PREMONITION

 


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 !
