My Dalit Wife

Darkness of moons cavities

Angelic in its shine

Coruscating glimpses of rainbows

Dancing within a dew drop of wine

My Dalit wife : Of pink corals

Harboring riotous colors of fish

Swimming within the beauty

Of sunshine's sweet dish

My Dalit wife : plectrum on a zithers chyme

A melody of life, honey castles of my mind

Cadence of love song, a beaver bird building nest

Stillness of an oak, a snake charmers rhyme

My Dalit wife : A pedantic lover, Mother India's tutor

Monsoon dance of peacocks flutter

Elegance of a swan swimming on the floe

Tea leaves in a golden pewter glow

My Dalit wife : Her smile a new bud in the morning light

Votive of a wind instrument in silent breath rising to angelic height

Her voice a song spun with a gossamer thread

Swimming in the air of magical flight

My Dalit wife : Of pools of lark, heavens of mynah,drunkenness of humming bird

Of Devi's eternal vision, mountain peaks of snowy jelly fish

Languid songs on a laundry line in colors of a wish

Blessed in the suns rays, twinkling warmth of beatitude words

My Dalit wife , unrelenting magnanimity of a saints despair

In love with the silvery springs of bubbling air

Seeking virtues out of darkness crest

Finding love to feed from her sumptuous breast

My Dalit wife :curvaceous like a grape vine

Turned into intoxicating wine, drunk am I at her smells so fine

Aromas of hyacinth and roses forever wrapped in my mind

Wherever I go, it's vision Devine

Her breasts of amber, her body of silk

her panting of a leopard, In a heat of huntress kill

Like two eyes of a cat, forever shining in the dark,

Like a chimera who sees everything but emits not a spark

My Dalit wife : a somber awakening by a morning flute

Of passions calmed by nights fruit

Impressed into my heart the marks of her delight

Forever waking to a wondrous loot

My Dalit wife : trellises of her heart strung to heavens strings

Of Gods virtue , a demons flight

Simplicity of her words, incisors of faith

Of magnanimity born from caresses for each life's sight
