phenomenal as an
elephant. And the sky
has oscillating eyes. You
act as you’re alone. But the trees

are soldiers surveying your
home. Your lawn isn’t
velvet grass. It’s covered in hidden
mines the squirrels dig up

searching for nuts. In the air are
mirrors. On a sunny day they see clearer
than a polished shine. The red ants
march in a trance recording your

moves. By tonight you’re on
the news. Arrested for trespassing
on your property. Where is the line
between theirs and mine?

I dreamt of lighter fluid
As desert rain

Matchsticks
Stricken against the wind

Building into a phosphorus
Shower

A smiling inferno
In the fast lane

Hot cinder rims
Giving joyride the third degree

With fiscal intentions
Of burning this

Highway
Right off the map
This mountain pass is an important link from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

Honestly
When you talk
I perceive different

I listen to the tone of your voice
And observe how the lips move
And when and why did you paused
And watch the expression of the face
And see the furrow of the skin waves
And inspect when the pupil dilates
And light the glow in the eyes
And track how often the head tilts
And admire the reason of your smile
And search the roots if it's the pain

And lastly I witness
How lively you feel
When I am next to you
I see it all
Listen and nod

Just listen
As a raw truth
For now
Prescribing you
Is the inside job

Get well soon

She had the heart of a daisy...
White as milk, fluttering in the breeze, smelling of the scent of the earth...

And yet it was broken by the cruel heat of the one she called her sun...

Since then she had taken to wandering above the soil in search of her lost happiness...

How often she visited those wild flowers to pacify her blazing wilderness...!

Under a cobalt sky... Beyond ochre thoughts and grey memories... She lay one with them... As if sharing with them the moments and torments of her yesterday...

This kind of love healed her... Where even the fallen petals could be adorned on  rippling hairs...

No wonder she had got back her self...
From being a daisy... Drowning to death and being born anew as the same...

How beautiful was when the flowers had whispered that when life hurts love heals and when love hurts nature heals!
The healing hand of nature! 🌿🍃Thank you for reading this! ❤
