Shweta Patke

It stood with effulgence
Wrapped in a red robe
With petals showing the different shades of its life
Its prepotency was like an illusion
...

Sitting besides him watching the shore

Time just ticked away leaving me wanting for more
...

I saw you staring at me
I felt at home in your eyes
A place where I can stay till eternity
...

As I sit down and write
Tears drip down my face
It’s a weird feeling I am trying to fight
I feel pushed, pulled, stamped & smothered
...

Time wizened her body
But could not wrinkle her heart
Daughter, wife, mother played every part
She played every part
...

I saw the star twinkling in that ocean
I wish it could never break and take that motion
The gravity was eager to embrace the spark in its arm
I stretched my hand and held it in my palm
...

They looked turbid
Searching for some answers
Who lost and who gained
It was a gamble
...

TREE

There it was standing wide and strong
Burning in the sun still providing shadow and warmth
...

You think I am ordinary, I really don't mind
You are always special to me you are my soul you are my man

I think of you day in day out
...

There is a lot more darkness this time
Although, there is a faint ray of hope
I am falling deeper in the abyss
There is no one to provide me with the helping rope
...

Ocean sundered by the sand
Is that seam water or land
Melee, spoony or numinous fetter
Should I call it a drift?
...
