A dry lily-petal
Posted on June 12th, 2009 by Avinashi
Water was everywhere
Root-shoot
Where not?
Didn’t it nurture ?
Gave life
Gave Blood
Gave meaning
But then
Why’s the petal dry?
Arms of leaves stretched…..
Eyes of blossoms sparkling…
The love that’s swarming within..
Why doesn’t it come out and soak everything for good?
Why’s love failing me?

You have wisely created a “metaphysical ” poem Avinashi..
Water to Petal to Love…the combination is quite unnatural…however the sense..and feeling of the poem is superb…
