PINK LOTUS
At morning I bloom to fool the village
Bearing no sins of your ways.
Yet at dawn,
I am left clinging on to the light-
Holding on to the day
When the village is watching-
When my soul is free
And freedom is a dove.
But until victory is mine
And my love grow wings-
I fold up my petals
To shield the darkness of your love.

I've grown so accustomed to reality, I fear that I have become one with the others in this robotic world. Slowly, day by day, I can feel my soul begin to wilt. One petal, two petals, a corpse composed entirely of wilted petals. Perhaps in another lifetime, and in another society, I will get the chance to live the way that they do in the movies. If not, then I guess I will have never lived at all.

The fallen petals of my heart,
asked me if I was still alive.
~muskan..18 2 1
I still tell these rose petals,
That you'll come back and rise again,
In my drenched heart,
You'll bloom again.

Read MoreA single rose blooms in the spring shine
Radiant red radial petal ring
Entices every child
Entices every bee
Until those petals shrivel so dry
Until those petals wither and die
Bleeding pigment of crimson tide
Into dawn of polluted skies
Decaying green leaves
Decaying tonight.
Arid wastelands and bloody seas
Grit and dust chaotic in the breeze
Bones crushed to ash with marvelous might
Veins of leaves are parched rock streams
Are desolate valleys
Unslakened flies
Feast on decomposing peat
Feast on decomposing life.
Radiant pink radial petal ring
Loses luster gleam
The leaves cry yet the dew droplets dry
Draining away in the light
The spring shine so bright
Bleeding hues of swine skinned sheen
Into dirt and nutrient drink
Decaying gold leaves
Decaying of height
Falling downside
And petals wilting
Lower the brown head and raise white
Until those petals quiver so shy
Until those petals curl up beneath the darkening sky.

Thanks for editor’s choice ❤️@mirakee
Thanks for liking the post@ writersnetworkSun peeped through the blue canopy
waking up sleeping earth’s beauty.
Rays of hope morning walked in the field
folds of petals promised high yield.
Sparrows bathed in wet soil of paddy
while sprouting seeds watched in gaiety.
Twittering birds evoked long lost
melodies,
applauding dawn’s ethereal beauty.
Such are the ways of nature
to teach poets……
to sow , to reap and nurture
Summer poetry……..

Be like the lotus that emerges
Out of the muddy mire
Whose petals open wide
To the world around her;
Her friendly face speaks of survival,
Of mystery, of life or rebirth;
Be like the lotus that grows gracefully
Despite of the swampy place she's in.

Plucked
You cannot pluck her petals and wonder why she can't pull herself together.

Pushing up daisies
She loves me, she loves me not.
Each limb plucked, a muted scream.
I still call them my petals, but she chose to bear the seed of another man.
So away I plucked at her remaining petals, putting an end to this family tree.

Love of petals, the sun, the moon, the mountains; now i have made my home at your feet, your stars, my birds, your waves, the waves all my days, your eyes on my lovely face; love, come, love, and stand beside me on the broad plain.I love you so much, and love so well that i give to you nothing of your kind. love is nothing but love, i confess. love of yours is nothing but love;
Roses falls down, the sun is gone, the air is stale. this is the house. this is the car. this is the house all the people who have moved here have lived here for a while now.Under a tree the birds sing, the roses grow rich, the trees sit up. the grass grows thick, the animals lean forward, their fur raised, the birds grow rich. the flowers bear fruit, the animals lean backward, their fur raised, the birds grow rich.

When petals abandon rose
I deliberately stumbled down to street where fragrance would have you hypnotized for every flora danced on with a rejoicing music that the vendor tuned in, there! There was a bouquet of bloomed and sun kissed roses with dew on its very petals , the bouquet could be handpicked by the beau who would turn them at the closed door that caved in, for the purpled sky will be forgiving the confessions. Why petals abandon a rose?
Maybe wilting has always caused weathering of every thorn and while watering, it would prick the petals, for petals said us, "we would be in your vase till we are fallen black and till your fingers are pricked, those tiny droplets of blood will remind why thorns would warn you", "can't you abandon me", rose exclaimed.
"No, Cause love always reigned the last petal but until then you would be kept in the vase to witness the little spilling of unfaithful romance into the waters poured in and when you touch you would see retaliating rose with an anger", petals expressed disgrace, Maybe the person who abandoned you may not come back but their fragrance will never leave the rose. Were we pricked by the thorns?

Petals of courage
Let me go, before I die completely.
Let me go when I say I want to. For,
Many months it has been a struggle
To keep our sanity. For many instances
When you were done saying rude things
To me, I sat in my dark room thinking of
Ending every possible thing that is alive
Within me. The outside world always blames
Me for tolerating you but no one comes
And shows me compassion for being
So brave. Yes I am brave because the way
I love you, no one can. You can't even fathom
In your afterlife how much damage you have Caused me.
So, when I say goodbye, let me
Leave silently. I know you would not
Comprehend what is love 'cause you're always
Preoccupied about your problems & principles.
But dear, love is what you get from me on a
Daily basis. The one you didn't ask for
Yet you keep enjoying & receiving the warmth
Because it is abundant in nature. You can't value
What reaches out to you randomly. Even if you
Know, you would never take an initiative to
Change an inch of yourself because you feel
It's useless. Yet, I love you. I don't claim it.
I simply do. But please let me go now. It is
Getting darker both inside & out. I do not
Have much time before you and the darkness
Consume my conscience totally! When I count....
1,2,3,4.... You slowly let my hand go off.
If you can't, watch me slowly move my hands
Away. Do not stop me. I'll go. I'll go forever.
You sit back & enjoy all the warmth I left behind.

- grotesque @childauthor_345 thank you so much.
- childauthor_345 Most welcome
- grotesque @pikachoo_8 thank you!
The flower which you gave
got crushed and shattered.
Because I held it way too tightly.

Blame me not for the thorns I grow,
And the walls around my heart today;
When the countless dreams you stole,
Like dead petals on a tombstone lay.
Promises made with that single rose,
Morphed to thorns in morning light;
Blooms we plucked to count our stars,
Just ashy remains of a blaze too bright.
And brick by brick, the castle we built,
Came tumbling down from our cloud;
You broke my dream, I broke my heart,
And a world collapsed with not a sound.
So blame me not for the thorns I grow,
And keep my heart safe and steady;
And though I am loved by many dreamers,
Not a single dreamer will be loved by me.

Read MoreI go around and I come back
From the old city streets
The lights that are still on
Those were the nights
I remembered
How he told me tales
Old photo gallery
Unregistered memory lanes
I walk around and I come back
The aroma of the lily
About the one I heard from him
I still wandered to find one
That was the bench he sat
He painted the petals
Yellow green and gold leaves
But I think he told me once
How much he adored lavenders
I walk straight to the stall
Stall that sell hats
I buy one and I come back
He wrote stories of lives
Hat maker's was among his favorites
I run into the bar and I come back
90s old and not so popular song
He played guitar at the right corner
Which he claimed he did sing it for me
Only once, now and never again..
I uncover I read and I close
Now the winter is near
It was last year's December
Love overflowed in his letter
I love and I unlove
I miss being loved.
