My Aphrodite

Don't do it,
Don't even try,
Seasons yearned for it,
What autumn just complied.
Don't you tuck,
Fallen hair behind...
Till the spring blows a whistle.
Till the summer harsh up a little.
Or else, you may allow
My fingers to tuck them in.
To be close to those perfect lips...
To feel the velvet of your skin...
To sing a song into your ear,
And light up the evening a bit.
Then, let the body do the talking
If only, you permit...

Stepping close I wonder,
Beauty so sublime.
Speaking only with her eyes,
She pauses time.

*Aphrodite is the greek goddess of love and beauty.

  70. There is simplicity in the making of this poem and authenticity in the beauty of Aphrodite . Nice work!!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. The lines are as beautiful as the beauty you speak of with such delicacy and tenderness that is also so sensuous:-)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm kind of a tubelight when it comes to understanding poems (knowing what the poet really means). But I can always identify a great line. "Till the spring blows a whistle" - fantastic.

    You deserve the huge number of comments you have got here, so I wanted to add on to it.

    Unfortunately I don't know Hindi, so I'm skipping your latest one, sorry about that.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Lovely Saru! Profound and short.
    I'm wondering what was circling your thoughts when you were writing this! :)
