Missing Beauty




Like thrill
from thunder
and streaks of lightening 
beauty of dried roses
and twisted thorny twigs
splendour of  
fire lit mountains 
against the cold night sky 
wish beauty visited 
me 

Not like in 
the pleasing
coo of a baby
colourful splatter
on an artist’s canvas 
exquisiteness
of a fine lady’s china 
or a well painted face 
but in decayed trees 
covered with mosses
small white flowers 
growing on a tomb
and candle melting into 
perfect beauty 
unconsciously 
where it stood

Roses are red

                                                                            www.bakati.net


Roses are red 
red hearts that bleed 
lie limp in lights that fade
faded eyes speak 
of heartaches, hurt and hate
hate blinding lights, dead ends, 
narrow lanes suggestive of cruel intentions
intentions and intuitions played dead
and let blind hearts hit thorns
thorns red roses grow 
are aimless lovers' bed 
where they shed torment and pain
pain which every heart knows
pain which swallows mirth 
pain which roses permit 
pain red as roses 
pain are thorns 
thorns and roses 
bled the hearts
