Uma Sankar

Let me turn to a dewdrop
That falls onto your lashes, to break apart..
Let me turn to smoke, misty smoke
To touch those lips and merge onto you...
...

Whist in my couch, I lay carefree
Floating Mind - wandering freely
Lilt - familiar for years, a nightingale!
Heard for long, over breeze and gale!
...

Disintegration... I'm going through,
My limbs yesterday, torso today,
My head, may be tomorrow.
Painful, is it? You might ask,
...

I am a woman, A Woman -
With a heart - it beats, you know!
Good or not, I know not!
What is good? By the way,
...

My wings are clipped, feet tied down,
A caged bird, that's what I am.
And as I trot around "my" cage,
Yes, I can, see the vast blue sky,
...

They call me a rose, a red rose!
Scented, with essence of deceit.
Is it that, to me I pull those bees,
Bribe with nectar, heavenly sweet?
...

Silent song, creeping chill-
Upon the fall of twilight ….
Cloak of darkness wrapped upon-
He arrives, the majestic night!
