thirst

hold a drop of rain
in the hollow of your palm
water is sacred

know the taste of tears
since the very ancient times
i drink the oceans ..

romance

the fights we had had
over trivialities
was only romance

the sun could be harsh
the moon shines on borrowed light
just the romance glows ..

[ Edit : Lines 4 & 5 - who cares for the sun
the borrowed light of the moon ]

blue

with a monkshood on
he speaks to veronica
oh morning glory

they sing of the skies
the lupine and lavender
just set my blues free ..

( monkshood, veronica, morning glory -
blue colored flowers )

allow

the coolest rock band
a harry potter outing
the newest ringtone

pastas and pizzas
another icecream soda
no toothbrush tonight ..

copse

my dog is her wolf
a little red riding hood
my neighbour's daughter

losing their acorns
the woodpeckers and bluejays
the lumberjacks come ..

[ the woodpeckers and bluejays
also hide acorns beneath the earth , like squirrels ]

ocean

an ocean , your eyes
i flow with the crest and trough
but when will i drown

just funny sorrows
as i sail through the grub street
on rafts of paper

[ Ref : grub street ~ the world of impoverished writers and literary hacks.
:- after Grub Street, London, former name of Milton Street, where such writers lived ]

window

but for a window
the bits of celestial haze
just bricks on a wall

let the moon step in
waltz with the tenebrous dark
the window that's why
