Elixir of life

The beauty in Malaysia,
like that of a bride.
The smells scattered like whorls on her visage,
the exhalation when she sighed.


Stopping by the farms,
growing rich red strawberry.
Dazzled by the smell,
like a heaven-struck fairy.


The poignance of that moment,
still afresh in my mind.
Blogging about it,
is anything but a grind.


Like iron to a magnet,
I was stuck to the smell
So sensuous the scape was
that I just had to dwell.


The smells throughout the travels,
eclectic and natural and aromatic 
Of petals, breeze and grass,
makes your heart acrobatic.


The terracotta mountains, 
turquoise waters around
The natural beauty served,
Knows no bound.

Dancing like a lunatic, 
the brain dispels misery
Like a pauper's resplendence,
when he comes across a treasury.

The effulgent sunshine gels,
the hibiscus and lavender.
The moist air fuses the smells
so subtle and sombre.

The dash of cool breeze,
coming from the sea.
The zen of the flora,
setting you free


A point on earth
where the yin-yan meet
A kernel of heaven,
where divine scents greet.

 
The poet awakens within you,
inspirations galore in kind.
The nostrils are spoilt for choice
as the soul engulfs the mind.




The picturesque gardens,
the hypnotic highland.
Malaysia is a vibrant flower,
in the world of garland.




The meditative environs,
you absorb all the vibes.
These are the days you yearn for,
the days on which live thrives.





So evocative were these travels,
like entering paradise via slide
The inhalation of scents felt,
like cryptic eyes of a bride.
