Burnt patches of beauty

scars are beautiful, they promised

it is testimony.

and she wore them like jewels,

burnt patches of persistence-

not crying out, not dissolving into mush

move on move on, forward forward.

the silver lining will show

the scars will turn butterflies

someday soon, she promised herself

she will come out mighty fine

as strong as a brick gone through a kiln.

Hide not, disguise not, she resolved

let the world know-

scars are beautiful, it is testimony-

of what happened,

of fighting through.

Drenched in midsummer sunset hue,  

returning home,
I drive with the petrichor in the air,
already I smell her jasmine studded hair. 
 
I hear the soft tinkle of the anklets,
as she hurries to find me at the gate,
a smile of relief greets me,
I laugh- what danger is there?

Old is gold, like a silly joke

At the end of all things old, scraping for the leftovers,

a window of opportunity- to save or not to?

A place with no space, why hold on to bygones,

urbanization observing nostalgia will do.

Great things made by hand, pictures only proof,

Children will forget,

old is gold? What a silly joke, they’ll say.
