A tender heart bleeds
Mellowed pomegranate wine
Connoisseurs of love
Making luscious memories
Delectable afternoons

Life


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 6

Time swiftly rushes by
Leaving silver in my hair
Worry lines buried
Many furrows running deep
Battle wounds on my forehead

Memories


#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 5

Let memories shed
Like caducous filaments
Not burrow so deep
Into the crevices and nooks
Of my shredded, bleeding heart

Fatigue

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 4

Just like yesterday
Today ends craving for rest
Hustle has consumed
Moments to pause and reflect
The mind is stunned by fatigue

Embers of summer

The Semal Blooms
Photograph taken by me in Delhi – Semal  flowers

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo 2024, Day 3

Crimson semal buds
Burst forth on tawny branches
Against languid skies
Bearers of the summer’s heat
Destined to be burning dust

Semal, also known as the silk cotton tree or Bombax ceiba is a Spring-blossoming tree in India. It has spiky red flowers and fluffy seed pods, which contain a cotton-like substance that was once used for stuffing pillows and mattresses.
