Mist of Mysteries!
By Maya Dev
On golden sands
between the layers of
silvery stream waves
wet quill writes untold tales
Incessant gush narrates
epic in shallow voice
no presence witness
prolonged, untired task
On shrivelled shores
pebbles re-read stories
to share the musing
with migrating birds.
The serene script
bloating and floating
bubbling with wishes
meandering on waves.
In its obvious merge
identity gets sacrificed
while embracing
dark ocean abyss.

Divine Silhouette
By Maya Dev
An enchantress bathes in fresh dew
Shrugging off night’s fatigue as tender rays
She is a sunflower bloomed in morning grace
like a danseuse’s charm in poised posture.
Her smirk conceals on the curve of her lips
Her innocence spilling freshness of dew
She spreads sweet vernal perfume around.
Her laugh is enigmatic and echoes windstorm
It travels whole world and fades eventually
in the distance as rippling ripples of mystery.
She sings melodies in nightingale’s cadence
Spring chases her like an euphoric lover
She is a paradise found in vagabond’s dream.
Her fingers long and tender as creeper
Her touch exudes elixir and heals wounded in hush
Compassion of ocean concealed in her eyes
Her emotions mirrored and pour as monsoon rain.
Barren heart gets fertile by solaced wetness of her love
She is an epitome, a living enigma of eternity
who lives as an exemplar in the bubbles of moment.
Her raiment pristine glow of moonlight resonates
and camouflage darkness from the clouds of night.
She is a divine silhouette, a perpetual fantasy,
Poetry of a poet, who reigns in the hearts forever.
