The Bidding~

Playing a mischievous game of fate

let's do a trade of our sleep

give one dream

take one dream

sing a lullaby for

The sky has not slept for days either

let's put it to sleep.

let us pause here

no reasons today

playing with a dream

kept in my moonlit pillow.

It took ages to say

two words,one thing

That one day like hundred years

curled passions,shy faces

A hundred years in that one night

let our breathes be baited

a confession, a promise

under this canopy of clouds

hiding

enchanting

reducing to a sigh.

Ludic teasing, tempting with kismet, swapping reveries---this is intimacy of a high order, gently decanted here with a true siren´s wry skills of otherworldly seduction.

One of my very favorites of all your lovely poems of coupling and words´caress,
Bhawana. Here, you´re the enchantress who recalls the memory to stir the present.

I too felt the intimacy in this, artistically rendered Buzz. Your poetry seems to be increasingly sophisticated. Way to go.

I want to read between the lines because I feel the power there. It's heady and filled with passion, the scent of love...and intimate secrets. It's a beautiful poem!

Here, with you, silence is eloquent... the poem is a fulfilling experience.

What a beautiful floating melody. Is the sigh melancholy, part relief and part of life forever cherished? You life has a fullness of special times that formed you.
