wish I had the time to relish
the moments that hasten by
between break of dawn and sunrise
between sunset and nightfall
and savour the music of joy
that springs out in small measures
when the moon drops silver curtains
when stars blink their merry ways

why do all things beautiful
be so difficult to enjoy?
why do all the simple things
be so difficult to achieve?

after all,
is love not just a simple spark
that lights up dark corridors
of the lovers’ craving souls?

and
if it is indeed that candle
that gives eternal light and warmth
why do bodies then spurn the boon?

and
why O why do I circle back
to the same twisted questions
time after time, yet another time?

yet again?
bleeding my heart for lack of light
or maybe just for lack of height

Sudhir,

This is wonderful both for imagery and intent.. So many lines I like, these for instance:

"When the moon drops silver curtains
When the stars blink their merry ways"

Pure poetry...an enjoyable read.

Hugs, Pat

Sudhir friend,
There are many questions within your introspection. And all strike a universal chord (at least in this particular community).

But, you've stated it as well as any, better than most, and.....gently.

"and
if it is indeed that candle
that gives eternal light and warmth
why do bodies then spurn the boon?"

good Q's that spark the imagination

"is love not just a simple spark
that lights up dark corridors
of the lovers’ craving souls?"

Sudhir~ This is so elegantly written..
I especially liked what you said about
circling back, time after time..

Thank you for fluffing my heart with your gentle words that have touched me so softly.

lovely this is~

this is a wonderful struggle...the time...the effort...the examination...it's only then that change is welcome...how easy it is to sit and watch and reflect, and how tiring that can become...it's time for a change...yes!
