With You, forever

"I would be dusted,
Cleared off in ashes one day,
But it would only be the flesh,
That I loved you,
Loved you beyond imagination,
Imagination of the heart,
Would stay back as a memory,
In you, with you and around you forever."

Shyla

The first drops on the soil
Inundates the air with
The earthy aroma
And her intoxicating beauty
As if she was young again
Fresh and green

Leaning on the terrace walls
Dripped in the first rain
I quietly watch over to my side
Where she is smiling at him
From the corner of her eyes
Reminding him of her charm
And he returns her a flying kiss
As the breeze touches her
She hides her face and moves away
But he holds on
To her hands
Still soft and shivering
Like their first meet
She taps him with poise
And he says in love,
"Shyla your hands look wrinkled.
Are you 16 or 60?"
She giggles like sixteen, replies,
"You forgot again ? I am 72, dear."

# Shyla, the ever young sweetheart

Haiku - Weaver

This is my second year in A to Z April Challenge 2014.

After the enriching experience of 2013 I decided to continue yet again. And this time more streamlined. As I was learning to write 'haiku' I thought to make it my theme for this year's challenge. I learnt haiku with a image is far more captivating and so I will try to combine my haiku with a relevant photo. I am sure with so many experienced poets participating in this challenge I would get the right kind of feedback for my haiku to improve. There could not be a better forum than A to Z April Challenge to get readers and reviewers for your work. I am thankful for this opportunity to the entire team.
