! ...Shadows (Part 3)

Rating: 3.7


In the dim soothing ambience
Of the restaurant, you sat
Across fervently studying
The catalog of my eyes,
Searching for that glint
Of emotion called ‘love’…

As I sipped the tempting soup
Satisfied with objective pleasure
Descending down my throat,
You invaded the primordial mounds
Of long buried emotions
In the sorrowing pyramid of my heart

Like an obsessed explorer
Opened the sarcophagus
And breathed life into the
Mortal remains of mummified ardor
I noticed the haze dissolving,
And felt my innards stir.

You ceremoniously took me
Into the white marbled edifice
Exclusively built in your heart
The penumbra inside me
Merged with the extensive shadow
Of the everlasting monument of love…!

Seema! Your poems are very passionate, sometimes flowing like a small rivulet smoothly, sometimes gushing with fierce sentimets and descriptions. Your shadow series is too good; reminds me the 'affair de coer' series by Indira Babbellapati.........But don't go with too many sequels....it may become stale...................................10

Hmmm... After reading two parts in a row now comes the third one... It seems you are growing fast in the art of poetry, lovely and now spirituality... A maturing one... Keep growing as there is no end to progress in the domains of love, mindfulness and truth...

Seema, You have now become a specialist in writing this type of modern poetry! I enjoyed reading it! I too wish you a very happy Dewali! In fact I have also wised all my readers the same today at the end of my poem, - 'Plato's Cave Allegory', which you may like to read! - Raj Nandy
