a shared mosaic

a shared mosaic.

threads
intertwined
bind

him
her
you

&

i

together.

earthy
shades
colours

hues
fuse

him
her
you

&

i

together.

one mosaic

one world
one race

human …

him
her
you

&

i

together …

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
