“Hush of a storm”
Image capture and editing done by Kavita

She’s pounding on my windows
I can hear her sobs
– her nerve twisting wails –
But little does she know
that while she is wreaking a havoc
with her disgruntled sighs
I am right here
Waiting
– helpless –
Watching her tears
flood my sight
Beating the walls
of my own pounding heart
Knowing
– we’re both trying to escape –
She, from us…
And I, from me…

Dormant, not dead

Like haunting shadows
dancing in dark alleys
They spoke to me
in hoarse whispers
They told me
never to let go of them

Like famished souls
severed from grungy bodies
They clutched
at my flaming little heart
Their sole desire
was to seep deep into it

There was no escape
from their thorny vines
– no denying
their omnipresence – 

And while I melted into
their burning passion
– While I gave in to
their relentless cries –
They transformed
into a beautiful verse
– an epitaph –
on the headstone
of my wordless reflection

Fractals of breath
So carefully measured
Glazed with time
Cherished and treasured

Released with poise
Cosmically sublime
In rolling spasms
Of a soundless chime

Distilled and pure
Like aqueous glory
Untouched and safe
From a misquoted story

Caught in space
Aloof and withdrawn
Amorphous in form
Like scattered dawn

The uncelebrated magic of a sigh…
