Poems Of Distress

My Soulmate, An Ethereal Blessing

You're the reason
I see the sun every Morning, symbol of your warm bright presence in my life.
Moon at night , beauty with perfect imperfections, no inhibitions.

Scenery of this orange sky, trees hugging eachother
Kids running by,
sun saying it's goodbye.

Fresh and old flowers littered all along this ceremic stone path...
With you by my side feels like a movie, living canvas of art,
I'm walking on and with
For this peace to never abandon us.

Every evening, your glory blinds me in its charm ,
as the birds chirping gradually come near us ,
sitting together on the genial branch of Gulmohar tree.

My eyes closed,
mind in a mystical tranquil world,
spiritual joy along with these birds and bystanders who stop by Keeping their work aside, entranced by your divine melody as you play the sitar.
By heart and sincerity,
sitting on the temple's steps.

Your deep voice soothing to ears
This form of you simply playing the instrument with such passion
sitting with one of your elegant legs above the other .

Is so liberating, utterly loving, strangly indescribably comforting
As if God himself is in front of me
Reason of hundreds of smiles each day.

As your feet kiss the ground
Wherever you walk, very vivacious
Humming an entrancing melody.
Sun , the brightest, best jewellery,
You wear everyday, casted in a range of beauty-shades
of dawn till dusk.

Each day, submerged in an exceptional Beam bask.
Makes you look like
a diva in its glory.

I won't let this evening slip by,
Never let this moment ebb away, oh it's only a wish cause nothing lasts forever.

Your smile, happiness on your face
Is such a blessing to my eyes,
Drunk in your state of contentment.

Lashes too long for any human-form , a guardian angel,
Resting on those cool flushed cheeks.
Felt each movement of them uplifting as if nilgiri was forming underneath my palms itself,
as your vision glimmers , shiny turquoise of love and delight.

Fingers Intertwined together as we walk through the way ,
this world seems
Unbelievably gorgeous and romantic.

That neem tree extending it's arm holding a Bouquet of remedies,
And that little adorable plant,
Grown on the roadside
standing straight and proud,
with Fierce thorns ,
seems so cute welcoming us ahead.

Your unique figure layered in a chikankari white kurta ,
Shiny yet simple, just like you.
Silver kundals adorning your
Soft lobes, that peacock carved out on your golden kada
whose beauty enhances everyday
Being in your delicate caramel wrist.
The thin black thread with a jade ,
Bejeweles your left ankle, oh how I adore these honey lotus feet.

I feel so blessed, to know you,
To be able to love you ,
And loved by you
From afar and intimately.
Makes me feel every part of myself
Living, high on clouds , overjoyed and so unhealthily giddy
Till my facial muscles scold me to let them rest.
