A very-soon dedicationA Poem by Avani Chhaya
Puffing a cigarette on the outskirts of the windy-cobbled path
Beneath flakes of white petals The salt-and-pepper hair Greased into imperfect waves of an unknown certainty Shuffling the beaten black sneakers Casting sideways glances with light-brown eyes Parting thin lips in a wayward smile, creasing parenthetical dimples Carrying an ever-so-soft, unbroken love Tripping gracefully into compliments soaked in sincerity Breezing into the ungrounded future, whirling past the present Questioning the year's expanse filled with sweeten moments Blowing ant-size problems out of proportion only to become muddled with the world's burdens Not daring to be influenced by the weather Shaking with uncontrollable lust in darkened bedrooms Raging into a tightly-grasped passion keeping company with regret Walking with a casual laziness, indifferent to time's quick stampede © 2011 Avani Chhaya |
