Gulmohar Glances: Fragility and Intensity of Love

I move about in haunches
stumbled ways among frozen silences
your eyes gyrated the curves                                           
of my far-flung thoughts
champak odours in dreams
I dared not…

We have left our dreams
somewhere among Oleander blooms
they were fragile though intense
the haunt of foreboding angels

your eyes among irrepressible desires
we have left somewhere…
among Gulmohar glances.
