"April is the cruelest month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing / Memory and desire, stirring / Dull roots with spring rain." - T.S. Eliot, "The Waste Land"
(It's how you see the month to be)-
He who had dearms to achieve the sky
Has reached the heavens
While the clouds celebrate the arrival of a pure soul with happy tears.. his loved weeped for his loss..
Let him enjoy freedom which he lost on this land..
Let him fly away from this unfair world around....

April
The first records of the term April come from before 1150. It comes from the classical Latin Aprīlis and may come from the Etruscan apru, meaning “Aphrodite,” the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
Aphrodite is often symbolized by roses, doves, and sparrows, all of which would be visible and vibrant during April in the Northern Hemisphere.-
The burning coal under the ashes!
She was a burning coal under those ashes..
Who's destroying herself by overthinking caused by all the pain she endured..
And then came the messenger, who's trying to blow away the flying ash, just to see its potential to ignite fire in others'lives
The coal thought it wasn't so easy to detach herself with those ashes.. little did she know it was the easiest task a messenger was appointed for.-
Silence. Silenced transmission of
Pressurized good-breeding. said Wole Soyinka

My experience teaching this Poem
And my student's question..
Made me write this...
She just asked me about my experience of getting silent, and instantly I could get that moment rewind in my brain.
When he said, "we are friends right!?"
"Do you have anything else to say!???"
After 6 years of being with him.. and him knowing what my feelings are...
I felt numb! Now I write this with pain and regret from my past 💔-
I saw people change this year ... I saw my change this year ... The change which I dislike.. which made me suffocate.. the change which taught me patience.. and the one which drew boundaries ... That change made me cry and the same which held me tight... I saw someone soft hearted become a rock... And someone who's a rock turned flower..
Though I don't like it ... Now I accept it....-
