Kiss From A Rose

The sun has hardly risen. The morning light has hardly appeared. The mist of the dawn has hardly melted. I left my niche for my usual hand out. Miles roll away—hours pass by till I reach The Garden—the Utopia of my Dreams—The Garden of Heaven!

Acres and acres of sweet multicoloured flowers are laid out—I have tasted most of them; thus have a clear concept about which is sweet and which is not. I only glanced at them and without a pause kept on moving. I may sound a “Casanova” but simply I am not contented at heart with any of them.

I went to the most secluded and ignored part of the place, where at one barren corner stood a desolate Rose Tree.

Thin are Her branches, almost naked and full of sharp thorns. God has never graced Her with a single flower.

The lonely Tree, clearly sad at heart, has always been the centre of all my attraction. So far I have tried innumerous attempts to establish a friendship with Her; but every time She, with Her silent refusal has blown all my passions out. Still I did not give up hope. I knew quite well, that desolate Lady—whom I never saw smiling—is the object of all my happiness, all my passion, all my peace.

Visiting Her has now become my regular routine. I keep on talking with Her—mostly one sided—hours after hours. Sometimes She replies, sometimes believes only in reticence.

From a distance I saw her. Something must have happened. She looked different. She was still desolate, but definitely She looked different. I came closer. She waved her branches and oh! What a surprise! I saw a small flower! A budding Rose! Finally She has a flower at the edge of one of Her branches! God has smiled on Her—and gifted Her with a bud—a bud of Rose!

I came further close. I sat on the lap of the Rose! She is so Red! She is so Bright! Then She kissed me—on my lips—on my cheek—on my forehead. I felt Her touch—I felt Her lips—soft and moist yet with the morning dew. I enfolded Her—rested my head on Her swelling breast. Aaaahh! I felt Her! Her Heavenly Fragrance—Unearthly Tenderness—I felt all. It made me go wild—I gone mad! I simply went mad! Now I am the King of the World. I have the Kiss—Kiss from a Rose!
(And The Drone can never think of remaining departed from His loving Rose any longer!)

Oh! Time!

Oh! Time!
Ruthless impetuous Time,
Canst thou stand still
For a while or two
That I may look at her eyes
For a life unending!

Oh! Time!
Ruthless impetuous Time,
Canst thou leave us apart
With lips join hands
Breast on breast
Shadows together
To gift us a Love
Never to pine or die!

Oh! Time!
Ruthless impetuous Time,
Canst the Wolf in thee
Spare thou Prey
Some moments
Memorable and motionless
So to delve deep
Into the core of Hearts
And sing thy Hymns
Forever Young
Forever Fresh!
