Melting Rainbow's Radiance
Last updated: Jan 1, 2009The melting rainbow’s radiance,
hidden violet topp’d:
peeping from the whisper of the ruckling sun,
with face ablazed.
A skylark wingspread and singspread with bristled blue cap passes it;
and the protected heart within those hues,
more conspicuous than itself.
O, its soft spirit disintered:sweeter than the thirst-quenching juice of Gulab-Jamun.
Him abed, it sheerly fades-like golden butter vulcanized,
till drop aft drop it dies,
soaked into feathered messengers:
that slumbers their wink of eye
-till wet with with sleepful zephyrs,
drain them in their cups;
till from overflowing goblets sprinkled refreshful twilight’s spirit:
and their honeycomb throat’s clog is burnt.
