Ashes of the burning flower, playing with thorns,
Smoked my love away,
Colors fainted, and the rainbow sighed,
Leaves wilted and petals cried,
But the odor carried, the same essence again,
Nursing the buds,
The dew did not made the fire, burn the hopes away,
Hoping the rain to fall some day,
Fragrances united, with soil, like soul and memories remained,
Cried and cried the pot,
Remembering the days, when it held the pride, with flower,
Brightening the days, when every looked,
But all the way, the potter, the gardener, stood poker-faced,
Not letting a sign of pain,
Not even a line ache, passing the forehead, straight, FLAT!
How can I let this happen to me?
Am I strong? To even mutilate the pain, of burning, own?
Treacherous came, crossed the way,
Open eyed I saw all the game, defeating myself, with my rules,
Autumn splendors and fruits are bright,
But still the destiny, remains the same,
Wilted! Black! & Death!
Burn my stact, my soul, to ashes, to pain,
But let a dew cover,
Nurse my buds, & carry the fragrance, to the world again.
Show me light,
A smiling face, blushing flowers and rising sun,
I want to remove,
The curtains, the wall and look behind the smoke,
Out of the water,
The bud ready to bloom, free of ashes, which are now serving,
It in a very own,
Protected by thorns, among the green leaves,
Hidden below the wilted world,
Still unknown, to final fate, which waits,
With the potter, with gardener,
Holding a matchbox, high to their face, ready & sure,
To fire the world again!
I wrote this poem during October 03, without any reason, I do not know how, probably memories can never be out of my thoughts which beckon these words, come again and again.
