I am
flirting
with the wind
that moves the waters
restless and calm
with the breeze
that sways my feelings
right and wrong
with the light
that glows in the distance
with darkness
that leaves a footprint
with waves
that crash
before they reach
the shore
with mud
that cakes my feet
with leaves
that come down sailing
yellow green orange
with the smell of petals
in wet earth
with thoughts
that charm
my confusion
with the search
that continues to be
a mirage
of people
in deserts
of snow ...

ReplyDeleteपेड़ों के तो कान उमेठे,
सूखे पत्तो को दोड़ाया.
पोखर में खलबली मचादी,
लहरों को क्या खूब नचाया
पहले मेरे माथा चूमा,
फिर बालों को भी सहलाया
पीपल ने तालियाँ बजाई,
कीकर ने झुनझुना बनाया
Abha Chadha: "With thoughts that charm my confusion" .. says it all.. love it!!
ReplyDeleteUrmila Samson: Loved the whole poem. And that it inspired Suresh to share his poem too. I could 'see' and 'feel' each phrase. (I don't know if they are called phrases.)
ReplyDeleteJohn Samson: Charming, loved the interlacing imagery.
ReplyDeleteReena Dodeja: Joyce ! You are a great writer...love your creative write ups !
ReplyDeleteJim Decouto: Thought vs soul, dark yet desire lingers, if soul were to preceed or engaged, then all that falls only to create a footprint that cakes the soles with mud would be ok as the poets dance of life continues like the endless movement of waves.
ReplyDeleteJaiya Venkat: Theres a true feel to you poem Jo...
ReplyDeleteChhabi Agarwal: Nature..a feast for all the senses. your flirtations with it make it so real for us, sitting miles away, almost like Pathetic Fallacy.
