Luminous Glances Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Luminous Glances
Several rays of sun shining luminously on my face
I close my eyes, with the lustrously radiant glances
I feel the love of the life that I ardently share
How can life with all its spices not be truly fair?
Galloping the horses of thoughts running its wildest race
Yet, I have a dark shade of calmness dwelling over my trance
It is not just the lust of the physical pleasures that make life
It is beyond the boundaries of emotions that run on peace
Adoration arising out of a strong devotion to the silent love
That is not buried underneath the blurred lights of my bed
Lying like the whole world around is gone widely lost and blind
The gaps between the two souls reduce for the air to breathe
Exploring the limits of the skies beyond the cuddling of hearts
Doodling in imagination of the intricately woven happy lives
The fragrances of the flowers from the local tired old vendor
Cycling back to home after the day's not so great a sale
He called him to his side, and asked him what all is in the basket
Took the entire strings of jasmines to tie around my neck
I struggled in a moment of surprise and a moment of ecstasy
I felt like a divine spell of the magic wand bring me fantasy
