Love Letter Ii

ETHEREAL EMBRACE

In divine abode of Hindu god Indra
To the music played by the Gandharva
Dances celestial dancer Apsara 
Astral beauty glitters on Menaka. 

On earth you came from heaven like angel
Ascetic’s stern meditation you broke
I know how alluring can be your spell
Fire of secret craving in me you stoke.

In my enticed vision you come alive
I see you dance in enlivened fresco
My sensual dream doesn’t break, I strive
Let my life shine in ethereal glow.

You’re a hidden star in heaven somewhere
I’ll find your warm embrace when I go there.

CayCay Jennings Date: 3/28/2018 6:06:00 PM Beautifully woven. I admit to being ignorant about your culture and now feel compelled to look up all whom you referred to in your first stanza. Without meaning to do so, you may be the reason I learn something today! Thank you for that and the poem. Poetry hugs ...

Apsaras are depicted in many ancient sculptures, paintings and frescos in India and in the neighboring countries.
