Isn’t the orchid pale today or
the azure lost its hues in frosty weather
the pink lilies too
seem dull
when the dusk appears little purple than
the scarlet pier…usual
forgotten in dead remains
as ashes they scatter in dust
reminiscences of the beloveds
who died one fateful night
last summer…
again prevails the same climate
transforms the camouflage of
flowers and world
Tis the sky who alone
remembers the fury
repercussions of war
in cold blooded atmosphere…
sulks the orchid tonight…
purple appears the crimson lover
stained in blood drops
dried and desiccated as humans of universe.
..And, this verse has a myriad of thoughts – thus, apt to accord my appreciation of your ink. The transparency of humane attributes in the verse denotes the mystery of human psyche in both indivisible creation and in the naught of the visible — a perpetual
perplexity of the many ‘rasas’ expressed here !
Surely, then, you have great voltage in your writings.
Always humbled and encouraged with your inspiring words those which ignite more thoughts to pen . The backdrop of this poem was a feeling of a person who gets lost in the chaos of war and loses his/her family .
Can imagine it and its feelings
Thank you Yoshiko
