My tent, <br />she stood like <br />a mountain peak: <br />an embodiment of <br />human pride! <br />Poor sandstorms <br />hated her always <br />as they couldn't hurt! <br />Axis of earth was her <br />central pillar! <br />Lovely clouds- <br />multi-coloured - <br />were tarpaulins! <br />While dwelling <br />peacefully there, <br />my eyes picked up <br />the weariness in your eyes... <br />You: a lone camel, <br />scorched by out broken <br />sandstorms... <br />The agony in you eyes: <br />an auger worm which <br />pierced my heart, <br />bruised my soul! <br />As I had fallen for <br />your outpourings, <br />first your silent head <br />entered in. <br />Then the same Arab's tale! <br />My turban flew in tempest, <br />sand on eyes, ears and lungs... <br />Hot touch of molten sand blisters! <br />When carried away in a heat wave, <br />just one moment our eyes met! <br />O It was you: an intruder <br />I never expected, <br />a tenant never intend to vacate! <br />Now I wander like a gypsy, <br />don't know how to <br />squander life or end it! <br />Pity! <br /> <br />07.07.98<br /><br />premji premji<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/048-love/
