Monsoon Wind

Monsoon Wind

I behold the sea

The sea assails me

Monsoon winds

Rub my skin

Sandalwood cream

Every part

Every atom of body

Is reverberating 

With eddies

My eyes close

I chase and catch

And again lose

The sensation

O! Time, do not get spent 

Eternalise this moment

...

Riding on the wind

Whose odour comes?

And fills my inside

My inside blossoms

On the sea beach

My life weaves

Threads of waves

Of someone's breath beads

And strings my breaths

...

Sand castles will fall down

Footprints will get wiped

In the lap of the beach 

In the swing of the waves

I roam I lay

I rock I laugh 

Three worlds trickle down

And tickle me

With this honeyed memory

Of hallowed experience

I deck the sands like shells, like specks

I roam away with the sea

To return with the foam...
