Knowing

I’ve never understood
Quite exactly
How you always know…

Times, when my brightest
Smile, I flash-
Not wanting you
To be touched by that
Ache, I hold below;
You simply draw me
In, into your arms,
And take that ache away.

Times, when I seethe,
In silent stony, stubborn steam-
You gently warm, and
Keep me cool, and pliant,
With the lightness of your heart!

Times, you know so well-
Brimming with the intense emotion,
We simply touch,
And melt, into the
Dervish of the recurring
Love Dance-
Spiralling upwards
Ever entwined,
Our fragrances…

And so, I don’t want to know too…
How you always know-

You will always…
What more, then
Remains,

To be known?

  7. Hope you are talking about God here, Usha :)

    you know what...sometimes i say certain things and i wonder who said that..God, was my only answer...

    will happen with anyone, i feel...
    if faith in God be the key to open the door to others...

    i'm used to this lecture, please do not mind...i do not know much about you..may be i'm talking to a Goddess herself :)

    Nice one, Usha :)
