Bliss

By Sudha Nair

Tiny pockets of joy. Bubbling over

Sunflowers and honey. Warmth

Steady arms. Close. Hold me tall.

Your lips curve out as you glance

At your sleeping angels - Silence.

Mouths agape, lashes fanning out

l

Casting shadows on peach curves

Limbs wildly spun out, a tangle

Of cool sheets and tousled dreams.

Night soothes. All shades of fire

Glowing in a serene rainbow.

A sigh of heaven. All here. Now.

You stand and gaze at the sea

Glimmering puffs of mist, azure

Spores milling out. Ocean of Bliss
