MOMENT~by Saroj K Padhi

 

 

MOMENT

It’s ages since I kissed
the bud of your early spring
in the blissful dawn of our youth,
when time stood still like the nearby hill
under patches of floating clouds,
with glosses from a crimson sun on their lips;
and the breeze of your breath blew
like a refreshing storm
in the landscape of my haloed mind
planting seeds of a wild love
in my dazed being;
I’ve stopped growing since then
though my years like pebbles keep rolling
on the unseen floor of a sea
of love lost always singing
and your voice oft’ ringing
in the tides of memory returning
behind which your image keeps surfing;
since the river of our desire
jumped to death in the mouth of the sea
there have been waves surging
to match our passion and the furore
in its constant roar
the joy of union recreating !
