Dr. Aarush Deora
Falling in love was red
Her luscious lips quivering
On the velvety horizon
That became her voice.
Falling in love was sudden
Fighting time in its own backyard
And then slow,
hovering a heartspace above
And a heartbeat below
The moment that would hang
For eternities intact
In our hearts entwined.
Falling in love was like breathing
The air left warm in her wake
Then smiling
Without reasons while it still rains
O'er the blossoming orchids
And the roses so scarlet
That soothing memory
Now forever irrigates.
It was a dream
Within the dream I dared to nurse
Down at the very bottom
Of the last drink we shared
Swirling yet with bated breaths
Two hearts do still sing
Unafraid of their own madness
Untethered of all logic and reason
Within the confines of loss,
And we may yet learn again
That single entrenched memory
That blossoms in our garden
Of togetherness
In the courtyard that we may have
Dared vacate
The song can still be heard
How falling in love
Was the highest my heart
Could have ever risen.
English poetry needs fineness and every verse in your poetry defines it .
Looking forward to read more of your work
That is a beautiful piece. Especially, the last four lines are the best way to describe the four letter emotion. Congratulations!
