season

For Nisha, Mariyam, Rushali, Varsha and Bless <3
Also dedicated to my fav music channel on YouTube Mammal Man <3


season

 if they stay through your spring blossoming,
 and while the colours slowly bleed out of your leaves
  and you're left with scars of senescence
 and when you're stripped and raw in your january winters;
 then they're worth keeping.

school

For Swathy, 
who misses school much more than I do.


I miss school.
I miss morning assemblies, and hymns.
I miss march past and dramatics practice.
I miss seeing the quadrangle filled with with screaming children.
I miss choir practice, and exchanging lunches.
I miss sneaking food under the desk, and lime juice from the canteen.
I miss tests and record work, and walking in the corridor.
I miss the whispered secrets, paper notes and the smell of sharpened pencils.
I miss the friends I made, the memories we created.

prayer


I pray that-
 you learn to live:
 and learn to let go;
 I hope that your heart
 does not cloud your judgement,
 and that you learn
 freedom has limits:
  and that true beauty is in the
 kindness in your eyes,
 the curve of your smile;
 I hope your feet find the road you are meant to walk;
  and that your heart finds the stories you are meant to finish.

assurance


I found my weaknesses while I was
 looking for my strengths;
 I found pain when I was looking for joy;
 and that's when I learnt that you will
 never truly know strength unless you've been weak;
 you will never know  joy until you've felt pain.

sunflower~



sunflower

 like the sunflower;
 with her crown turned towards the sun,
 her soul anchored in strength
 feeding on eternal light;
her scepter pointed to the sky. 

A/N: This one is full of metaphors :) I hope this gets to you <3
