Notes About The Poem

FIRST  PLACE     
For "I See Love" Poetry ContestSponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

Evokes In My Senses

miraculous ruby sunrise at dawn, 
gossamer twilight mauve sunset -
scintillating stars at midnight sky ..
moments of divine awe,
playful creepers on the fence, 
vermillion rose-bush in the garden ...
dew drops on lotus leaves ...
an almost-forgotten poignant song from the past .. 
reverberates.

precious faces treasured and engraved in bosom for time eternal -
emerge noiseless when I close my eyelids,
my father’s handsome lined face with pouring love ~ 
waving me back at our last meet ...
my mother’s kind eyes, calm and serene ~
praying ardently for everyone she knew and she did not !

sweetest friends from childhood ~ 
playing hide-and-seek, floating paper boats on a rainy day...
angelic  children I taught ~ eyes glittered...
faces lightened up when I am with them ~
found love incomparable...

a magical love spreads its radiant hue,
lingers in the innermost corner of my heart,
symbolizing the endlessness of feelings,

A childhood which was the source of all love ...
evokes, in all my senses ... 
unfathomable emotions...
