Love & dance

She said, love,
like the sunrise every morning
had entered her core
and lit up her senses so 
she became the sunlight.
She said, love, like the floods
after the heavy rains,
had washed her such,
she flowed in the mud and
sludge to make new lands
where all those who had left,
came back and built their homes.
Love, she said, broke into

a dance in an auditorium,

where harsh lights in her

eyes,

didn't let her see

if anyone was watching,

or was she all alone

in an empty hall,

performing for her own sake!
