Roses in the Sky
Roses entwine me
in their embrace.
Pink, red and white,
they climb on the wall.
Twirl. Twist. Stretch
till I become
a part of them.
Passionate blooms
that reach out to
kiss butterfly lips
with honey,
coat with nectar
thorns that bleed
love — potentate
of kingdoms to come,
of fate. What has been
decreed? The drops
fall with honey mingled.
Will they colour with wonder
a world that petal by petal
unfurls into a full-blown bloom?
Life struggles to paint roses in the sky.

Pages
Pages
Unfold like petals
Of a rose --
One by one,
Singing a song,
Mingling the past,
Filling in colours of present,
Touching the distant future
With unfurled drifts of smoke,
Wafting from
Bits of wood
Set afire by
Hope of better days.
