The shades of skin- glowing like April mornings a soft warm tone of Gulmohar tree upon my eyelids- a doorway to oceans, two pebble eyes
Open in the open sky This tree a meteor of clouds to my mind to remind me of Earth, soil and home. Gulmohar tree- pockets of cellophane wrapped on its bark to bloom something more
tender, quiet roar of women.
I see leaves, rustling with leeks and violet rays uttering a dialogue of beauty of dark violet raisin pressed between my palms, This tree has me. As a whole another Goddess As a whole another memory.
Gulmohar- your orange red hair blooming backwards
As if life slips from you easily, So softly as a lover's touch.
You have a staircase full of outgrown desires You leave it and let it slip
through tunnels of gargantuan clot.
Gulmohar-
You speak and yet you look quiet. Sharp, eccentric noise of fallen leaves.
