Poems
THEME/S
Shiva
No clay-dream curves with rapture
The lips of that lone face:
A film of unearthly light
Has blinded the gaze—
A light which bears no colour
Of transient love
But falls from a silver secrecy
Caught high above
The surge of heart or mind,
A virgin blaze
Of beauty carved to a crescent moon
Smiling in spirit space.
Though calm the countenance,
A warrior-will afar
Slays every shadow with this smile
Of heaven's scimitar.
