Flame


Sitting by the window
Accompanied by my shadow
In a boring room
On a lazy noon
Deep in thought
letting time pass
Lots to do,
But I am hanging around.

Those delicate fingers 
taps off the cinders
Fuming into flame; the sparks
Slope of gold and blue and red lurks
The bold face of fire as in hearth
Blown brighter by the breath

Whiff of cold air hits me hard,
I dont know why its sad
The blue blue sky
Is dark and hazy.
I wonder why?
I want to see the bright blue sky
But I just see it dark and hazy

Lots to do,
But I am hanging around.
I am waiting for you
and the blue blue sky

P.S : Thank you Neha for sharing this picture with me :)

  3. wonderful !
    The lines and phrazes gave totally different view.
    I think it's the first time I am reading your poem.

    Is there any form of writing that Insignia can't express.??
    Truely an allrounder.!

  9. Hello B, by "avatar" I meant you as the poet!!

  10. Oh Ok!! Anil, I dont consider myself anywhere close to a poet :-D

    So when you mentioned new 'avtar'; the poet thing didnt cross my mind.

    Added to that a couple of friends have already mailed me asking if I was fine - considering my latest posts which have turned out bold and now this picture :-P

    Sorry about the confusion
