Love Speaks

Love peeps from the door left ajar,

silver lining it seems for a life gone sore,

nudge off the cliff of despair

to a blanket of hope slather by men,

like a feel of Grishneshwar temple drop.

 

Love dances like the rain,

on corrugated sheets of desires,

chattering her way to delight,

bringing a brittle and adrift heart to safety,

a piece of peace she once smeared.

 

Love speaks in ancient tongues –

lama sabachthani – why have you forsake me,

cradled in the rumbled beats of expectations,

preyed by my deferential delusions,

ruffled by salient silence.

And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods make heaven drowsy with the harmony.  (William Shakespeare)
