His memories had the scent of fresh gardenia
My heart is the graveyard of his love

-

You treat me like a gardenia
In a bouquet of red roses
Along the curves of petals
I have felt a strange heat

The flames of passion and
The fires of yearnings enwrap
Buds of masked desires sprouting
From the ashes of hope

I gently tread on the edges
Of the fragrance of possibilities
Collecting dew drops from my eyes
To douse your blazing heart

Inside the furnace of your eyes
A single gardenia still blooms
Cajoling me to sail through fire
Into the sea of surrender

I now know that love wasn't
What combusted my heart and soul
It was denying you that made
The fire engulf me as a whole

-

Gardenia
Masculine fragrant
Sprouts buds blooms
Allure charm love cure
Runs riot yields
Beaut feminine
Flower

-

Unstitched yearnings now lie in tatters
On parched grounds of yesterdays
Still with bewildered eyes I weep
Chasing spectral of silences into the yellow mist
With ragged hands and soul I measure
The distances between two nothings
I watch demons of hope with lights in their hearts
Casting mysterious shadows over my skies
When suddenly I stumble upon a tomorrow
To watch the death of drunken stars falling as rain from my eyes

-

Memories dappled flames
Rise and wane
I kiss the breeze
To further ablaze
My aches

I ink the tomorrows
In the shades of sunset
The fires now sleep
Dissolved in the colour
Of the twilight

Under the scattered notes
Of a broken song
I fall into the arms of
An everlasting melancholy
To drown this night
Again and again
And again

-

With a ray of sun twisted in my hair
With a beam of moon around my waist
With a few stars on my lips to taste
I walk into an unknown land without a care

Through the holes in the mirror I pull
Distilled memories of solitary nights
Unfurling the strange riddles they ignite
With glistened eyes and a heart full

I sow a dream somewhere along the way
The skies are yellow and the soil is blue
I find an eyelash on the petal that as a wish i once blew
A melody falls from the skies turning my stone heart into clay

-

The Blazing Flowers

Flowers of your memories rained
From heaven that night
Eclipsing the silvery waves
Of the stormy seas

Under the fragrant blossoms
I heard the sea weep
As I let my tears dance naked
On the shore of broken dreams

The hurt of my heart turned
Into an uncontainable heat
I watched the blue smoke of fate rise
From the flowers in the burning sea

To ashes and dust I have left
My remembrances of you
One day they will fill your eyes
Making you burn in this hurt too

-

Your poetry adorns

My night sky like the stars

Some falling as wishes

Some dying as hopes

-

Like a flower
I love to flair
Hued white
Yet so bright
Or any other
Amazing color
On my petals
Rave as metals
Smiling in light
Also in mid night
In aroma of delight
Flying as a sprite
Beauty to share
Humbly as a flower.

-

There lies a redolent flower
Every morning at my door step
Fresh with dew drops in its folds

With the undying thirst of the night
My parched lips taste the meloncholy
Of the eyes that over the dewy petals had wept

I fill the vase with anguish spilling from my eyes
Concealing the love that blossomed against all odds
And letting it bleed into my heart's depths
