Glass by Neetu

Glass

I tread softly
in your world
mindful of my footsteps
on the fragile glass
of your emotions
fearing the crack
one little slip could cause
breaking my own heart
without blows
without words
in a silence
deeper than
death

Wisdom by Neetu

Wisdom

tonight
the silk moon weaves me
into its silver streams

the day
creased and gritty
washed, dried
folded away

this moment
I linger in solitude
caressed by that moon
so perfectly round
eyeing me through
the window

a wink
I think I perceive

the acceptance
lulls me slowly
to sleep

Winter Solstice

December 26, 2024 by in category Poet's Day by Neetu Malik tagged as , , ,

Winter Solstice

don’t tell me how much
you love me, not now


when days are fragrant
with lavender
and the earth’s pulse
throbs with the beat of every heart
and I hear yours

make no promises when
the scent of moonflowers
rides on the night breeze
through the window

wait until fluttering wings
have flown south
the sky is muted
and snow has padded
the ground
until the air wears
a winter shroud

tell me then how much
you love me
on the longest night
and if       you’re still
by my side
