the flirtation
fades...

shifted suddenly to another realm ~
wherefrom there are caused thoughts that overwhelm

are not dreams discarded in nonchalance ~
why’s playful dalliance not our response...

A little spark of dalliance bursts a humongous flame,

         now it's white-hot passion growing too wild to tame

Dearly beloved why ever
Are you so passionate to seek?
an avenue of fraudulent dalliance
When a plethora of amour
Screams before you
Forsaking me to ponder
When the page shall revolve...

mood of heart celebratory
appreciative of beauty
vibrant presence of innocence 
yet stagnates not in dalliance
life flow joy continuity

Only in thy ecstasy, let Thor-
The name of my weary lips rest
For mine soul, from long sleep 
Started waking sensual desires
To remember, O, how dalliance 
Inspired by flame, embraced us!...

Seated in its ambience,
Longed for this dalliance,
I'm in nature's embrace,
Away from life’s rat race,
Surrounded by colours,
Mix of different flavours,
Permeate the entire realm,
I’m laced on nature’s hem.

Harbingers...
   Bucolic Sounds...
     Efflorescence in Abundance...
       Petrichors of late Summer,
         Redolent of Propinquity to Creation,
       Erstwhile Demesne of God. 
     An Ephemeral Dalliance,
   Serendipitous Timing...
 EPIPHANY !...

That this dalliance should endure
against all who seek to sway
this time this tide
none shall break

when souls set in romance
worship each and one
none shall come between
this harmony this love

and years may pass
but the sight of love
shall shimmer sweet
this loving this light...

Working ants chant! 
(abridged) 		
I am a sunrise solution
I am a sunrise solution
	
I chase clients
Like a go-getter Following comfort crumbs
With promised dalliance anthem
With legwork related resolution
That set everything in motion	
I am sunrise solution		
I am sunrise solution...

The efflorescent dream to imbue
my opulent languor,whose ripples
vestigial,untoward,hissing,waving
the dalliance quite sneaky peaky.
Is it the murmur of a mellifluous song
yet to be sung by the divine entity!
Is it the penumbra of an ethereal beauty
soothing my bosom with its eternal charm !...

I am a simple wandress, an ingenue with virgin wings,

Entangled in strings of anguish, I steer from the path,

Aware of the wrath, I twirl in a world of my own. 

I’ve my soul on a chain, with controls to my pain,

But a dalliance with love turns stone to cellophane.

You see right through me....

Lingering glance more than circumstance,
Endearing gesture not mere chance.
Corresponding smile engenders romance;
Suggestive movements invite dalliance.
 
An enticing scent that permeates,
An enchanting voice that resonates,
An alluring personality that levitates,
A tender feeling that stimulates....

Mostly it’s the shadows
prancing across the fields
in dalliance with the daisies
hopscotching about the buildings
shapeshifting amid the trees
playing hide and seek with the sun
dancing with shoeless children 
that make me marvel
at the antics
of each passing cloud

conduit open
awaiting energisation
tamas shaken
wondrous joy ignition

love magnetic
drawing in the current
bliss ecstatic
innate native element

inner silence
merging into the void
love dalliance
being-ness overjoyed

we surrender
our identity in totality
silent thunder 
bliss throb perpetuity

Make hay!
Meant the macaw's epiphany
Coming in propinquity of the demesne
Pondering the erstwhile efflorescence of dalliance, she chirped
The bucolic redolent was everywhere, smelling petrichor in the air
This land is her home, she whistled with serenpidity
Harbinger of ephemeral life, she chattered: 
While the sun shines,
Make hay!...

October Tease - Etheree


Spent,
Summer
sets the stage
withdraws on cue
beneath cloudless blue.
October lays her quilt
upon chilled and browning fields
leaves - a touch of artist’s brush
cool breath upon the neck of Winter
soft dalliance as rainbow curtain falls.
