SANDS & SHADOWS

Feel the wind frolicking on your face,
And the sunlight smiling around your eyes
Let your feet romance the sand
Tattooing your memories on the shadow
To let this moment in perpetuity
Be lovingly called Heaven on Earth
-Neel Trivedi

  1. Adept

    Africa swells thunder gland
    as icicle pedicles form new Island
    Dwell across crossings to watery Forest
    to plunge & bough on sand hotness
    Edge offshoot distant safe harbor
    spirit stretch trees of ardor
    Poetic song New York
    glides Dionysus
    Tuning Fork

  2. Strolling along glistening path
    toes in sand
    hair blowing in gentle breeze
    pondering upon heartfelt memories
    Eight blessings bestowed upon me
    raised em up to B brave
    think freely!
    to embrace their inner me
    44 years 31st day of 7th month
    Leo; faced inner shadow
    shed many tears through the years
    thought i was unlovable, unlikeable
    I felt miserable, always trying ta please…
    Hopin someone would love me
    I finally love myself, both light & dark
    Tis what gave me passion & spark
    Shaped me, broke me…
    Then awoke me!
    Happy birthday! I’m free
    Love has made its mark
    Julie

  3. Curiosity delights
    fondling dreams

    with rapt devotedness
    he pleasures her

    with sun kissed air
    of his breath

    lingering on shadows
    of her undertones

    rhapsodizing love
    on the ever migrating sands.

  4. Sandcastling Delight

    Your fire saunters on sand
    mesmerizes even shadows
    wrapping sunlight over us
    chilled eyes basking desire.

    Searing looks decked out
    map sunstruck smiles
    you gift my moment
    as clouds hurry over.

    Cooling temperament rules
    our fingers say hello
    dripping with relief
    we sandcastle our delight.
