Lured into a bakery
By the warm smell of bread
& roasted coffee beans.

Blush
Her powdered cheeks
A gush of wind
Caused her to sneeze.
War Scene
On a bloodied war field
A breeze of sand buries
The deserted bodies.
A Scream
Silence of the night
Was broken by a
Shrill distant scream.
Eternal Love
In her tranquil gaze
Her warm embrace
Lies his eternity.
Gathering Pieces
Her family was broken
She gathered pieces
Every single day
& put them together.
They would fall apart
Every single day.
With tears dropping from her eyes
She gathered the pieces
All over again.
With a single hope,
That some day
They realise through her
That no matter how difficult life gets
You need to keep aside your weakness
Put on a brave face
& keep your loved ones content.
Rhythm
Her body like a wave
Danced to the rhythm
Of his heartbeat.
Handwritten letters
Will always continue
To be romantic.
She found a stem
with a tiny red bud
Fallen on the ground.
She took it home
Placed it in a glass of water.
Next morning,
She sipped her coffee with a smile
A gorgeous full-blown rose was by her side.
Orange & Purple Love
He stood outside with a smile
& a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
She was over the moon
Her eyes brimmed with tears of joy.
She whispered softly to herself,
My heart will only beat for you
For the rest of my life.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
