The Day.......Stars Were Falling...... Poem by Abhinav Baruah

On a bed rose soft, My love….
Stars were falling in line
The day you were mine…..
I picked up one by one
Arranged, re-arranged
On your velvet skin……
One tiny sparkling star
thawed in your ear
as I whispered melody of your hair…..
Your wine speckled lids were leisurely closing
feeling the soft silken touch
when strong breath of ours
vaporized the dark clouds of your eyes…..
You poured all the red
from your Western sky
over my bare chest….
In the heat of the moment
stars were melting
under the curves of our shadows
shining your undulating terrain….
The clock on the wall stopped
we held the time in our palm
forever and ever…… remained …..
