MEETING YOU

Was it a luck

Was it an accident

Was it for a reason

Was it an unreasonable

Was it a full moon day or the dark

We met the evening under the silvery stars and liquid moon

Thereafter, I've completely become yours

Thereafter, I've forgotten myself & the outside world

All the time I keep looking for you everywhere

With the wetness in the eyes

And the stromness of missing pain in the heart

Where should I go about finding you

To have you back in our world of lovingness

Don't shatter down my love

Come back to me & love me forever & ever

I am living in the hopefulness

You'll come to meet me again & forever

Oh, my true love!

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
