Love Poem: Puppet
Ravi Rajan Avatar
Written by: Ravi Rajan

Puppet

You control my life like a puppet; 
commit arson on my fragile nerves, 
shatter the lanterns of my soul, 
rob the dreams of my mind. 
  
You swim through my bluish veins; 
play with the waves of my blood, 
pluck the flowers of my soul, 
hunt in the forests of my dreams. 
  
You dance inside my throbbing heart; 
rivers gurgle out of my fingers, 
sun drops ooze out of my eyes, 
fragrant trees run barefoot towards me. 
  
You caress the shadows of my soul; 
clouds glitter in my radiant light, 
flowers blossom in my barren life, 
my poems become fields of poppy and mimosa. 
  
You unleash your magical weapons on me; 
create violent earthquakes in my life, 
lock me in the prison of your eyes, 
and take the keys away with you.
