Poetry. . . from SANGITA AHMED
Rain
Dusky skies make sweet love
To the parched brown earth
Showering her being
With tender moist kisses
Each leaf, each bud
Is soft with warm desire
She sighs for the rain
Never to end
As the luscious drops
Caress with slow deliberation
And the winds scream
The earth trembles
As the heat rises
From the earths core
When the lightning dies
Quiet descends
The warm soaked earth
Is radiant
With the musky scent
Of satiated love. -------------------------------------------------
Or the unseen desirable?
Does the tongue taste
The apple so sweet?
Or does the eye
Perceive sweeter?
Was the Sin
So blissful?
Or the temptation stronger?
I will never know
Till the day we meet
Till the moment of wonder
When our eyes meet once more
Till the warmth of your breath
Till the sinews of your arms
Till the span of your breast
Till the melting of your tongue
Till the end of time
I shall yearn I shall dream
Of you, me and Heaven
To the parched brown earth
Showering her being
With tender moist kisses
Each leaf, each bud
Is soft with warm desire
She sighs for the rain
Never to end
As the luscious drops
Caress with slow deliberation
And the winds scream
The earth trembles
As the heat rises
From the earths core
When the lightning dies
Quiet descends
The warm soaked earth
Is radiant
With the musky scent
Of satiated love. -------------------------------------------------
Promise of Heaven
Is the coveted so elusive?Or the unseen desirable?
Does the tongue taste
The apple so sweet?
Or does the eye
Perceive sweeter?
Was the Sin
So blissful?
Or the temptation stronger?
I will never know
Till the day we meet
Till the moment of wonder
When our eyes meet once more
Till the warmth of your breath
Till the sinews of your arms
Till the span of your breast
Till the melting of your tongue
Till the end of time
I shall yearn I shall dream
Of you, me and Heaven
