Silken ribbon


Quiet morning 
On the gravel of the way 
Sounds of raindrops 
Childhood days 
Rays of the sun blocked 
July is relatively less hot
Gaze at the clouds in the sky 
Bonsai on a windowsill 
Fills aroma in the air 
Shrill voice 
of a long-billed bird 
Present layered with past
Hazy window glass 
The drenched boy waves 
From the cave 

Suddenly, a new wave 
The wind blew your 
blue scarf 
We ran after it 
Both knit and split 
The moist wind behind 
Grew crazy for the blue 
Commuting 
between the transparent 
cloak and the translucent 
eyes 
Making us crazy too
A heady brew 
Unsteady steps 
A pink prep
Brink of the slope 
Irresistible dope 
Inside the cave 
Two fountains 
tied with 
The silken ribbon
