Do not be ashamed of your beauty.
It won't last long.
It is the beauty of youth that fades away
like a song,
that withers when left
love-lorn,
that like a flower is born
only from the stem
to be torn.
Stitch
Koshur Qalam challenge prompt 4 poem by Dr. Koshy AV
When there was no stitch
left to cover my victimhood
between those who had pawned me
and those who thought me the spoils of their gambling
you stood as a blue cloud
surrounding me
saving me
"Extend the border of your mantle
over me"
be I Draupadi or Ruth amidst the alien corn
listening to the nightingale
be you Krishna or Boaz
in the ancestry of the line of the chosen one
Jesus
"Cover me"
Pebbles Jan 3 Koshur Qalam Challenge Prompt by Dr Koshy AV
My life is a
Handful
Of
Pebbles
That lead me
To their source
My home
The rock
From which they were hewn
The water in which
They were smoothened
Fashioned
Cool to the touch
Fair to the eyes
An imaginary sweet
In the mouth
Memories
Pebbles
Light of God
Refracted bands
My many
Pebbles
