Blue skies remind me of your eyes
those sparkling gems of happiness
my soul outrightly lies
Whispering all this will last forever
I smile, at least for a while,
Ignoring the rest, that moment alone
lasts longer than years on its own
A rose petal melted
And put on your palm
colour was crisp red
Destiny written in blood
We met at the train station, it was so good to see her after such a long time. Her beautiful eyes had hints of longing, slight irritation, stories of years passed between us and some satisfaction to see me in good health. She asked her errand boy to give three beautiful marigold flowers to me one by one, he said to me each time in Urdu ‘yay-lo bhaijan’ which meant ‘take this brother’. We instantly laughed hearing that, knowing at least two other ways to interpret ‘yay-lo’. I was home and life was beautiful. My mother gave me a hug and jail time seemed like a distant past.
Love flowers
for their colours
sweet smell
smiling sacrifice
generous heart
how they part
with their love
when bees want
their blood
how they make
sapiens smile
feel content
healing
emotional dents
with their scent
they lend and lend
till their last petal
Cool dude, cool dude
Give me a big hug
Slow and patient like a slug
Comfort, kindness are not rushed
Love for one another is not hushed
I would gladly, but
you should have brushed
and quit smoking pot dude
as you become, touchy feely extra smelly
Hourly, daily, acting silly
The reason
colour exists
water flows
birds sing
grass grows
spring comes
flowers blossom
sun rises
moon shines
mere stare of a lass
absolute divine
