Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Sijo

A Positive Poem

A poem in my body is asleep in an upright state                           
And you come into me on the broad way of my lonely heart     
Think of you in heavy traffic, I lay bare my deep desire.               

Search your trunk for a vowel, a consonant, a simile                
Search more for one syllable, apt images, to pen poem           
I whisper into your ears the echoes, the sound effects.              

Ideas overflowing into my head touch your curved lips              
To compose, to get molded deep into the vault of your mouth    
I can feel and hear my poem in the sphere of my heaven.
