The warm golden ray peeking through the window Kissed me, gently, tenderly, sweetly With it, it came- her lover it seemed- the warm aroma of earth. The two came into my room Holding their hands, As one. Slowly moved my bedsheet over, Caressed me, and swept me over to my verendah. The drops in the air Embraced me And I hugged it back- it's fragrance took me to another world- with no worries Petrichor- the wet soil's sigh On seeing her companion- the rain. He's the thief of my sorrow And my soul, But his heart is already stolen by the sun rays So I walk, taking in the scent of someone I can never belong, Following it's trail Immersing in it's reminiscence For I know, he is only there for a moment. So that moment I cherish, I hold it close to my heart, And I keep it deep in my soul.
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
