Standing drenched by raindrops
Falling from a slate sky
I am finally ready
To spread my wings – Continue reading
‘Raindrops’
poetry
Ocean Floor
As I hold the seashell up to my ear,
I hear your sighs once more,
Willing me to join you
On the ocean floor. Continue reading

Wed me not because
You must through obligation
But for real, true love

Watching the sun be
Swallowed whole by a vast sea
Gives one perspective

Jealousy can turn
The strongest of bonds into
Empty promises.

Haiku about love
Since last one was so popular (and no time to write much more!)

Love’s rosy glow can
ease those daily aches and pains
like nothing else can.

Haiku about rain
Radio silence for last two months is because am planning my wedding (I know, there is always some excuse!) – but here’s a silly little something (my first haiku!) to get back into the swing…
…
The rain will not stop
Endlessly drip dripping on
Summer optimism
…
Fellow dwellers of the island I call home will understand the above sentiment…

Poem: ‘Jewelled Disguise’
Painted lips and kohl lined eyes
Henna covered hands, a jewelled disguise
In a bride’s body, a young girl sighs.

Random scribbling, not very heavily revised or edited, inspired by a (don’t worry, happy!) wedding I attended in India.

Twinkling Lights
Twinkling lights everywhere –
Strung through the streets,
Draped over branches, and
Winking in our windows…
Steering Christmas gently
Into our waiting hearts.
‘Contemplation’
I am at the edge
Of a cliff face.
An ocean of possibility ahead…
A woodland of security behind…
And the wings of responsibility
Dragging behind me.
