WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
By K.Balachandran


Your sweet murmurings
tickle the the evening
look! the sky is blushing
it's all red in the western horizon.

with your soft breath
you make the atmosphere sweet
hay, the honey bee is confused,
it comes round and round
like an enamoured lover!

with your sonorous snore
the dreamy night
gets goose bumps
fools call them stars
and gloat how they gleam.

have you ever thought
what my love to you
does to me every minute?
my heart palpitates like
I am in an affliction-
only love can bring
and do away with.

words never can fully tell
how do I feel
when you are away
and my eyes crave for
you in sight.
