Chiaroscuro
Longing loneliness
Remember her chiaroscuro-carved face
I try,I try in vain to retrace the anthers
the pollen,the petals of prem and pain!
But she`s fading,she`s receding to the
unknown,far-flung faraway fathomless frames
where the formations of hope and oblivions
sleep in bubbly bed
I did never fake or feign;my love for you was
really real;I left my floatsam,jetsam in your
Oceans-where my love ships forever lay anchor
Longing loneliness;chiaroscuro carves your
face;you look like a diva of beauty countless
O I can spend time forever merely gazing
experimenting you in depthness-drunk lights
shades;you come closer sticking out your
peaks of desire
You ring the temple bells taking me in
I sink,I sink in your love sink.
