Reverie by Neetu

Reverie 

Shall we dip our brush 
in the deep blue dusk 
so we may paint joy 
we stole from  
the passing day 
before it grows dark? 
 
No, I think I would rather 
wait for the red sun 
to draw bright rays 
across our canvas 
and let them dry 
into permanence.

Symphony by Neetu

Symphony

all I hear is this song…

carried to my ears upon waves
as they ebb and return
a symphony of love
played on instruments
of the heart—


those harps that pull
me into the ocean
teach me 

to ride the waves

Unwanted Companion by Neetu

Unwanted Companion

I wait eagerly
for absolute darkness
to lose my shadow

it troubles me to
feel its presence
grow, then diminish,
but not disappear

I grow weary of its company
walking close
beside me, before me,
behind me

an appendage that
speaks its own
language 

formidable in
eloquence,
eerily chained to
my heels.

Stagnant by Neetu

Stagnant

I drop pebbles     slowly
watch them fall
in a shallow stream

it runs cloudy
under such a pristine sky—

they ripple
and disappear 
from my eye—

but I know

they lie trapped
in murky debris
that rained down

from angry clouds
