‘a love story- a harmony / of, / shadow of light / playing /hide and seek’

- Santasree Chaudhuri

Engulfed Love

Dancing Hibiscus,

beautifies

already eclipsed earth

rare cosmic trance,

a love story - a harmony

of,

shadow of light

playing

hide and seek,

amidst

musical vibration of primordial sound

flowering the infinite sky

alluring the moon,

dreamy stars

to join

the ring of fire

slowly aligning

in yogic romance.

Buddha’s Daughter

Every night I turn into a butterfly

loving the blue moon light

I fly, fluttering up in the sky

to meet the honey bees resting in their beehives

interlocking combs near Adam's peak

I bow to the

sacred footprint

Buddha left - in the sacred mountain

of lucid dreams.

Nirvana

An immersive art installation in the silvery sky,

strawberry moon-delightful garland of glazing stars,

contemplative shimmering lights,

the super bloom, ultimate bliss,

a spiritual landscape- against the backdrop of infinite void,

gripping emptiness of cosmic meditation;

mysterious milky way - many paths - profound philosophy

mystical silence of a purple night - royalty, grace, liberation.
