Shalom, shalom, my beloved <br />For your eyes only <br />Did I not traverse this far… <br />Crossing the mirage towards oasis <br />Through cobbled dark blithering dreary alleys <br />But with the scent of the jasmine in your love <br />I could fight with coup de grace, all those omnivorous sorrows <br />Sweep away those cobwebs of onerous burdens <br />And now be able to wipe the dews <br />On the rose of my cheek <br /> <br />Shalom, shalom, my beloved <br />For your eyes only <br />See what I will do……. <br />Among the chenille petals in the pimpernel of your love <br />Let me add my own among them <br />So that when you caress the chervil bouquet <br />The chartreuse will break the silence <br />And then my heart will be one with your estoteric fragrance <br /> <br />Shalom, shalom, my beloved <br />For your eyes only <br />This is what I wish……. <br />In the cosmogony of the numberless stars <br />I wannabe that lantern of ethereal light <br />The dazzling one among the brightest <br />So that, in the dance of the festival of lights <br />My heart will swing with enrapturous delight <br />And my life will be one, with your panoramic smile. <br /> <br />Anjali <br />07-03-2010<br /><br />ANJALI SINHA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-your-eyes-only-6/
