My Poetry Compilation

  Ah finally, the carnival of colors is here The sweet scent of gujiya and gulal in the air As I put on my old white shirt and head out Armed with seven hues I look out and scout Premises I pass with flying colors all around With iconic holi songs blasting in the background Slightly swaying to the sound, I spot familiar faces Noticing my unsullied face, one quickly approaches I splash shades of pink at him, evading his balloon showers And we dance to no end, soaked and cladded in colors The fragrance of festive food and drinks is intoxicating All of a sudden I notice an old friend secretly passing Picking up my pichkari and aiming it at her, I spray While laughingly shouting “Bura na mano holi hai!”

“Hey do you remember our first date love?”   “Ah yes! I grin like a child whenever I think of How you confronted me leaving me flustered At the audacious way you coyly whispered If I would like to go on a romantic adventure Enamored by you I shouted ‘With pleasure!’”   “That night was so scuffed and full of disaster How did it turn out to be the best day ever? I always hark back to your sweet blushing face Smiling skittishly and trying to keep up with my pace Our hands intertwined slowly as you walked me home And I felt like a blessed character in a beautiful poem We halt, standing inches apart as you bid good bye”   “And we shared a passionate kiss under the night sky Far from an ideal date yet so close to the heart And now i cannot fathom us ever being apart"
