Alaknanda
Alaknanda arrives at dawn,dew-drops kiss her
tops;her sweet full lips sip deep the
moisture of pre-dawn-redemption songs
Sheeta-scarfed summer breeze play soft,gentle,
play sweet with her long long black,brown hair
blowing in the wind of summer swings
I alone see her tip-toed late in the nights
lovers being wronged,out in the lobby where
moon mourns;I see her silent tears trickle
down silently down her cheeks swiftly that
just been so out of control to the hunger
of pleasure and passion;I wonder what went
wrong?was it her,or was it me?she wouldn`t
let me touch her,and I wouldn`t retreat!
Unicorn unicorn rides;Phoenix to phoenix rise
clouds die to give rise to rain,lives,sun
shine;alaknanda;I`m sorry if it was I who
caused you misery that night;I thought I
believed you shared untying of the snake
You became Aphrodite,I became who I am!
