Theme: Separation

That Night …

Bewitched I was–
when you
looked at me lovingly
and your enchanting eyes
glowed like earthen lamps
to cast a spell on me,
that night!

Passion of your proximity
set my body on blaze.
when sulking sun sank in dusk
and majestic moon burnt brightly
that night!

Cactus shrubs caressed me
with their thorny tentacles
and love showered petite
pink petals on my path
as I walked barefoot
on the desert sand
that night!

When you left me lonely
for the sake of your new love,
rainbows melted into black soot,
like warm wax.
Sobs from the shadowy skies
showered like acrid tears
when my eyes wept in woe,
that night!

I shall snooze in death’s lap
and wait till my soul sinks
deep in the maelstrom of your memories
when the slipping sands of time
come to a standstill
some night!
