Colours of Love: Autumn

Weary of summers past and wary of the winter to come – Autumn is a gaunt, worn veteran, hunched over on public benches. He sits with pursed lips, silently mouthing the ending of every story that begins now. As the harsh, dry wind claws the leaves off the trees, the … Continue Reading

Colours of Love: Lilac

Every evening, I look at the sky

Wait for the colours to change

To what reminds me of the years gone by,

You, me, and the lavender haze.

 

The sky is pink

The breeze cool

Even on a cold winter night

Or scorching mid-summer June.

 

I’d hate for … Continue Reading

Colours of Love: Pink

You carved little hearts out of the cement,

and I laid down the foundation of the road.

We paved the path together, and now you repent

for creating with me, your house and my humble abode.

 

Our hearts, which were once whole, are now empty with agony,

I forwent … Continue Reading

Seasons Of Love – Monsoon

Mi amor, come as abundant as rain,

Pervade my senses, render me restless,

Hold me in your spell. Do you see me swell

Akin to columns of wood, whose fortune you tell?

Beckon me from the shade, whence you dwell –

Illuminate every creature under your spell.

 

There’s no … Continue Reading

There’s snow outside yet warmth in that home felt infinite

Dancing, yet again, to that flop song

With that twinkle unexplained, those … Continue Reading

Summer Love

The Sun heralds another morning

Beaming all-knowingly with a sly grin 

As the summer breeze wafts in 

Bringing along a comforting scent 

Of warm vanilla with a tinge of cocoa

And I smile as I recall her

An alluring figure, full of wonder

Her mere absence renders my heart asunder… Continue Reading

Colors Of Love – Green

You remind me of a time when I used to be happy,

Perhaps that is why when I see you, I still smile sometimes,

You mistake it for adoration, the slight circling of hands, scaling your hair behind that follows,

Your lips stretch to free your teeth as you turn … Continue Reading

Colors Of Love – Yellow

Dear Best Friend,

I’m going to take a shot at expressing what I usually would in emojis, dad jokes, and memes in words. Keeping that old-school vibe alive, am I right?

You entered my life at the most unexpected time—my happiest accidental. When I met you, something clicked. Somehow … Continue Reading

Colours of Love: White

Many have attributed love to varied hues,

And they may have gotten their colours right.

But I only know this much to be true;

That love has surrounded me day and night.

 

Love is the colour of the sealed envelope

That my mother tears open with a haunting scream.… Continue Reading
