and a rain clad hour,
will you read?
The other day,
those beggars had cooked on the road
and I collected a fist full of left over ashes;
want to send them as well.
Those people, the villages, surrounding forests,
and the incessant trickling of a silver stream;
I will send them all.
Will you remember to read?
Also those moist memories, the dejected hours
and the purple patches of half hearted promises?
Till now I had kept them all
piled up in my poems.
Also those moist memories, the dejected hours
and the purple patches of half hearted promises?
Till now I had kept them all
piled up in my poems.
Yesterday,
the child tore apart my book of poems
in mirthful glee.
Anguished years and suppressed moments,
plenty of crystal tears,
all, in bits and pieces,
were flying around in freedom
like tiny dove wings.
I am sending them too,
and also the child’s triumphant laughter.
Will you read?

Well Moon, you done it again. A fabulous write with stored images I always see what you write very clearly indeed. Can never tell what the child will do can we and thats what I love about the child so spontanious so liberating :D
C D,
Caught up with pending reading. Your poem dedicated to your late friend is full of memories. Thanks for indepth write up in your tryst with history. Errors made in past do surface in our mind when we are in pensive mood. This one shows how one wishes to let the love know what goes on in mind.
Take care
It reminded me that song from a movie Izaajat..."Mera kuch saamaan tumhare paas pada hai"
moon sways
Wonderful and delightful poem !
My friend, I miss your beautiful words....
Hope you are well. :)
Hi dear lady - I am waiting - impatiently for your next write! All work and no play makes jack a dull boy :D Hope all is well Moon :)
Also those moist memories, the dejected hours
and the purple patches of half hearted promises?
Oh WHERE have you been my friend? Finally I have found your link and I will continue to read and and be filled at the well from which I drink when slurping from your words. Your phrases are alive and cause a yearning for moments of deep inhalation...thank you, Moon!
