I Leave Behind...

A speckle of stardust
Dancing on the lotus leaf...
And fumes
From an unfinished cup of tea...
An aimless stroll
Through the untold shower...
And a dawn
Under the canopy
Of home-bound planes....
The silent caress
Of the artisan's hand,
While he breathes life
Into mounds of clay...
A burial in the river
Of short-lived dreams...
A night unaccounted for
Whispered in tears....
Guileless confessions
Into endearing ears....
And songs of memories,
That shall ring 
Through the years...
All this,
And a smiling sigh...
I leave behind
In the glimpse of your eyes...

An Unkempt Plea...

Thunderbird!
Do not alight.
You carry in your trail
Unsettled flints,
Which this unforgiven night
Will not put out...
The Earth fumes
At your ephemeral illusion...
My heart perspires
As you open your wings
To this delirium...
Fall at my behest, you!
At least, lend your ear...
For I still stand
Wrought, in my doorway,
Waiting for him 
To return...
