Elixir Vitae Of The Maniac In Love Inside of Me

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

My beloved,
I wonder,
When I see you,
Why does my face looks,
Like an emoticon with a raised brow?
My heart feels the thumping,
As if the Cupid's sitting there,
And has just shot its arrow!
I feel like I am the stage,
For Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet,
Or the Tempest,
Or Cymbeline,
Where it's just love,
In full bloom!
I look like an emoticon,
With hearts in the eyes!
Oh Cure me will you my dearest?
Can we be together for twenty five hours,
Instead of twenty four hours a day!
Oh now you see,
What you've done to me!
Let me close my eyes,
Give myself some rest,
But,
But there you are!
And I dream the enactment,
Of the poems of amour,
Dickinson's 'Wild Nights',
Wilde's 'We are made one with what we touch and see',
Or Keats' 'Bright Star',
I am sure you know by now,
What a maniac in love,
You have turned me into,
Oh please note,
You only,
Are the elixir vitae,
Cure me!

The Path Of Struggles

 © Shilpa Sandesh, Tramping through the woods that be, The path I stride on, Diverges ahead of me; A loud voice I hear, The first lane proclaimed, 'Come, saunter forth, I am the trail, Of happiness you dream' Louder promulgates the other byway, 'Come, tread onto me, I am the course of struggles, that He has set, in your destiny' I stood aghast, In a dilemma that be, Whether to relinquish And quit, Or to traipse on, And take my chances! My heart yelled, For a facile gaiety, Mind howled, 'Exultation lacking struggle, without any scrambles or stumbles, is ephemeral, it's cursory and fugitive' And so there was, no more predicament, No more muddling, And I chose to walk, On the path of struggles!

When the Stars Drizzle

Image
The stars drizzled last night, Moments before the approaching twilight, And I saw a magnific aura, sheathe me with a divine euphoria, That traverse in the amaranthine galaxies, felt like a dip in sparkling sapphires and rubies, And then came a distant soothing whisper, like the sound of a far impending river, My hand lifted and was held by someone's, But my eyes could see none, Only when my soul was caressed by the chants, I discerned that it was my rumination's grant, It was you, my beloved seer, In the night's mist, I felt you near, Farther from all that is temporal and worldly, Deep into the spiritual and otherworldly.....................

© Shilpa Sandesh In the stillness Of the summer noon, A shrill startles these ears. The pain pierces through, Like a sword; The eyes are blurred with tears, Can the cry of a heart, Be so loud, she wonders! Then from nowhere,comes suddenly A faint ray of hope, Crystal clear droplets of happiness, And she opens her arms, To embrace the joy of love. She feels alive and smiles. And then comes a blow, The blow of reality, That scatters everything; She gathers the broken pieces, And puts them together, Only to find, Memories full of cracks, What's lost can never be regained, And pain becomes her new joys.
