I paint my lips
a bright colour of crimson
and turn on the selfie mode
and wish if you could love me
just the way my camera does

I thank you
as I hope for the pain to go away
for giving me the pain
for it has made me more hopeful
than I ever was till now

southern belle…tanka

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
with her sun kissed skin
and the flowy dress and strappy heels
the tousled honey strands of hair
the southern belle was a vision in yellow
waiting for a city boy to take her away

Life and death…tanka
we remain here
or go to a different world
we sleep or we die
there is a journey every night
there is a journey after we die

young forever…tanka
the raging hormones
the heart beating away madly
long sleepless nights
………………
wish the excitement never faded
wish i was young forever

fragrance (tanka)
it bloomed
and gave fragrance to all
then it died
…………….
so simple and pure
was its short life
