Dry wind
swirling motes of dust
Cover me
......
Rustling silk
She leans forward
He murmurs
......
Pale fingers
counting prayer-beads
Sins un-numbered
......
He watches her,
Storm rages at the window
She turns over

life's moments captured in words, who needs photos'huh? :)
snapshots they are indeed...almost haiku like...and how serene and calm they are...they have an inherent quietness at their heart that appeals to my melancholic soul...
moments are best captured in poem. You're invited:

gulnaz, you're so talented.
So many things can be understood by saying so little. Amazing !
It's interesting how you have narrated what's obviously a very intimate/sensual/private experience through the eyes of a third person...
Love the sensuousness of the 1st stanza...very very nice!
Its beautiful,sensitive,soemthing very tentative about it and well expressed.I loved this!
"Pale fingers,counting prayer beads,sins un-numbered "
i was the firstone to read this when u posted it,but then i had no owrds to describe what i felt,because simple words to describe the beauty,and i am not so good to analyse that:)
keep writing
I feel as if I've intruded on a serious moment in a play or a scene in a movie. The characters are caught in the moment like a fossil frozen and etched in rock.
I liked it.
Missy, thanks...but don't they say a picture is worth a thousand words. :)
Anil, almost haiku like but not quite...i cant handle its rules. thanking you for saying that it touched your heart.
M, beautiful mind....boy that is the most wonderful compliment, i have ever got! but i don't think its fair to claim it...nah...;)
stan laurel, thank you for inviting me to your blog...you are the poet...i just appreciate poetry. thank you for dropping by, hope to see you around here more often.
the woman, and woman you are so kind! most of my talents are quite useless actually. :)
bablu, understanding is not a function of verbosity. someone told me that i tend to ramble and that i must learn to speak as concisely as possible and hence the attemp. :)
Geetanjali, Merci M'elle G. ;)
Jyotsana, thank you for appreciating it so much. :)

.:A:. thank :):)
be thankful for this poetry site
where you can say….
whatever is in your heart
be grateful for freedom of speech
though many proclaim it
you won’t find it within their gates
as you experience the release
of penning your love, joys, sorrows
indignant anger and fear
be thankful it won’t be deleted
like it is some places where
they hate the truth and your liberty
be thankful for other poets
who share your vision and honor you
as an artist and a person
and are supportive of each other
you can express you political views
without fear of retaliation
and speak of your faith
without censorship or persecution
when poetry is unbound, appreciated
we all gain, be thankful and stay free
