bittersweet the mogras

coffee shop -
the flavour of her voice
in every sip                          / Gautam

bittersweet the mogras
sold by the schoolgirl          / Brijesh

lingering over
the evening rush hour -
summer sun                      / Raamesh

bleeding from the barbed wire
the coat you wore last winter  /Paresh

nothing left behind
except that last
goodbye                          / Rohini

I step into the morrow
of my dreams                / Gautam

from the tulip garden
stolen petals
and kisses                   / Brijesh

bridal veil the colour
of magic on her lips       / Raamesh

with cross stitches
we add a full moon
to the night sky            / Paresh

sketched in pen and ink

the group all smiles    / Rohini

Ku on the theme of "Water"

 drinking up a mountain of ice tea — summer heat Holi advent… all the colours of the water guns neighbour’s plants — Amma’s acrobatics to water them potted plants — we redirect or neighbour’s A/C drip after last rites resealing the pot of gangajal summer forenoon sparrows turn our dog’s bowl into a bath (Published in Cafe Haiku on 04/04/2021 for the theme of "Water")
