Song of My Love

The song of my love is heard It travels over Seas and mountains Bearing cadences that make the fishes dance It frolics over hills and oceans With rhythms that adorn the eyes of the sun Sniffing the scented air that enflames the smouldering harmattan ash Dancing with the guileless glee of a soul at ease My love wakes Glowing with the shimmers of sunrise As it emerges with the pleasure of a shy bride Rising in slow degrees from the east coast of India Glimmering as the mirror of the stream flows with easy glide Shining like the smiles of the unbridled sun as it beams with pride Gliding with lazy grandeur like the procession of a Royal entourage My love breathes It inhales the sharp scent of burning wood And savours the sweet smell of the lilacs that bloom The breath of my love gives life to hyacinths Shrunken and withered and makes them blossom anew It is warm like the caress of wool on a night of chilly cuddle It's journey down the spine generates shudders of flurry relish My love sees It stares with eyes that sparkle Like the flash of lightening on a sultry night Piercing the flesh as it comes in contact with the soul The eyes of my love are sharp Swifter than the swoop of an eagle on a chick guarded by the hen It is strong like the hammer of Thor And it makes mountains crash like an avalanche It is hotter than the smite of the sun at its peak And it melts the heart frozen like ice My love grows It feeds on smiles that clouds tears Subsumed by the tapestry of the sun's golden gaze It thrives on the rhapsody of gleesome hearts Dancing as they laugh in unrestricted boisterousness My love is a story Told on nights of twilight beauty As lasses blush before flames that smolder And lads boast of valiant feats unachieved It is that song sang as the arms of the wind spread over herbages Clothing them with perfumes that issue from dancing hibiscuses It is the hidden hymn of covenant Sang beneath the lustrous peek of sleeping stars When the transient sneer of the sun hide behind the moon's smile
