Joy


A little warmth wriggles out
Tickling the soul
Escapes curving lips
A delirious laugh

Surprised eyebrows rise
Supressing the urge
But tearing all confines
It twinkles in the kohl eyes

Little anklets ring
And little hands dance
Untamed it erupts
In soft gurgles

Wrinkles deepen
Knowing and wise
Slowly savouring the moment
It plays on hesitant lips

Unmoved grim lines
Attempt to deny
It coughs through the throat
And softens the eye

Unbridled, unashamed
A little boisterous, a little shy
Freeing itself from all shackles
Pure unadulterated joy

Magical Love


Do you see me?
Beyond my horizons
And beyond yours

Do you see me?
My skirmish, my yearning
Beneath the blanket of calm

Do you see me?
The smile cutting through the pain
The joy in my tears

Do you see me?
Stripped bare
Unadorned and exposed

Do you see me?
For me?
As me?

And still desire me?

Magical love!
