The Poetry Issue 2023: Two Poems by Ambika Ananth

Be My..



Be my sanctuary
I surrender unto you
Everything I have
Everything I know..

Be my summer sky
I will melt into your warmth
I’d be for you ever

Be my deep blue ocean
I will disappear in your colour
I reunite into your depths

Be my cool zephyr
I float into you like sweet memory
I breathe you in, till eternity

Be my song and dream-
I write the meaning of my life
As we walk through the realms of time


Cascades 


My love started small
as a hushed fresh water tidal river
Then,
the waves started to ebb and flow..
Gurgling in big huge excited voices 
Large estuaries formed 
to send robust echoes 
to your receiving heart
fecund and fruitful 
My vulnerabilities vanished
in the brilliance of our union
You became my love’s armor 
in the fight with the world
Now I am on a giant leap 
Let’s celebrate together 
the heights and depths 
of the cascades of our love
