A romantic dream in my head
Lived thousand times over
Sunset concludes scene-
How to make choices
With different strokes
Showering love over fields
Bestowing wrath to deserts
Warming up to fruits
Shying away from whites
Like a new bride
Even the sun knows
What hue to use
To colour the world
If only you knew how
to colour me
I would call you
....my SUN 🌞-
A really brave thing I did was
Give in to the treachery called Love
Not every grain of sand
Will hide your pain
Though mud will at least blur it
I wouldnt settle for that
And then there is Salt
That mingles
with the chaos
Creating a dish
palatable.
Love was my Salt.
So I thought.
Blending you into an
already pressured vessel
Mixing you up
With my textured life
Oh ! I know!
It was too much
Even for the likes of you.
No matter how much
You've tried
Salt doesnt easily
Loose its saltiness.
And it cannot be separated
From its generosity-
Of such Love
There had to be
Divine intervention
For I am a sore thumb
Will jump at any chance
To rivet anothers fault
But you are that
Pink lily
Whose fragrance
And presence
I need to feel
for sanity
and hold onto an aura
Of such Love-
when you sit on it,
gently as a butterfly...
even a seamless stone
assumes the shape of
nectaries in a carpal-
Autumn winds
I even crumbled myself to pieces
Just to hold on to you...
By way of attention seeking
But then the zephyr
Stepped in with 'her' perfume
and blew us both away
In different directions
I know...
I chose a fatal strategy
But...
Didn't anyone teach you
That you shouldn't remember
someone by their scent-
Siphoned off the better parts of my heart
Leaving the festered bits for self healing
Decrepit promises
Guffaws at perjurers
'honorable' Pursuit.-
Avond (evening)
We, Pie-eyed, so into each other
Sloshed with muddled memories
Found Liquid courage
On sandy shores
Of the Red Avond Ocean
It was our Giggle Juice
Our Tipple
Our Moonshine
I took not the time to stop and enjoy~
Gulped off that cup
like a Bubbly Shooter
Childish.....Nay.....Foolish
Meanwhile
You veiled me from torrents
As if it were Poisoned Hooch
Saved me from Rotgut
Yet how?
Before our Nightcap
Could that identical Avond breeze
Sweep me
into anothers lap-
