Scorching

Anger like noon blazing
Parches all the earth below
Leaving it barren

And follow in the dark night
Nothing here shall ever grow

A barren desert
Underneath the scorching sun
Like the memories
Those of my dear cherished one
Emptied as the time spins it’s hand

The Heat

The heat wave is scorching hot
It steams like a heating pot
My hair was real wet
I looked like a pet
Whose hair was one giant knot

Unbearable sun
Ant granaries set hoarding 
Beach-side, a haven

Scorching July heat
Camel's skin and fat melted 
Yet your love intact

scorching fragile hearts blue-black

an old man told me 
how his houses were submerged 
into the Bay of Bengal at night.

A single bloom on a thorny cacti
Cheerful and resilient. 
Scorching sun beating strong
Wild flower’s heart  stout and proud
O’er the barren land.

The heat of the sun 
bears down harshly

then a soothing breeze 
will comfort overheated flesh

providng a respite of coolness
on a scorching day

I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

The Depth of a Rose

In the very depths of hell,
Lies a frozen rose in its hollowed soil,
 Bathed by scorching flames daily.
Yet it still survives by,
The love I once held for you.

I cremated you
In scorching flames of passion
His blaze a consuming fire
Now only ashes
I have no tears left to cry
The kind wind bears you away

Minds, dusts merge on a running slate
Scorching sun aloft jilted men
Warming up like a sizzling plate
Winds whirling, bodies teeming ten
Trudging on a forsaken den.
