S.Jagathsimhan Nair Poet Free verse

My Garden

MY GARDEN

It’s only rose rains, no reins.
in my   garden  redolent
of you preened and  green.
brainwashed  by  balance sheets ,
soul-washed  by  sour names, 
what remains as mine.
remnants ? residue?  Desiccation?, no!
a sanguine touch,  solitude?, yes!

wanted  or bonded
flushed or fleshed,
secretive or secreting
dry like a silver skyline
or wet like  winter sweat
its  contours  solemn-countering ,
confines groping in green, serene ..
come on in..

By S.Jagathsimhan Nair, 13th feb 14

For: Giorgio's Impress me-4
Motif: Romantic
