Moments of Thrill

by Dr. Kumarendra Mallick

Sitting on the shores
and counting the surging waves
or playing with the shells
floating back and forth,
can anyone feel the thrills of the high sea
or discover the pearls in deep sea?

Never…

Sitting at the foothills
and counting the eagles those fly high
or digging the sand grains
coming down the high peaks,
can anyone feel the thrill
of standing on the hilltop
to survey all around –
the valleys, the brooks and the thickets?

Never…

Bridging your lips with my index finger
and feeling the soft eye lashes of yours,
can I ever ride the waves
that create storms in your heart
or hear the whispers of love
that forever weave music in your soul?

Never…

I must find a way,
the secret mountain pass,
to steal into your heart
and break open the oyster
the shining pearl to discover…

Yes, Rupradha, it is thrilling to discover a heart. And it must be an thrilling experience for you to be discovered, too. Thank you for liking the verse, specially the concluding one.
