My Better Half Poem by Bose Perumal

My Better Half

Her smile was soothing and pleasing,
Her eyes were searching and gleaming;
Lend me your ear, dear lover, very near,
Soft mellow music flows clear in shear;
Vibrant nerves freaked and wreathed,
Cozy warmth and pleasant mood leaped-
Tapped my heart to open the soft door!
My mind receded in silent track in lore;
Nowhere and everywhere images flashed,
Caught unaware, somewhere and somehow,
Deep below, in my heart my dear endeared
Spasm after spasm of molten heat seared
Erupting into violent streak upward lead
Within a minute; darkness suspended
Melting into mellow soft white delight
I searched and fumbled for my Dear-
Was hazy, haunted, heaving in sighs?
Mead of speckle flashing pure bright
Trickled down from her teasing brow
Flying high, the lofty love, left with a smile. 20
