An Indian Love Song

HE

Come close let me see your face

My love

Don’t hide the glow,

Don’t cover the fire

My love

Let me breath in your scent

Let me sleep in your manes

I am lost

In you

In your silken contour

In your brazen inferno

Give me life

Let me drink your core

Let me find my soul

In the magical nectar of your kiss

 SHE

How do I let you breath in me?

How do I burn you in my fire?

How do I lose myself in you?

How do I show my face to you

My face is veiled to follow the laws of my land

Our love will set a blaze, not only

The veil

But my land

Your land

The feud of old faiths and beliefs

The blood of numerous griefs

Will be on our hands

HE

What is my land?

What is your land?

Our heart hears both

The sound of temple bells

And

The cry of the muezzin

Our love will conquer all

The rage, the tears

The blood, the fears

We will write a new dharma

We will preach a new karma

Devoid of fear

swarming with love

Shared with NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to rewrite a famous poem, giving it your own spin. I have used "An Indian Love Song" by Sarojini Naidu. Do read it. I am not sure if I was able to spin it differently or if I did any justice to her work. Her words are magical, any attempt to rewrite her poems is futile but it gives me an opportunity to read her again and again.

I did something similar few months back, as in I tried working on one of her other poems "A Cradle Song" . 

Do read my attempt on it. Its called "Little Lovely Dreams". This poem is very close to my heart for various reasons. One of the most important being, I sing it as a lullaby to my kids even now.

H For Heart

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“stories at mid night

tiny voices plead

Heart wins”

H Heart

I am quite strict about schedules and planning. Even as a mother I have a time table and I try and follow it as much as I could. But heart doesn't understands time tables and schedules and neither do my kids. They are quite young right now and there are a few time when my heart loses to my head (Okay not few but many time)......(Okay okay not many almost every other day)...............(No really just every other day, not daily) :P

And when heart wins we let go of schedules and we do what our heart wants, be it stories at midnight, drives in early mornings, dance when you are supposed to study etc etc.

Do let me know how you liked the heart of my day. Do you have any similar incident in your day? What was the most heart warming incident that your remember from your last few days?

Some of the blogs that I love from Day 7 are listed below. Do check them out.

Books

A parallel universe

A whole new world

Story within a story

Love in love

You make life more colourful

You add red to the blush

I shed tears when you cry

I open my wings when you fly

I fall when you fall

I die when you die

I live in you more

then I live in my life

I was and I will always be

Yours truly forever

Gossip

“who what

What about you? Do you gossip?....Common honest reply I want!

Music Of Nature

Music in the air

Music every where

I dance..I hop

I jiggle and I pop

I sing aloud,

And I hum in my breath

I hear the sound

I feel the rhythm

I don’t know

How to stop

May be I don’t want

to stop

I jive and I rock

I jiggle and I pop

To the music

The music of nature

Look at the trees

All green and grooving

Kissing the wind

And hugging the sun

Swaying to the tune

Of being one

with the nature

Each leaf is glowing

Each flower is smiling

Each branch is jiving

Not willing to stop

They shiver and they rock

To the music

The music of nature

Look at the birds

All cheerful and lyrical

One danced on the tip toe

One sang

One crooned

And one bowed

All poignant in rhythm

All cruising together

Forming a bond

Coloring the sky

Soaring and roaring

Moving and grooving

They jiggle and they lock

To the music

The music of nature

Look at the rainbow

So pure, so white

So colourful

Yet so light

Each color embodying the next

Each color filling the raindrops with zest

Each color sparkling

Each color absorbing

The melody of raindrops

The harmony of all white

And the peace of all colors together

Each color singing

Each color wiggling

To the sound of pitter patter

To the voice of nature

They cuddle and enfold

They form and they mould

To the music

The music of nature

(C) Juztamom
This is playing as a song in my mind even right now. I wish I knew how to write music. I would have written and saved the tune forever with the words.
