PREMONITION
-
Manas
Bakshi (India)
Before I'm struck
By the levin
Of another Monalisa smile,
Give me the winy blush
Of your eyes
To live another rainbow - rich night.
Before the glow of your love's proved
Illusory as the gesture of a glaring dryad
Certain to dim into the freak of a ghastly night,
Give me a handful of dust
To throw into the eyes of a white squall
For keeping me still alive !
