In Praise Of My Beloved… Poem by Bharat Trivedi

Oh my beloved!
Pink lilies bloom in abundance
where your dainty feet carelessly tread.
The magic of our love drifts in the air
intoxicating the buzzing bees
to kiss unabashedly
the fragrant lips of wild roses,

The mirror of the pristine pond
fondly holds shining reflections of our togetherness,
The mother-white pearl of love gleams
from the oyster of your smile.
Your dimpled cheeks are to me
the twin whirlpools of laughter.
Monsoon clouds of your dark damp tresses
hang over your bare shoulders,
In you glowing gaze I see
a thousand lamps alit in the temple of our love!
Your wet lips gleam in ecstasy
with the lightning of our stolen kisses!
Mint flavour of your mouth
still lingers in my breath.
Bewitched by your beauty
the porcelain moon turns pale
sighing with envy,
and your pretty face flows into
my poetic dream.
Oh my beloved!
