Poetry Reads: Auria by Snehith Kumbla

Ahoy, Wolf here. It gives me unabashed joy to present before you, dear readers, a poem written by me, titled - Auria.This poem first appeared in the May-June 2012 issue of the Reading Hour magazine.

Evening has long descended and fortunate circumstances have led to a rendezvous between lovers. The poet wishes for the world to be reduced to a hush, night to blanket every intruding light, such that two beings dwell calmly in their cocoon. Gentle, unhurried, cosy, velvety - in the cloud cover of these feelings does the poet meet the woman he adores. Eternity prevails.

Auria

by Snehith Kumbla

may the eyes of every

slithering light be blindfolded,

my love is here with me

may the night be

as quiet as a village,

my darling gently dries her wings

let no thought betray

no stone pelt a shiver

my dove goes visiting a dream

hush now, oh deepest

of all fathom, the
world floats on a heartbeat

all things done, undone,

things indelible, leisurely

things, now discarded

a parting feather in flight

descends...

her beguiling bejeweled body
