Inspired!


Life of the party
That lady in red
Ruffles of scarlet encasing her grace
She treads in measured steps
Making the bystanders envy her stilettos 
For kissing and casing her feet!

She tips her green gloved hands
Offering the greeter a chance
To peck on her fingers 
As her sweet fragrance lingers
Captured in their breath!
And she dips her head bidding a bye!

“Camellia, come hither”
Her beau the butterfly signals
She turns around and pouts..
Spreading her palm before her face
And pulling the lover towards her 
As she pulls her finger back and forth!
Does she have strings wrapped around her tips
Maneuvering lovers like puppets?
I know not!

All I know is that she swirls around in that red  ruffles  
Making me twirl a ribbon of words
Watching her in awe, as she treads the garden party
In rockstar aplomb!
“Camellia, stay where you are, how you are”
I’ll come thither
And capture you on my lens and sense
Letting out a sigh and letting in your sighting!

A love not(e)


As you tread on the vagaries 
Of these heart lanes
And stop to stare
At the juxtapose
Of the fallen and the rising
Freeze not, and freeze my senses!
Under you feet, the margin of that path
Aligning the ever evolving
Textures of these soul planes
Lie the pavers to my perception.
Beneath your glide, gleams my muse
Unearthing the inspirations, imaginations.
As you take the road, cruising through the unknown
Greeted by the imagined
Daunted by the unexpected
Walk assured
Of my ever abiding presence
Tucked away in the unconscious insides
Of your psyche!
Pause if you must, well up if you should
But keep going
Aided by the crutches of my invisible support.
Let me revel in that perseverance
And knit cozy poems
Proclaiming my enamor.

As it is abstract, this attendance, so it is absolute!
