Reshma Ramesh - Forbidden Path

The forbidden path I walk
The rain heaves and the sun leaves
Gloom, looming beyond my back,
In the twilight of life,
I am on my knees, praying in Lassa,
For the horizons to meet,
And I wait for the ascension,
Sighs and tears proscribed
My love for the cocoon, verboten
Under the tree of knowledge, I rest
Pandora's dreams, I dream
My lips and your kiss in a collusion
My moans covets for those hands
I trust in variance,
Passion effuse, I am frazzled,
The moon hides and refuses
To walk with me on the forbidden path,
on this forbidden path of love

Reshma Ramesh
