Kamini

Dawn caressed my eyebrows.

Cold water washed away lingering dreams.

Kamini

Awoken by the silence of the dawn.

Cold water again came to a rescue,

Washing away unwanted memories.

Kamini

Unbeknownst to me

Crossing paths

On a busy morning

Like a beehive in motion.

Visions locked,

Dragged and stretched

For a moment that multiplied twofold.

Kamini

Seemed like celestial waters 

Sent down by Jupiter.

The Queen of the Night —

Adorns the dark river of silk

Gently flowing under the morning breeze.

Fragrance of Jasmine

Trapped under the waters of the flowing silk.

Kamini

Unbeknownst to me

River of silk —

Flowing beside the

Painted windows of vision and

The gates of speech —

Elegantly obscures the peaks of Mt. Pillows.

Fluttering silken flags

Printed with Lotus petals

Delicately imprisoned the Ūru twins

Only allowing occasional exchanges with me.

Kamini

Unbeknownst to me

Gates of speech

Widened gradually

On every passage.

Words exchanged.

Kamini had her play

With the words.

I introspected

Like an ancient seer.

I saw.

Kamini

Would have seen too

From her window of vision.

Celestial waters

Flows without a pause.

Kamini flowed.

Perhaps the waters redirected.

Kamini

Vanished.

Kamini

Unbeknownst to me
