A passionate account of a poet’s quest to find the lady-love of her dreams.
at the sight of its intricately marked petals that looked like a fruit
Dawn.
The sky,
streaked with pink
& she, by the pool
on the steps
with her handmaidens;
face streaked with tears.
He passed by, unobserved.
Lifetimes spent in searching
searching for that face
never seen again
or seen only in dreams,
till one day he saw a flower;
felt it was alive
Love spilled out
from the core of his being
at the sight
of its intricately marked petals that looked like a fruit
& those love-inducing tears…
In that magic spell
he lived, beneath that tree
waiting for wind or rain
to shower it down on him,
to bring him love’s blessings…
