Basant

Happiness incarnate
is a bunch of kites
dancing in the wind.

Manacled and maneuvered
by human hands
and made directionless
by the playful breeze.

Held captive between
two indomitable forces
of heaven and earth.

Look how they find
a moment of ecstasy
to dance their happy dance.

  2. ...and behold how beautifully and craftily she writes and so gently she sways you through the pain and the pleasure, the craving and the satiation, and the inevitability of the invincible that it falls incumbent upon me to ask her email contact for further correspondence, for it's only rare that one stumbles upon a living soul capable of invoking a keen sense of a vast landscape where exists dainty realms of fine ecstasy that seems to be meticulously carved out, which she calls as mere jottings of her stumbling strokes. :))
    have you ever thought of writing/co-writing a novel ? :)
