In To the Arms Of Twilight~








This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 44; the forty-fourth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. 



Young lovers
link hands
run down
a mustard field,
the recalcitrant yellow harvests
kiss them in callous haste
the day is at its end; so
before a natural dusk sets in
           --engage them
in one crooked love-dance.
The figures oscillate
             without volition
hearts contract passions
                         nudge them to notice
a twilight spraying
               -paradigms of love
Love thrives on
             ...in slow romance
                 -it grows, rolls, strengthens;
intoxicating air, full of spicy, tangy odor
touches the pinnacles,
 two keep rolling -outspread and quivering
like little love-birds
               until they’re furthest
                    from release...
          he begs
she cloys
               two hearts:
lose no time in wiring together.
Caught in the final moments
of exuberance- the light dies…
                  escapes the frame 
  with impish delight

    1. Ow..DDLJ was a lovely movie, Abin...and it is one of the movies that depicts the beautiful backdrop of a lush yellow mustard field of Punjab especially... the song sequence here, "Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jaana Sanam", shows their blossoming love, while the setting adds a nice touch to the romantic scene....
      Thanks so much for that beautiful comment.
