THE WAX-BOULDER I made you an empress of my heart's castle The towers on which doves of trust nestle The curtain wall has your name enshrined With gushing river of my love the moat occupied Your gracious smile each stone in the high wall admired Flowers of committment on the ramparts bloomed Draw-bridge on its bosom received your foot-steps Great hall in your welcome threw royal banquets Your image in intricate weaves, set at the high- table My prayers for you, echo from the holy chapel Emanates the scent of my love, care and affection, For you the potpourri of my respect, sacrifice and devotion Savouries of my feelings cook at the hearth in the kitchen Castle yet defenseless!!painted with unconditional love With stark acceptance for the way you are my love But your rejection of my love, like gun-powder ripped through this fortress Bleeding stones and my weeping soul stand the witness ! ©Manoj Kumar and Anulaxmi Nayak collaboration,2015 For contest: Partner Up Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Date: 27th August 2015
