Under the Joshua..

Seeds from sieves
  Of a pensive mind
Holds each a
  Joshua tree

One by one it
  Grows to bloom
Smell of which would
  Fill 'tis sanctuary soon

Alongside, in its shade,
  I see her perch, upon
Some blossoms that’s withered,
  Wide and spread

Adorned not in lavish taste
  But in pristine pure,
Milky white
  Gossamer lace

And there she waits
  With a little grin
In an unruffled posture
  Supporting, her chin

Answers, for many
  Only she could give
To ward off, many of
  My begotten grieves

Scathed by glow
  I trod along the swath to reach
That Joshua, emblazoned,
  Amidst others at night

Reaching her, with
  Shadows falling behind
Bourbon eyes, succulent lips and with what not
  she continues to allure this mind

Eons may have passed
  In this gap or so I feel
Cursing the proximity between
  longing to get close

Some sound of petals crack
  Or so she spake..
Her lips, her eyes and even
  Things around her spoke..

Staring at misted lotus feet
  On my knees, feeling
Shackles of silence around
  Diligently break free..

Ahhh, such is
  Emancipation, I need
Such is dream I long
  Could be real

Well.. the sun is back
  Where it started
And myself,where I lay,
  under this tree..


Rambling inspired by an 'image' from a friend's blog....

Sophia Thanks, know what we don need words, we jus need to be inspired and I found mine for this post.. Jus like the eyes image I saw in ur album

Demi *humbled*

Vidya said...

This is exquisitely sensuous, man! I can see in this poem a "direct sensuous apprehension of thought".

I know you haven't struggled to find words here. The image was there in the mind and it naturally dictated poetry... Good!

And I can also see how the feminine form holds a greater appeal for you; from what you had told me earlier...

I liked the last four lines for its reluctance to stop. I know you would have wished to be under the tree forever, suffering the tender longings that it aroused...Rite?

I like the entire pome, but the first two verses are exquisite.

Am so glad I read this! :)

With a little grin
In an unruffled posture
Supporting, her chin"

Except for the word 'unruffled' nothing jarred here! And I agree with Blue. The first two stanzas are exquisite. :-)

Cheers
