Bitter Fondant

Dipped in a dark black sweet
chocolate

pain


Trickling like honey
crevasse of

Heart


moon kissed lips waited
dew drops to

quench


silk like silence embraced
thorns inside

dance


rainbow of happiness
couriered love

Letter

    Yes, it used to be letters on snail mail. But email still serves the same purpose! What is important is love is extended! Wonderful write Arathi!

  10. I liked the 4th stanza particularly; for thorns, stickers, burrs can be infinitesimal, yet still perceived & felt. If love is the common denominator in the universe, as I believe it is, it makes a fine host for your impressive response to the prompt.

  13. I think the tilus is a perfect setting for your poems. The stark form sets off the contrasts well. See, now I can't eat dark chocolate and not think of pain. :-)
