yet it remains where it was
hours ago the sun was low
sifting through whites and yellows
now this ball of orange has
flown from east to west
I keep waiting for dusk
this skirt entangles my feet
can you get it hemmed again?
A silver line!
An iota of love
a pristine flavour
one little angel
one ray of hope
one single rhyme
one letter says all
one single gesture
universe in an eye
another cloud
a silver line
one more flight
in ruthless sky
a bird in nest
warming an egg
an arrow through
an aching heart
a straight path
felt apart
a gala gait
went astray.
I saw the moth stick withered away
loosing out on my plants tender white shoots
I replaced it with a new fresh one
it planted itself tight and captured all with pleasure
now the green glow on its leaves was such delightful sight
that you never forget to stand by and feast your eyes
then one day I see water oozing out and I see the crack
I rush again and replace the pot with
a new red shining bigger and healthier one
and now again my plant was luscious and happy
then one day I found some ants eating at its leaves
and I knew its time to change the soil
I did that and the same one has a new shine again
every time I put some manure
it says thank you and blushes anew
the same one had been with me I forget to count
turns new with every new gesture and gives me pleasure
this little simple single green plant of mine
has taught me so much of life!
I am happy!
Years went by yet the memories of that day are still vivid
sitting near fire I felt cold and you came by
I smelt your warmth we embraced
we both cherished each other
till the ambers went white with coated ash
and the next morning was so futile
you were nowhere in sight
I looked and searched around
I waited till I fell down fatigued and drowned
in the lake of my own sorrows
I knew you were gone
gone forever for your signs were wiped away from all directions
you were hidden like a phantom who tore my heart to pieces
it ruptured and cried tears of blood
I silenced myself with my fist in my own mouth
yet each and every pore of my body yearned for you
it called for you to return
it cried every night when I put my head on my pillow
and said aloud dearest!
you came into my life
you taught me to live
made me complete and left
I owe it to you my love!
for you know with a bleeding heart
I can understand better what it takes to be happy!
