The River

The river starts flowing again 
meandering its path boldly out of the sea 
at a high tide, defying gravity; 
now a bit salty, no more streamlined, 
it flows with a turbulence never known before

The Sun

The sun shines atlast, bright and dazzling;
blinding me to everything else
its rays kissing every bit of my skin,
As I greedily drink it in, scorching my throat, blistering;
lying back on the hot fissured ground, in a timeless bliss,
I relive the dream endlessly;
slowly dusk sets in, the retreating sun more beautiful than ever
as it leaves behind the longing for another day, another new promise

Another new shade...

A bitter sweet chocolate,
rich and creamy, satiably sweet;
a fresh new flavour, perfect and nourishing
yet every single time,
as the last bite melts down,
leaves behind a twinge of regret

The Fire

I was playing with fire,


smitten by its reddish blaze;

with a deep mysterious core

the heat was warm, tingling my senses;

melting and uncovering the cold crust of my heart



but the fire soon turned cool and blue,

I dared it to burn me, scorch me to ashes;

as i sought with vigor, it went cooler and darker

the blue flames no more soothing, leaves my heart colder than ever
