The petal said
I miss my dear colour
the lovely coat of red
that it yester had
has faded today
into yellowish bred
I loved the colour
it hugged me a lover
now, it is gone
gone is gone, dead is dead
i am on the street
trampled by dust and heat
the leaves loved their green
little did they know
that the green will fade away
green and leaf inseparable
they were born together
like eyes and sight
but age and fate
decided who go with who
soon a day of storm
took away the pride of the calm
and swept by the hands of morn
leaves lost their hoods in shame
lost is lost; cost of life it's gone.
the sandy beaches too mused
silent waves are singing loud
for them to hear, to rejoice
blue skies hummed in response
it is to kiss the heavens they dance
yet, when the last quake tremored
and waves zoomed into large demons
and hell came into earth licking all
did they sing, music was dead
yes, music of death it's voiced every bed.
lalitha iyer
