The Falling Maples- Living Unconditionally- Poetry by S.S

(c) Shilpa Sandesh When you stand in front of the mirror, Your image you won't see, As it would be none, But a reflection of me, And a proof it would be, That yours I am, I am yours, Those bounds no one can invade, Inside those bounds reside, Our souls, yours and mine, Forever and till eternity.... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Your words are like the arrows, Arrows of raptures of love, Overflowing with blissful zeal, Like a sudden burst of a volcano, A volcano of the white and pure, Ashes of yearning, And with your expressions, You win me every time, You've won me again........ 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh It's beautiful, To fall in love with you, Every passing moment, To let the urges be on fire, To let the heart play it's own songs, The songs of longing, It's beautiful, To have found you, To have discovered the rarest gem, To have unsheathed the secret de amor, It's beautiful, To pen not pain Not sorrows, Not miseries, But love and yearning, Every passing day, It's beautiful, Our love, our togetherness, That's one of its kind, It's beautiful........ 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Prophesies penned  since a thousand decades, That the Blood Moon would bring, Cataclysm and alluvion, Why? I know not, neither do my heart, Wishes to know! Because, For me, this beauteous astral luminescence, The magnificent red, Glowing like a million red roses, Sprinkled with glitters and gleam, Is a message from him, Written with the ink of his soul, "I adore you my Dear one, I felt your tears in my eyes, My heart ached with your heart in stings, Weep no more, your pain isn't yours alone, Let me walk along" And I scribble my words on the beautiful Blood Moon, "I miss you most today, Come hither, hold my hand, Let me forget my piqued heart, In the warmth of your embrace"........

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Perspiring and breathless, Sniffing the humid sea breeze, We jog, we talk, we laugh over sweet nothings, I put my earphones on For that latest song As you snatch it from me With raised eyebrows, My irritation evident You plant a kiss on my lips, And there goes the agitation, Lost in the sea gust; I run and run, And realise I had been running alone, And then a sudden gush of air Storm the inside of me My beloved I love you for sending Your kisses filled with your fragrance As they find me running solitary Across the oceans and the seas......... 

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Walking solitary, On the dank coastal sand, I observe a pair of footsteps, That accompany mine, And so I realize, To be physically together in love, Is necessary, But it is not everything, Because when the love is true, Deep and profound, Lovers hold hands without being together, Lovers kiss each other, without being together, Lovers feel each others presence, without being together, Just like, I am there besides you, While you drive your car, Humming our favorite song, And You are with me, here, Walking on the wet beach sand, Without being with me, Without us being together.......

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Mi amor I am the wall That stands midst Hurdles and you, I am those chants Which would absorb All your pain And give you Those immortal smiles, My life Oh love, Has meaning Since you happened to me Amongst all situations of our being Let our love forever be....
