; <br /> <br />Lightning up again the wick of a lamp, <br /> <br />Where little fuel, is left to enliven. <br /> <br />I whisper to you, as the blessing earned <br /> <br />Through umpteen rebirths, <br /> <br />Each of my sealed secrets, in my life. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The purest lotus left in the pond in Paradise! <br /> <br />Could you lend me, a bouquet of dreams <br /> <br />With ravishing petals? <br /> <br />Is your silence, a caress of the tremulous love, <br /> <br />You behold in your soul for me? And <br /> <br />The Calm after the storm?<br /><br />kunjubi varghese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-calm-after-a-storm/
