Rainy Season - Carpe Diem's Tan Renga #3 "

The rainy season

a paper lantern in hand

I walk along the verandah

(Buson)

Light throws glimpse of a young smile

Covered in mud, soaked in rain

My bouffant beauty

To celebrate my love for you, for your heart clutched in mine

I take a vow, each little you in me will remain conserved

I will be a memoir your beauty deserved

I will freeze all the moments

And frame all the happenstance touches

Heirloom of our love,

Your perfection and my Imperfection

The Monologue of our winks

The dance of our grins

Everything that my heart observed, everything that my eyes saw

Will remain etched in my soul

The Oodles of your laughter, near the willow

The reserve of your tears, on the pillow

Osmosis you were, Punk I was

Beauty you were, Nerd I was

Now I stand near the riverbed of your mirage

See you saturate and camouflage

In a butterfly

With Singed brows I look at the sky

To see you soar and transfuse into nature

Your core transparent, devoid of any humor, without any whimsy.

I tiptoed to reach you, you were not there,

My extended hands returned empty

Kingfisher

It took a flight,

Sun heat nesting in blue;

Only to hit the cage

Enigma

You are an enigma

I can’t wait to touch u;

Life within me

----------------

Deep blue eyes;

I jump in the riddle

Only to drown

----------------- 

She is unknown

He extends his hands;

Enigma solved

----------------

Enigma of rain

I stand with my arms open;

My soul is drenched 

Written for Haiku heights. Prompt: Enigma
