A yearning pilgrim, I trudged
took heavy steps, to embark
on sacred voyage to become
a holy rover.
Crossed seven-seas beneath
herculean skies on thin
azure waters of desires
in the direction of one
promised land.
So ancient scriptures recounts
on the holy land exist ruins of
a buoyant shrine carved out
of the postures of lovers
in acts of love.
A divine sanctuary on whose
pastel marble steps, tired
lovers embrace and quench
thirsts through locking
parched lips and sore
bodies…
A celestial reserve,where tall
minarets resonates with
the hush whispers of
the craving kissing
love-birds,
A fertile land lushed by rains
of sweltering vapors raised
from the bodies of
longing lovers..
Tempted by such promised
land, I embarked on holy
voyage to become a
holy rover.
Beautiful use of imagery here.
As you read the words, you can in one’s mind vividly see the sights being described.
Thanks Dracula, I am glad the words resonated. After Ramayana only promised land was left.😉
Hey Count I’ve been commenting on your posts but it might be going in your spam not showing!!
Sigh….
So rich, compelling, and wonderful…
As always.
Thanks , I guess we all have our promised lands and shrines to kneel. But for poets like us there is a land where live abounds and shrine where lovers meet 🙂 that’s the holy journey we are on !!
This is splendid …. eloquent writing 👌😊
Thanks a lot Sakshi, I am so glad you liked it ! 🙂
Pleasure was mine

We all are looking for our promised lands. Aren’t we?
Gorgeously penned.
Absolutely Sunil, we all are searching such promised lands. I am so glad that you liked it! 🙂
Yes we are and I like the way you word your thoughts.
I try Sunil but then when I read fabulous works of some writers here, I feel I am no where !
Being nowhere is the first step to being somewhere. But I believe that you have already crossed that first step a long ago.😀😀
That’s very kind of you, still some of the writers write so beautiful and thoughtful that it makes you wonder !
May be they are wondering about the same.
Than crux is self doubt is the key to glory , wat say?
I wouldn’t say that. I would say what you said some days before try to be better each day, glory and greatness will come by itself.
Yes I do believe that, practice makes the man petfect
And women don’t need practice, they are already perfect.😆
Hmm I believe both men and women are equal hence we both need practice !
Indeed they are. Practice it is then. Let the glory come as a fruit of our labour.😊
😊 ha ha very true
