The Dawn









Afore all I awoke, silent
Leaned against the sill, stubborn
To behold your egress
From behind the hillock
With your maiden beams
To get caressed, I beckoned
O Master of the platonic game
You hid, I sought, brushing aside the curls
You still hid, I still sought
Lest I rage, a while, you then rose
Higher and brighter, vivid
I smiled at last, pacified

Egress = Exit

(I'm a bit confused now.. wasn't this about the rising sun??)

I think both of you are right!
Egress-The act of coming (or going) out; becoming apparent.

Nice one Rashmi! I usually don't understand anything written in the form of a poem, but this one was an exception! :)

@Nero,
Yeah, Egress means 'Exit'...exit from His Abode behind the hillock to grace the sky!
Convinced or not, as yet?

@Enigma,
So, you usually don't understand 'real' poems! Me too. :)
Thanks for the compliments.
