Were I a bird
I would fly and perch
On your bosom
And tenderly peck
The pair of delicate petals!
Were I a bee
I would swarm around you,
Humming beautiful croons
And feel the aroma
Of the concealed riches!
Were I a piece of clothes,
I would wrap you
From toes to the head
Unwrapping the jewels borne
On yours!
Were I a glamour
I would glow and glow
In your demeanour
And remain glued for ever
To your crimson skin!
Were I a sun
I would warm you
With warmth of my heart
And caress yours
Melting the heated crust
Of surging passions!
Were I a moon
I would remain blinking
Winking and swoon
You into my embrace
In the dead of the nights!
Were I a door
I would shut you inside
In the chamber of my heart..
And stare at treasures
Of your beauty!
Were I a book
I would hook you to the pages
Of my fervid life
And explore all secrets
Of your dormant feelings and
Thoughts!
Were I a pen
I would write off your pains
Through the blue blood
Of my existence
With its annals writ with love!
Were I an art
I would never part or depart
From your heart
Through any drawings
On sheet of paper
Scattered in the world!
Were I yours
I would never ever croon
This crude melody
Composed by the longing
Of my heart!

A delicately wrought and poignant poetic divertissement.
A lovely,deftly-composed poem with vivid images.
The imagery of the poem leaves the reader stuck in the brightly colored visuals and the accompanying sensuous assault.
Thanks a lot Nalini Madam and Vijay Sir
