Shade

Sometimes the ache

overwhelms your heart

All alone

On the green fields of sun

It finds solace in the shade

 

Harvest moon

And in the haze

Of summer’s last sigh

She lay content

On bed of wild wildflowers

Under the harvest moon

Wondering if he saw it too

Abstract illusions

Clouds on water

Floating dreams

Of abstract illusions

Branches

And some days…

she mused with the skies,

Writing poetry,

in between the branches of life.

Happy World Poetry Day!

Happy Holi to all celebrating, happy to be published again in the festive riot

Holi is the festival of colors, people celebrating  also celebrate the arrival of spring during this time …I was invited to write a piece for the online magazine Festive Riot by my good blogger friend Suparna. Please check out her blog if you haven’t already!

Below is my holi contribution on Festive Riot:

 

Splash, the color of happy

Splash, the color of spring

Splash, red, green, blue, yellow

Splash, and let your heart sing,

“Holi hai”

Rejoice in this canvas of colours

Scatter your joy in the wind

Embrace the love of humanity

Embrace the heart of spring…

“Holi hai”
