Pinnacle of Pleasure


















black vines entwine
to walls in the countryside
thunders bring in the cold night
trees welcome embracing rain
just like lover his beloved

soil awaits its turn
soaking in the water
to its core through it pores
quenching its thirst
as never before

lightning strikes
showing the nudity of nature
in all its splendour
in the arms of water
pouring as if to consume.

the storm abates
hunger satisfied,
each single part replete
the earth settles about
after orgasmic release!

    Wow, wonderful imagery, Gautami! You have captured the copious Bombay monsoons so aptly. I have really enjoyed this poem and at the risk of repeating myself I will say your beautiful poems always make me so homesick...

    what a beautiful vivid poem Gautami.

    But are monsoons overflowing though sometimes causing massive flooding?

    homo escapeons: well yes, it did. I was very satisfied with this effort of mine.

    For sometime now, I am kind of doing good in my poetry. And to think of it, I started as prose writer.

    Thanks!

    jon: Welcome after so long!

    Margie: Hug you!

    ghost: ok. But I am going to Bangalore. Don't think I will write before I get back on 17th Dec.
