Bewitched

a poem by Seshu Chamarty

Do you remember the time,
When I offered the world on a platter?
And did I see a glitter in your eyes?
The mirthful play enriched your lips,
I missed the vein in the delicate palms,
Stared at your glistening chin,
Your cheeks twitched in pleasure,
We ran a marathon of frolic and
Together exhausted till blood came back.
I saw in your eyes so bewitching,
Gaits of tunes scintillating.
I asked for my way back as a reward and
You favored me with sunshine of smile.
Shall ever be indebted to your magic,
For I played a waiting game for many moons,
Between beats reminiscent of that night.
Let your beauty and pleasure last
Till I reached the end of the rainbow.
