Tribhuvan Mendiratta (22 May 1959 / Sirsa)

Let me cup my palms
to gather the petals
of your laughter
that my palms flow ever
with your laughter…

Let me fill my heart
with ripples of
your laughter
that the heart gathers
the floating petals
to smear colors on my cheeks

Absorbing the perfume of
your laughter
Let me offer my
perfumed being
back to you
just for once …
