WHEN WE EXPLORE
By K.Balachandran


I would dip in that spring
never full, but in spite
at such moments,
of deep engagement
with the cryptic voices of nature.
In a rush of passion
I would reach those
lovely peaks that
shiver as if by tremors
that rumble deep below.

With my trembling heart
I would catch your broken song,
though out of tune
thrills and urges me
to do whatever pleases me.
You are a cloud transparent,
that envelops moon
with the swift hands of wind,
the swirls,the twists and turns
aren't us, but nature in glorious motion
dancing in tune with our essence.

In effulgent moments, like sky birds
when we go beyond limits
lips that were parched leaves
quickly swell up like juicy orange slices.
Love in swift moves show wonders
with it's magic wand.

Experience now the music
of motion,an explosion,
on which we are thrown up
to a timeless state,
violent spasms triggered by
a subterranean center.
It brings quiet togetherness,
at last, hands entwined
we walk in to the garden
where wild orchids in bloom
paint our dreams in vivid colors
