Seema Aarella Poems

I, plead the wind
To describe your touch,
Beg the night,
To reveal your dreams,
...

For the first time in many days
I decided to bestow myself a gift
Of long and lonely stroll in the
Neighbouring park
...

Love like dew embellished some orchards
For some a snowy carpet it made
His currents of love rushed seawards
On my palms like rain drops it played
...

My eyelids flapped like
The wings of a frightened bird
At the sudden intrusion of
The long forgotten past,
...

In the dim soothing ambience
Of the restaurant, you sat
Across fervently studying
The catalog of my eyes,
...

I know you as
The winter’s mist
That creeps into my coverlet,
Tenderly shivering my skin,
...

A bookmark of memory
Guides me again and again
To the same chapter, that reads
Not more than a single word
...

Do not allow me
To sleep for so long
That my untamed dreams
Outnumber the stars.
...

And...
the wingless bird
pleads
the sky
...

It hurt me with the pain of
Thousand bee stings, your
Plain thought soaked in the
Jasmine mist of my garden
...
