(An ode to Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius, for you!)
Po(em)me for my Casula!
How I found that playful innocence
in you, as if I called my childhood back, in you!
And forgot the rigours of the physical pain I was going through
while you were with me! It is like tears that become pearls,
with just the magic wave of the wand of pure love!
I remember, how you would come to my bed,
to check me out in the middle of the night!
And leap with great love, at dawn, when I awoke,
to greet me with that endearing lick.
And how your eyes celebrated my acknowledging you
with the remark of: `Good Girl!’
O Casula! How fragrant is memory(?!)
That we can miraculously conjure it up at will,
at a mere thought, again and again! This love, that
doesn’t bind, but nurtures, so that when it is lost fatefully,
it gets more expansive(!), like a growing tree with deepening roots!
And I watch you as you lower your head on my writing page
to absorb what I am writing(!) And then you turn your head and
lick me on the face!
