A Breezy Hug Poem by Saroj Padhi

The craggy rocks shiver
under an illusion of earthquake
as your arms go round my neck
in ecstasy of a warm hug,
when the cold wind makes a leaf of me
and I fall to the ground of your desire;
trees in the forest clap
like children at a magic show,
clouds form collage of our union in the Sky
and tears of joy
accumulate in Mahanadi's hazy eye;
we grow speechless
like the mountain silently drinking rain
under a silhouette sun,
the windows of our soul open
like the floodgates of the barrage
letting in the dancing waters of the river
inundate the banks of our body.
