Lap Of Love Poem by Reshma Ramesh

Lap Of Love

Rating: 5.0


Dead flowers
Call me,
Beckoned,
Their scent
So sweet,
Lure me,
As I walk,
In the air cold,
As cold as death,
Red flowers,
Red as my
Bleeding feet,
Feet in the air
The grave I lie
Grey with ashes,
Wet with tears,
The flowers
Die in my lap
Lap of Love

You sing with a poet's voice, Reshma. Your words entice, seduce, cajole. Your images are unique and true as steel. And you never say too much. Your lap of love finds the grace in melancholy. Great poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
