All of a sudden
A thought of creation
Possesses your head
And letter by letter
You sow art in your soul

You water those letters
Again and again
The seeds become words
And they start to glow

-
With your mind in a flow
You write flowers on paper
And let them bloom
Your effort is shown

Oh, all of a sudden
A poem was grown
Far away across the seas ...
Oceans and mountains...
Crossing all walls and barriers .
Where the dates dance in bunch
To the tunes of the Arabian breeze
Goes my heart...
To meet the beat of my heart...
And celebrate togetherness !!

When the window of the eyes gets tired in the monotony of everyday views...

The wild mind sleeps to wake in peacock dreams...

Of emerald foliage, mahogany woods, lavender fields and the mazarine sky...

To console the heart in promises of a future...

Full of rainbow colours!
Breaking the monotony!
Just something random! :)
Thanks for reading ❣

The beauty of nature lies in it's imperfections...

A crooked branch, a deformed leaf, an unformed bud or a wingless fly...

Why do we then strive to be perfect?
Celebrating imperfections!
Thanks for reading this! ❣

preferred pie over cake,
and briefs over thongs.

A fervour for fashion,
But not a fan of
The Flour War,
nor her ghastly wrongs.

Poufs and panache?
Imprimatur, for sure.
"That's entertainment,"
said the brochure.

Affair of
the diamond necklace,
such a coup.

A material girl,
how about you?

Now remember,
how comely the rose
when she was so rich and red.

But also the onus
to how she lost
her pretty little head.

What do I know about death
not much

except that I almost died
three times

the first time was the hardest
the other two were pretty easy

ghostly pale wide-eyed with a lanky face
nocturnal and it hunts

on buoyant wingbeats in fields
and meadows

so what do I know about death
not much except that I almost died three times
