A Look -384 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK -384

When Your Lovely Cheeks Blush into Bloom

When your lovely cheeks blush into bloom,
the earth and sky
rewrite the lyric of love and longing.

The lotus and the sun
weave a dream of reunion,
after a long night of separation.

The lily dances in delight,
romancing the silver moon
that lingers in the sky.

The newlywed beneath the veil
smiles silently,
seeing her beloved on the way.

When your cheeks dance like waves in the sea,
I see vernal blossoms in a dry summer,
carrying me to the land of colours.

And I lose myself for a while,
just watching you,
the smile and the glow in your eyes.

Where silence speaks the language of love,
dreams take form in reality,
and the heart gently rules over reason,

where rationality bows to love's embrace.
