memories of Ma …
bygone yesterdays
ploughing through
wisps of time
rekindle memories
of days now long gone
of evenings filled with birdsong
my Ma calling me home
for warm roti
cardamom chai
( sigh )
Scribbling Verses …
scribbling verses
on her bare back
my fingers
rhyming
each flourish a caress
etching odes to hope
across the canvas
of warm skin …
her breath
inflamed
seeking
fingertips
lips
sashaying in the evening breeze
dancing free
abandoning trepidation
what do i know
as
fingers flutter
over undulating peaks
valleys
softly
gently
as soul meets soul
she who is
half of my whole
she who remains
my perennial
meditation
embers
sear
our open sky
rippling strings
bound together
like
falling stars
strumming
murmured melodies
emblazoned across shared tapestries
alive with colours
earthy
and
green
softening the stings
of all that was
all that is
all that has been
the duality of time …
time
erodes
loves lives hearts
souls spirits selves …
time
mends
wounds
souls
a salve
a balm
knowing
in the end
there is always
only
stillness
silence
peace
calm
