Poetry by Madhavi Tiwary
LOVE’S GIFT
I gift you this little village -
Which now has the sheen of both the worlds
For two mortals in immortal love
Happened to pass through it.
Dull lanes glisten with glory
Scorched trees have moist eyes
Cacti turned Veronica
Rusty roads stand a singing
Desertous fields dance -
To the heartbeats of newborn buildings.
The devilish orange of the sky
Only rains pink softness
Aimless urchins exude hope
The old look forward
Dreams replacing nostalgia
The young are lusty again.
A sweet breeze has blown off -
The veils of womanish misery
Smiles escape covered faces
Fingers twitch with eagerness
Feet have started walking
Heads at the right place
Hearts are exchanging abodes.
Fertility has wedded the sand
The village has an orchard of life
The mummied humanity
Now drinks from the vineyard of love.
This little hamlet, a freshly alighted piece of heaven
My love, I gift to you.
About Madhavi
Madhavi's first rendezvous with writing was at college. Her scribbling - which she fondly called 'poems' - was proudly and regularly passed on to the like-minded class mates. They would exchange the little slips, dubbing them 'data' in the psychology class, and savour each other’s badly cooked write ups. After about four years of such expressions of passionate thoughts, there came a grand lull in her writing. It took a decade for Madhavi to pick up writing again with zeal and zest and, as a result, in the past few years she has written over fifty articles which were published in the editorial columns worldwide.
