ANATOMY OF SOUL

My fingers trace the cracks in a shadow

Like apoptotic bodies lie in a meadow

As the soot of life settles in its pore

The indurated scars that were bleeding before

Amidst the crowd walk as a whole

Searching...searching... On a prowl

Veins of experience red and blue

Statistics though may not be true

Glowing with fire or fire burnt

Transformed to something they weren’t

As they wait with every exhalation

Their journey to end in salvation

Keep growing like a malignancy

Resulting apoptosis then a new pregnancy

Mutations serving survival’s goal

So is the dark anatomy of a soul.

13 SHADES OF BLUE

With strokes of brush

Soused in leathery paint

I Colour me treize

Hues of blues

Into the blue yonder

Runs my mind

Picking for my throes

Carnations blue

Cerulean paint I

Silence of my orbs

Dandelion desires

Shimmer sapphire hue

Laughter echoes

Waterfalls Periwinkle

Meconopsis curiosities

Walking avenues

Rocking plopping

Dances my heart

As morning glories

Jewelled with dew

Electric energy, glacial blush

Reflected from mine zaffre soul

Clematis colored my Aster touch

I  - a blend of Majorelle blues.

Lively n happy, jewelled with life

I colour me treize hues of blues

31ST OCTOBER – A MEMORY REVEALED

In the loving memory of my mother

Sitting alone

I have no - one known

Some years after you are gone

Again this day I memorise you.

It’s not that

I don’t think of you

It’s just that

These days I am blue

I loved you all my life

But could never express to thee

I fought with you, I cried with you

You were the best friend to be

Now when you are gone

I am all alone

Any gem of worldly charm

Cannot replace your motherly warmth

This day is like a steady stagnant tear

Chuckling down the cheek, a memory of an year

I stand emotionless with turbulences in my will

However, time may sweep away, I will love you still.
