Breeze and the Gulmohur - Post no. 5 - Blog Marathon

Lazily , languidly she pushed the leaves
they rustled, they laughed and waved at her
nests of sparrows swayed gently
the bird herself twittered in cold

Warmth of pale sunlight caught up with her
brazenly beautiful was the breeze
she paid no heed to the sunlight
kept her leisurely pace bewitchingly smooth

Blooming flowers' fragrance caught up with her
glancing over her shoulders she giggled at them
pinks and fuschias blushed at her
she still kept on with her slow, sweet dance

Cupids arrow struck her hard
she lay wounded and bled at heart
small beads of love trickled down
and she swayed and slithered
she  gazed up at the strong Gulmohur tree
who had stealthily strewn around
inviting red flowers for her to lovingly tease  and tread....

    I read somewhere, Love is as intense as death. So true.

    I love the subtle nuances that you soulfully bring out in this poem. You are able to bring out so many elements in a few lines.

    Loved this one too... Rekha.

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
