Admist that raging storm

when the mind was shut  

and ears turned - 

blind

A note was struck, high

floating in melody of space

sprung in me a feeling - 

undefined.

Through those wading clouds of

uncertainty

She walked in with grace of a free bird -

solemn, high with

serenity.

This soul, then bare of hope and expression

now longed to live more than ever

to grope those comforting fingers  &

kiss her in a lock of spell -

unbound.

I closed my eyes to see the boat sink

leaving behind a wrinkle in -

time

and opened them in whiteness filled with

warmth of her beauty, drenching a heart -

mine.

There are notions of space & then there are notions of time

but what when one feels none ?

Gentlemen ! that is how I felt with

my palm clenched against hers - 

two candles lighted as one.

And now she is gone with parting winds

my heart longs, a heaviness it gains.

Someday, when I wake up in a dream

         devoid of darkness, chain -

I shall see her innocent eyes, and divine body

         dancing in the rain.
