Rose the color of midnight
Falling from a silver sky
Lightly dusted with early snow
And wrapped with wind awry
Blue rose dipped in thunder
And gilded with purple blood
Awakened from timeless slumber
Arisen from a sphinx-like bud
Its shapes and forms are fluid
Its essence changes every hour
With every passing moment,
One beholds a phoenix or a flower
But their shadows are strangely solid
and held captive in the light
yet remain the almost-seen and seldom known
subtext of the night
- was planning to recite it at the Open Mic at Prithvi. Couldn't make it in time. The bookshop has a sale, though, and it was charming to read Hindi classifications of books too: 'Naatak', 'Kavita', and 'Anya'.
