Happy Holidays

Holidays are refreshing.
Holidays are rejuvenating.
Holidays are cathartic.

My Moon

My moon stands up there in the sky showering its balmy silvery rays.

Dark clouds occasionally envelope it but my moon remains the same – eternal, ethereal, magical and pure!

I Fail

Just like the glowing embers of a fire lit by a lonely Bedouin in the night at a desert, just like the sparkle of countless luminous stars that help navigate a gypsy wandering in the wild, just like the soothing warmth of a bon fire besides a babbling brook in a cold wintery night, just like the blissful laughter of a toddler amazed at the beauty of it’s mother, just like the gentle breeze blowing on a sultry night as the weary traveler gazes the stars above, just like the aroma of the parched earth kissed by the rains, just like the gentle murmur of the river as it meanders its way down from the misty mountains to the thirsty plains, just like the enchanting beauty of the pink azaleas in a humble country home, just like the mesmerizing shimmering moon on the silvery waters of a river even as the boatman hums a song of  love and separation…..………your eyes are all that and more to me!  

I know, I so miserably fail when I try arresting the maddening beauty of your eyes in my words. And for once the failure pleases me!

Rejoicing In My Thraldom

Last night, I dreamt of you and me together....

I saw places that I often conjure up in my mind.....a log cabin, somewhere up there in the misty mountains, a few cirrus clouds wafting by close; so close that you can stretch and caress their gentle softness, the dusk fast approaching even as the birds circle their way back to their roosts - somewhere in the dim distant horizon, a gentle breeze, my ally that she is, buffets a few truant locks on to your face and brings me your maddening fragrance.....I stand mesmerised beside you - blessed and rejoicing in my thraldom....
