In the cherry blossoms of your cheeks
And the irridescent smiles of your lips
Live the glowing embers of my pining heart
And also the secret of beauty and happiness!
******************************
Lit with delicate, romantic dreaming desires
And full of morning dew and evening mist
Dark orbs of beauty, so large and deep
Your beautiful eyes, my love, are not designed to weep!
******************
Who am I? A bird that perches
On your balcony by daily habit
Feeding on strewn sentences
Of kind, though disenchanted joy
That you find in my company
And your occasional happiness
On hearing me merrily chirp
Or happily flutter my wings
Momentary togetherness in time
That my flights of fancy cherish
Through my days spend in yearning
For the next sunset and morning
When I return to your home
Ah! I am no pet of yours
And yet I am not wild or free
A persistant visiting dreamer
In love with uncertainity!
***********************************
Glow my dear candle,
Give me sight and sense,
My fear and darkness vanishes
In your glowing presence!
Burning with yellow flame
Stand firm till tomorrow comes
My messiah with your sacrifices
Our life brighter becomes!

Vivek,
Lovely poems..
"are not designed to weep!"--?? :P
cheers
rashmi
lovely! esp this one:
Lit with delicate, romantic dreaming desires
And full of morning dew and evening mist
Dark orbs of beauty, so large and deep
Your beautiful eyes, my love, are not designed to weep!
but somehow i read " are not designed to weep as "are not destined to weep" at first glance!!
liked the next one abt the daily visitor- who is it? Your muse?
keep stringing these words of verse...
the pleasure is immense!
