Smita Sriwastav Poem
sublime quilt
of dormant shimmers
in lethargic winter sunshine
stretched on shivering earth
as finger caresses of peace.
turning variegated world
into a room filled
with feathers floating from
bursting womb
of sailing pillows on azure.
pouring wisps of manna
from chalices in heavens,
falling through misty translucence
to salve blisters on
breast of earth in chilblain.
muted rhapsodies of drizzles
resound as whispers of
snow crystals with soar throat
humming ambiguous strains
in ears of indifferent Boreas.
hymeneals in albescence
floating in the chilly breeze,
prayers of angels for children
and dreams for animals
dormant in hibernation,
from land of Morpheus reach
the world as prismatic snow.
like molted moonlight
raiment of night covering
visage of earth's verdant realms
piled on treetops and roofs,
turning kaleidoscopic canvas
of existence argent...

Smita Sriwastav Poem
on beach strewn in
silver vermouth of moonlight,
covered in a chiaroscuro
of argent and umbrage
with tidal sonatas echoing
as choirs of eternity.
lovers in silken embrace
limbs entwined, breaths braided
reiterate promises of love,
sagas of dreams and desires
alabaster skin peppered
in dew of passion and sea breeze.
as heated kisses brand
contours in roseate blush
and fingers etch love stories
in calligraphy of sultry caresses,
their satiated sighs drowned by
the reverberating hymns of waves.
losing oneself they find the other
hearts in mutual gallop of rapture,
in stolen moments of rendezvous
under voyeur gaze of amber moon...

Smita Sriwastav Poem
tangerine splashes
scrolls in scarlet,
on shriveled bosoms
of muted flutters
rustling in whispers
of arid harmonies.
molted dreams
of boughs denuded
of verdant skin,
heaped in versicolor
as confetti for
whimsical draught.
jaundiced wasps,
crickets in rapture
lost in sonorous tirade
drown symphonies
from spring's meads,
and silence of fall
echoes in mandarin
songs of withered leaves
strummed on keys of breeze.
anecdotes of past,
poured sand from hourglass,
cinnamon verses of soil,
and forgotten stories
of love with whispered
endearments of lovers
are leaves gilded and bronzed
in cauldrons of sunshine,
falling from empty branches.
