Best Festal Poems

The Nectars of Love

Let your love fall, that I may wallow 
Let your tears drip of inner essence
Entranced by the nectar I swallow
As I engulf and taste your presence
***
Let your beating heart keep company
The emptiness that entraps my being
I’m a string vibrating in your symphony
Forever...

Her name was Anarkali, 
an eloquent carnival of legendary beauty.
a dancer in the court of Emperor Akbar.
Deep russet rouge blushed her red,
a silky smile on her rosy peach cheeks 
rich, sensual and seductive...
With the sweet scent of jasmine, and 
festal moonlight of crystal starred sky,

Sweetness pours out across her aching lips
a dripping delight under candied apple eyes
motionless with the mulberry tree in wonderment
as the dainty honey bee dances with delight

Closed eyes and daytime wishes overcome
shy visions slipping out of shadow's view
hushed breaths drawn  a dewdrop melody
heartbeats begging for...

^she_

^she_  had a love/hate relationship with food
she only fed with her eyes,
i was a sparkless firecracker 
and spoke English like i hated it.

not the least bit compatible
in any department 
at any hour on any menu
she wouldn't even drink the water.

I would slip through the...

Such is love that the soft setting sun,
Hibernates within my humble heart…
Where the skies are filled with palettes,
Of amour and tears of liquid love…
My soul surrenders to the biradial beauty,
Of the voguish voyeuristical view…
As the wandering waves wake my,
Sapphire smile that sails with the wind…
The...

Bathing in the Nectars of Love

Let your love fall now that I may wallow
Let the tears drip of your inner essence
Entranced by the nectar that I swallow
As I may engulf and taste your presence

Let your beating heart keep me company
The emptiness that entraps my being

Never will another season bring so much joy
A feeling of love, togetherness and happiness
Ring out them festal bells and let’s be jolly
A savior was born, condescended, we are happy
We go to church, offer praise most joyful
Screams of delight, Children playing happily

Lovers holding hands gazing happily
At...

(for: them who are ever there!)

these branches and roots
that cord to the grave ancients
should be free from man’s swords!
both oracle and priest held for days …

I 
Your voice speaks in the silence of the night
To the deep still shady earth
That once held a great zest...

Tattered clobbered thoughts streaming to winged dusts,
spiral spasms tremble amid weary sounds.
The festal moods swing dreary interludes,
visions ache release with defloration--

throaty cries heightens the greedy man's lust.
He longs to possess the murmur of blood
from naked images throbbing desires,
it surges -- tinged to his cerebellum.

Dark libertine...

Deep purple passion, green garden glory, with a scent remarkably rich,
Like the haunting, full October moon, that hardly ever fails to bewitch!
Lilac lovely, violet and voluptuous, in gilt daytime, and evening's ease,
When soon cosmic skies are colored, like rubies, cardinals and cherries!

Admired like amethysts, or...

Climbers and bushes are like sentinels that guard our terrains,
Waterfalls and paths, cascade like snakes gliding on the mountains, 
Our indigenous mansion lounges like a penthouse on the hill,
Amidst echoing rocks, mumbling winds, which chime with a mellow mill.
Chirpy whistles, gaiety gurgles and tuneful tender...

An unborn baby, 
From the womb,
Scratched the belly,
Over and over of its mom;
She minded not once;
But when was frequent,
Rubbing her belly she fondled;
Oh! You impish,
Don't tickle with your tiny nail;
No-no baby I feel too pain;
Again a scratch,
But this time it had sound;
O mu, ye ma-ma...

Ringing in the New Year,
Ignites festal cheer.
Sparkling dance floor,
Glasses raise for a toast,
Showers of blessings,
Promises of love,
Youthful exuberance,
Burgeoning wings,
Untrammelled disposition,
Spirits unshaken,
Holidays flamboyant,
Achievements myriad,
Accolades and encomium,
Memories worth savouring rerun....

Once invited by her,
To candle light dinner,
Captivating smile in her face;
I accepted "Oooom! It's OK,
Was looking for a festal break";
Came the evening,
And we were,
At the table candle lit;
Candle kindled, 
Melting self to illuminate us;
Watched each other, 
Face to face;
The candle in midst of us;
Perhaps was...
