"Dreaming under a Neem tree"

"Dreaming under a Neem tree"

Dreaming under a Neem tree

I caught her shadow behind me

sitting lone on a lawn seat..

embellished in a flowery apparel !!!

I looked upon the Sky

and the faces around me

laughing on my convalescence !!!

I crave to embrace her soul

fondle my fingers on her hair !!!

and the dark moon on her face ...

but......

I decline in disgrace ....

As she was lotus well away

blaring my presence with her flames !!

In this bewildering ambiance

her sighs scratched the skies !!!

the heavens pour oceans

stones waxed to vines ...

and even....

the graveyards come to life !!!

the gods soared to envy her

as they lost an adorer..

Elated her to goddess

"Marazi" shows his reverence

Dreaming under a Neem tree

I seized her shadow behind me
