The sky reddens and so does the sea

and the horizon catches the molten gold.

The evening comes in like a fury;

behold its territorial glory.

The splendor is melting fast

with the onset of the dark.

Stand steadfast on the shore,

digging your feet in the sand.

This moment, the shadows

are migrating

from the coast, inward towards the land..

It's dark, dark across the land

and soon the sea will be swallowed

by the night's gigantic shadow,

ominous, sinister, the shadow of the night;

it will come like a pirate to plunder the sea

and gather all the gold in its vast folds'

Let me stand awhile, on the darkening shore

a witness to the reddened sea and the sky.

A Tribute to Purnima Dabholkar

Desire responding

like a flower in osmosis

taking in slowly

the touch, the feverish grasp.

The absence.

A traumatic loss

of the proximity.

The flower

without age.

After a spell of withering

a tide of yearning

calls.

A waste of beauty

can be frightening.

The beauty without a mirror to know its magic

without the seeping rain, absorbing sky,

and without the earth to take it in.

Years go by as the Desire renews the Body

feeling a shower of kisses

falling on its soil

The typing of fingers

stopping in wait,

for the emerging note

from the warm cavern .

A mermaid rises

pressing her palms

against the water ,

Desire rises.

Sushama Karnik.

 Tantalizing, inward, calm,

gazing like a Narcissus at self.

Posing, but lost.

Stunned by the dazzle, chooses to stay

in shadow,

aware that a candle

is enough to set on fire

anything that comes too near.
