unheard

The sound of bells ringing
Tickled her soul
The sight of birds in many hues
Made her heart smile
The flowers in full bloom
Kept her company
Beautiful melodies flowed in the air
And the knock at the door she longed for
Went unheard in her ears

The heat

The heat piercing through
Penetrating every inch of the body
Excruciating each cell

Cassia Fistula- Golden shower plant

The unbearable pain
Manifesting itself
As dazzling golden flowers
In the height of summer
When the world is so cruel!

Thank you for the magnificent blooms
For showing
How the best of creations comes
From deepest of pain! 

When

It's when your soul burns like a wick
When everything inside you melts
When you forget your religion and yourself
That god enters you without pausing
To check your name, your face nor your wealth!
