She & Other Poems

Paradise

Here I am... catching the naked beauty of nature

Through my bedazzled eyes.

"Oh! She is really beautiful!" my eyes appreciate, yet I sigh.

Huh! I am in paradise without my beloved friends.

I stand on the sea shore looking at the horizon &

The erotic waves try to grab her sandy hands.

Ah! She escapes with a teasing smile & challenging look.

Now, they are dancing on the mighty rocks wildly.

Wow! The lovesick sun is kissing her bonny body &

She is soaking herself very passionately.

"Oh! How romantic!" words emerge from my heart

But die upon my dried tongue.

Huh! I am in paradise without my beloved friends.

Now I see the day turning into night &

I find myself shining under the soothing moonlight.

There in the sky, countless fairies are flying very gladly.

Ah! The beauteous nymphs & tempting yakshas are here.

They are singing & dancing merrily around the fountain of mirth.

"Hurrah!" my soul cheers but my face fails to express that.

Huh! I am in paradise without my beloved friends.

Now, I try to recall those unforgettable moments spent with them.

The lust for paradise seizes my struggling mind &

Blinds my already bedazzled eyes.

Still I am in paradise without my beloved friends.
