THE LIVELY DREAM 

someone who comes quietly, in the 

silent night, writes some wet

message on the window 

glass by finger tip, 

in the melted 

emotion 

some beautiful affinity creates the 

the image of your blooming

love, filtered moonlight 

through the lacy 

leaves of 

gulmohar tree searches the refuge,

on the  verandah, I often look 

your aesthetic existence 

on that illusive design,

with unclouded 

beauty and

delicacy

of glassy sculpture, the wakeful 

night snatches my persona,

perhaps it exchanges

with you, in the 

rhythm of 

pulsation I find your presence into

the form of sodden, nocturnal

fragrance of tuberose,

in late night the 

melted

vapor of window panes becomes 

the lively dream - - -
