Romancing Like Alice

 

Romancing Like Alice

 

I feel like Alice who fell in a pit,

And went to a magical wonderland,

I, too, fell but in love with you and

Reached a place I never planned

It was a terrain of sweet dreams,

A frenzied land of desires

Where first hint of romance I felt

And touched the passionate fires

This happened when by chance I

Looked in your eyes and evanesced,

Detached from ground realities,

In the world of fantasy I entered

Your eyes were the portal where

I moved in and quickly vanished

Into exquisite Eden garden, which

For me with love was furnished

Your laughing eyes invite me

To the dimly star- lit night sky

They whisper softly suggesting

Me to spread my wings and fly

The magic of your eyes inspires

A divine love in my heart

I dream and yearn without fear

It’s your gift of a new start

Sudha Dixit, was born and brought up in UP. Presently settled in Bangalore.. She is doing what she always wanted to do - painting landscapes and portraits & writing poetry / articles on net and various magazines, including print media. She looks at nature with myopic eyes & paints it wearing tinted glasses, with poetry in her heart. Poetry just happens. It acts as catharsis in her life, removing the toxin from her heart in the form of words on paper. It’s therapeutic. This high- spiritedness reveals itself in both, her poems & paintings.
