Reshma Ramesh Poems

You cant resist my golden curves,
my haughty angelic reserve,
I am the colors in a painter's palette,
the irresistible Charlotte.
...

She blew five candles
On her cake, angel
In a pink dress, hair
In little pigtails
...

As I sit on my high chair,
My mother, she feeds me,
With a tiny silver spoon,
Mashed carrots and potatoes,
...

Tender skin seized with teeth
magnetic rush, poetic hush,
Little bit of pressure,
Crumbs of love, slight pull,
...

Thin is in, thin is in
Bodies like paper, thin as fin
Thin as pencil, anemic skin
Portfolio of ribs, crying within
...

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
The number of candles you blew,
And the number a years that flew
...

Wrapped in shinny wrappers,
golden, red, silver and brown,
chocolate, the king of sweets,
everyone's favorite treat,
...

In all these dried mornings
And clear untold evenings
With My rambles and scribbles
My laments and stories
...

Then with the fall of every dropp of rain,
From nimbus with a grudge,
Into the lap of lush green trees,
Splash my mother's green roof
...

I have lived life a thousand years
at that one moment
when i hid in our arms,
as i looked in your eyes,
...
