Standing on a pack of uncertainty <br />he stares at me with a radiant smile <br />he leaves the wind to wander <br />and the tears to dry <br />erasing the stain with fluttering wings <br /> <br />striking hard on my wrinkles <br />he plays hide and seek <br />of my painful longing <br />with a hidden smile <br />flinging my orange wishes to gleam on the waves <br /> <br />sometimes elongated, other times shortened <br />he thrusts the panting of the universe on us <br />we, poor things, swoon and come round for another episode <br />uninvited happenings choking us <br />oversweet or overburdened <br />with intervals of cloudy blessings <br /> <br />we crown him with our solace <br />for anointing us with healing oil <br /> <br />he lingers on orchid and anthurium <br />he does not need a clock <br />for he can vibrate on the petals of dahlia <br /> <br />very eager to wipe off my painted words <br />of passion and promise <br />he explodes into another symphony<br /><br />prasanna kumari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-radiant-smile/
