AN EVE'S ENCOUNTER FOR LIFE IT RAINS HAPPINESS WITH LOVE
I had so many dreams You sit on a chair, near the dawn
Just needed one with the beams your hand touching my hand
That showed me the way into the universe
The one I could count as 'the day' your eyes sail always to the direction of rain.
Yes, in the heart of our mind once more we hear
Youth with nothing was not much present and future kisses in the rain.
Had to dream on as such I love you in the light of all time
Studying life all the time
Just waiting for the best clime Stronger than a first kiss
like the entrance of eternity into a kiss
I was hosting my parents like white sail on blue summer sea, blue love sky
Trying my best to gain some merits like a deep touch of humanity on my sleeve
As a stranger you came unexpected
Never knew that might get connected Our love sails on a balmy day in the sea
and I see hope on the horizon again
A room I prepared with modesty happiness it rains again
My scantiness I exhibited with honesty from the sky of life
Hoping that it was just for a night it rains love
But you stayed on beyond a fortnight
Roula Pollard
Days to week and weeks to years
We came to understand each other's tears
And all the laughter and the dreams
Only to unite in our seams
Oh! That ordinary evening
With such unfathomed meaning
That brought two souls together
To happily face life's every weather

Cares about heathen life's mold, life and all
Caressing to fondle as if emerald! But my eyes would weave loving intricate patterns of you ...
Only you ...
Candy in chewing be beheld, My head would buzz with iridescentM and bustling thoughts
Cheering in momentary behold; Touching the sparkling stars n coming back to earthly Earth
Creating sugary times to unfold, But my core would always be pregnant with effulgent thoughts
Crazy minds worn out love to hold! of you ...

The inner beauty you emanate truly sets you apart You make me dance

Your needs and desires you have the art to express You make me sing
Tasting the bitter how to savour the sweet the very skill you possess To the tunes of your songs

As you are the Power that connects; Not dissects
You are the “Shakti” that proliferates purity and largely loom Every word I spell out
As you yourself is the creator of your destiny till doom Every feeling I pass through

AMRAPALI SHE, MY LOVE
I was bride of a city that was a story of splendour She loves me so much,
Assailants and hoofing riders laid down their sword Beyond my understanding as such,
only my a wistful wavering glance was enough In one glimpse of her wink,
I was a victory,victory was mine I fell for her with life to stick,
Father and son both came to my door In the long journey of life,
to get a glimpse of my anklets .
She stood like a rock at whip,
I will tell about my magic, that waved upto ethereal world She blew my years with her love,
Zenith of my vainglorious boost !
We always felt like a pair of dove,
When spellbound Buddha came to my door Feelings created a telepathic communication,
My supreme victory was !
Pain or pleasure always wrote a song of union,
You know that day I conquered God !
Do you want to know the secrets of my spell ? To add value to my life came our children,
I lost my soul of sprouting love in bloody slain Life was sheer joy throughout when they were born,
Happiness & sorrow were two sides of the same coin,
Sun melted down drop by drop on rose petals
wriggling soul erupted in metallic one Pleasure & pain kissed life with love & fortune,
That day I became an iron petal . The Mother earth opened gates of a vast future,
Ripped the boons that came timely with the new seasons as treasure,
Dr. Pragya Suman How swiftly time flew by could never know ?
Life played the music of pain & pleasure in the show,
Loved her feminine manners of care,
Beseeching more of her timeless love
in behavior,
Love could be felt in our pulse beats,
Home, offsprings & wealth flowed as gift,
She always stood like a rock by my side,
Life, love & fortune played gimmicks
with great pride.

MYSTICAL EVE'S LOVE AN EVE'S LOVE
Her adorable sunny smiles now glitteringly shine, Not another hour nor another time
The cherished dimple on her cheek speak love lines, The love withal holds me forlorn
The radiance emitting from her warm mystic heart, O return only for the love of love!
Spells volumes of inestimable love dart.
A word so sweet the heart so yearns
No wonder the seductive eve has fallen in love, The dried wounds are washed by tears
Her vibes that tip toe to his heart are fabulous, O return only for the love of love!
Her total occupation on his body is marvelous,
Residing in his heart is amazingly precious. The lonely miles I tread all too alone
Were of a withered love and parched heart
Senses of glorious love have them captivated, O return only for the love of love!
Showers of compassion have lovingly ejected,
Their bodies immersed in musical rhtyms, The nights are gloomy and darkness surmounts
Both souls are basking in glory of admiration. The curse of pride holds me all beside
O return only for the love of love!
Adam n Eve live in human hearts with profound
pleasure, The string of ties dies within me
Souls bathing in blissful passionate shower, With scattered pearls I fail to find you
Melting moments in lovely smiles n charmingly styles, O return only for the love of love!
Adoring beauty lies in laureate of love delight.
A dream I remember when I was young
Atiya Saeed Hands held tight for a heart full of love
O return only for the love of love!
With promises of love I hold you true
Sonorous hours before the breath is dry
O return only for the love of love!

MYSTICAL EVE'S LOVE AN EVE'S LOVE
Her adorable sunny smiles now glitteringly shine, Not another hour nor another time
The cherished dimple on her cheek speak love lines, The love withal holds me forlorn
The radiance emitting from her warm mystic heart, O return only for the love of love!
Spells volumes of inestimable love dart.
A word so sweet the heart so yearns
No wonder the seductive eve has fallen in love, The dried wounds are washed by tears
Her vibes that tip toe to his heart are fabulous, O return only for the love of love!
Her total occupation on his body is marvelous,
Residing in his heart is amazingly precious. The lonely miles I tread all too alone
Were of a withered love and parched heart
Senses of glorious love have them captivated, O return only for the love of love!
Showers of compassion have lovingly ejected,
Their bodies immersed in musical rhtyms, The nights are gloomy and darkness surmounts
Both souls are basking in glory of admiration. The curse of pride holds me all beside
O return only for the love of love!
Adam n Eve live in human hearts with profound
pleasure, The string of ties dies within me
Souls bathing in blissful passionate shower, With scattered pearls I fail to find you
Melting moments in lovely smiles n charmingly styles, O return only for the love of love!
Adoring beauty lies in laureate of love delight.
A dream I remember when I was young
Atiya Saeed Hands held tight for a heart full of love
O return only for the love of love!
With promises of love I hold you true
Sonorous hours before the breath is dry
O return only for the love of love!

AN EVE'S LOVE STIPPLED MEMORIES
She, she, she A passing by song
She is the one who gives birth And I go back long
When a mother A close to heart hmm
She is the remedy to an ulcer And my heart murmurs
When a sister A dear face emerges
She is the best at keeping secrets Heartbeat plurges
When a friend whispers A memory peeps
She is the twin soul And soul jumps in leaps
That adds a scent to a flower From the curtain of life
Beautifying the realm This memory took a strife
Of her lover And travelled an era
On wings of a song !!
She, she, she
Has no strength How some songs n memories
But has enough power Get themselves stippled
To achieve her dreams as a lover In the sands of time n mind
With much perseverance and endeavor So magical, so elusive
Clear yet so diffusive!!
She, she, she
Has a lover’s subtle soft smile Abhiruchi Makker Kalia
Elating the heart as rays of sunlight
Streaming through the clouds
Spreading a glint of hope in a sad heart
Shyly announcing an early spring sprout
Giving hope with a loving laughter
Spreading a steady glow as a luster.

DESCRIPTION SHE'S NOT YOUR MARIONETTE
My description – a woman. Hexed are those hands
You liked perfection. Who left the dewdrops in torment
You liked a proliferation. Neither her epidermis genesis to amuse you
What did I want, never counted… Nor her vagina, the red carpet for your penis
You wanted me to count my skills. Where the ill psychology gets captured in the vision
Still I failed the count.
Then testosterone is nevertheless the reason
You didn't have any of those – Stripping her dress robustly
I possessed.
That is Guardian angel of her respect
Is like trampling the dieties dignity
You submerged me.
Neither burqa and kurti
You looked askance
You did not let me surface. Can cover your lustful eyes
Your measured steps were only Nor jeans and skirts
Can instigate you to be a pervert
For the dance.
Crushed the humanity
Inclusiveness lies without. Presenting her nudely
Why my definition you obliterate? Ejecting pods of pain,made her screams
Still I remain I. Shower like a silent rain
You are still counting… Those votive candles in the gloomy nights
I reap the years that come unannounced. Can never inoculate the dainty Pudica
In your narrowing gaze Her miasma of malediction
There is no committed wait. Will take you to the Pandemonium
Waiting is a virtue, I ought to know.
But… Priyanka Priyadarshini, Odisha
There is no hoping that you are
Likely to learn a lean lesson!
With some keenness,
The chess board
is readied.
Inside a box there is no game!
The flamboyance is by chance.
The kings are now found only in chess!
And they too are also susceptible to loss.

MIRAGE
Is your existence real or mirage…?
Am I running behind an illusion
or a phantom reality…?
I feel, sometimes, this holocaust
Has sprung from my heart itself
It consumes my 'self'
And what remains is 'yourself'.
May you run very fast,
You're surrounded by the rain.
In what way, I try to escape,
You surround my terrain.
But where am I running…?
And behind whom?
Perhaps, this arena is created
By me, around me… to bloom.

I am sitting on thy passion palm I'm in love
Since ages and my eyes Yes, I'm in love
Got tired in tiresome wait I feel, I ponder
Waiting you to raise your palm Yes, I'm in love
Take it close to thy mouth Pink, blue, pale colours sprouting,
Freaking fingers don't succeed Giggling around me,
Rather fail so flawlessly I'm drenched in rainbow,
And give no strong support Dazzling with it,
To thy hand, heart though All the colours assimilated in me,
Pumping and beating with shouts Cool breeze from garden,
Sharply shaking all veins Wide open windows,
To awaken thy blood Rosy smell surrounding me,
Calling crazy mouth to master I'm rose or jasmine !
Some courage and dare Never mind,
As only then will palm Flying high with the fragrance,
Reach mouth that is Wish to dance without anklets,
At miles distance and momentous near Sing without chorus,
Grab the time to make it Oh, amazing world,
Fast and feel the nearness Delighting feelings,
So near- without delay Wonderful swings of mood,
Sigh hard & swallow me in!! New aspirations,
New me,

I AM AN INDIAN YOUNG WIDOW NOW SHE IS !
I am an Indian young widow Once they cheated her world
Cruel destiny made me so Killed her many times by words
at my prime age of twenty nine Broke her wings easily to die
Made her world as a darkness sky !
How happy was our married life! Now, she is an awakened woman
Truly made for each other Found herself as a dragon woman
Like a pigeon couple lived for only six years By the power of her own wisdom
Almighty gave us two cherubs aged five and three Oh,resurrecting herself as a flame !
With scanty earnings of his and mine She has learnt to take decision
struggled hard to run our family And learnt to face the illusion
We both were rowing hard since sea was always stormy Her ocean waves that makes her
Still we could view our terminus then To be with positive vibes !
She walks in fire
Alas I have to row all alone now And flows like a river
And sea has become more violent Not to inspire
No glimpse of any terminus now But for her unique power !
Hellish is the life of an Indian widow She is dancing like a moon
Tragic and nightmarish if she is young Wearing her crown like a queen
Eagles fly over her wherever she goes Becoming the rays of sunshine
When she craves for love and sympathy Oh,infinite stars in her veins !
society rends her bleeding heart Hey world !
shooting arrows of repulsive words Remember that,
Curses hurl on her from in-law's house Now,she is an ageless soul
Burden for her parents and brothers Ethereal beauty and eternal song !
In fact she rows not for saving her life She is flying higher than sky
but to save her children from being drowned Stopped her cry to fly in high
She has found her way of light
Prof. K. V. Dominic And she believes herself as an universe..!

I AM AN INDIAN YOUNG WIDOW NOW SHE IS !
I am an Indian young widow Once they cheated her world
Cruel destiny made me so Killed her many times by words
at my prime age of twenty nine Broke her wings easily to die
Made her world as a darkness sky !
How happy was our married life! Now, she is an awakened woman
Truly made for each other Found herself as a dragon woman
Like a pigeon couple lived for only six years By the power of her own wisdom
Almighty gave us two cherubs aged five and three Oh,resurrecting herself as a flame !
With scanty earnings of his and mine She has learnt to take decision
struggled hard to run our family And learnt to face the illusion
We both were rowing hard since sea was always stormy Her ocean waves that makes her
Still we could view our terminus then To be with positive vibes !
She walks in fire
Alas I have to row all alone now And flows like a river
And sea has become more violent Not to inspire
No glimpse of any terminus now But for her unique power !
Hellish is the life of an Indian widow She is dancing like a moon
Tragic and nightmarish if she is young Wearing her crown like a queen
Eagles fly over her wherever she goes Becoming the rays of sunshine
When she craves for love and sympathy Oh,infinite stars in her veins !
society rends her bleeding heart Hey world !
shooting arrows of repulsive words Remember that,

VIEW OF BURNING LOVE "APPLES NOT STOLEN"
People can understand you Eyes are all hers,
Of passing clouds and falling tears Sight is he with whom she falls in love with;
The true condition of widows Sounds classify beyond genders,
Where burning love shuttered in pain Colors of speech for pages irrespective of ages to keep.
But when your casket closes
I know not where to turn Every deity and sculpture is she,
But with our hearts broken apart will it ever be the time Hammer strokes with a nail are his;
Behind woven webs, Sketched curves on landscapes are hers,
Too frightened, too shocked, too ignorant Feet which walk on nameless ways belong to him.
Then breath has gone raising alarms
With you by my side you're all, I need The bonding factor in every relationship mothers,
A misty sense of dread Deeds live to find everyday new fathers;
As in the formed silver vase Apples not stolen are gardens plucked,
An empty space beside my chair, Hunger and thirst beyond identity manufactures.
The warming touch of gentle hands
Nothing new to say Last sleep without pillow and lullaby are his,
I am ready to stop the culture of widows The ashes of fire in water are hers;
Let's talk of roses and romance, Even before she and he love been born,
So believe in love Thousand Suns, million moons in different skies are made for others.
We're one and the same.

A WOMAN'S LOVE WOMAN'S BLISS
(To my Mother and other good women)
You kissed me and your tender lips
were a sudden smile. Inside her womb we bloom
Nothing moved, our silent dreams Into human beings,
finally breaking out through With body, face of charm
the long-lasting forests And great soul a-glowing.
of amber, pine-trees and ice.
We had met once, In her heart we find love,
lost in a time of shadows Mother's or grandma's warmth,
when your heart was dying, Sisterly, friendly care
and my words were frozen insects. Or great romantic bliss.
You didn't kiss me then,
we didn't touch, From her teacher-like mind
but were mained together, We learn knowledge, skills,
translating the golden universe Some lessons to live by,
of our feelings in scents of dusk Virtues and good manners.
and ambergris.
Sparrows were singing. From her hands come nice crafts,
In the bright light, Objects of great delight:
just true words stayed. Bracelets and necklaces,
Your eyes were a sky of shiny to pazes Sweaters and woven mats.
While the moon was moaning,
our hearts were moving. From her tested virtues
Your hands were birds of the dawn. We find trust and strength,
Love of Mother Mary,
Maria Do Saneiro Barroso Guts of Joan of Arc.
Mother, grandma, sister
Wife, lover or just friend,
Woman is a great soul
Who's all rolled into one:

ONLY MEMORIES YOU CAME LIKE AN EVE
How many you miss me, my dear, Like the light-filled Eve that God created it,
Between tears when I you remember, You made me Adam, you made me fly,
I call you often, do you me hear, In life's Eden, full of flowers, when we meet.
When I go to our place with pain? Great love kindles me till on the sky.
This place is always warmer, Spaces of the soul we sparkled in flames,
Pure love, our love warm it, And turned the days in grades of spring,
And why December makes it cold, With opened lily with full of white flowers,
I always, find flowers in that corner. We nourish and increase our love feeling.
For many years we lost in exile, In life entered often the devil among us,
We didn't find the big, pleasant world, The dark clouds in the sky of happiness form,
And the place here, remained just a memory, Sometimes they fly and brought downpours us,
Something past, one wound that pain. We often found ourself in the mouth of the storm.
The moon and the sun care daily, The world does not exclude sins, at least now,
They give him a ray, give him lighting, Don't judge for the forbidden apple, it too us belong,
Green grass and roses call us, And Eve with Adam would not have been tried,
Our return from many time are waiting. If they knew that poison awaited with the fate along.
Two tears fall on me every time, On these Christmas as a ray of sun to the eye,
When look the pink rose in our place Happy, smiling, we are both again that shine.
It awaits we there like then, in shine Is it not for us as a beautiful gift from sky?
Where our silent love had remain. And it radiating our hearts like something divine?
