roller coaster ride

never again she swears

in the labor room

—Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

petrichor

the room overflowing

with his laughter

—Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

heatwave

seeking refuge in the temple

a butterfly

Mohua Maulik

mother of six

resettles between the books

kittens

Mohua Maulik

typing since dawn

i snuggle into the warmth

of a kiss

on my shoulder...

sunbeam

—Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

Alpine mountains

through the mist

cow bells

—Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

first storm...

searching for the shirt

he is wearing

—Mohua Maulik

hostel gate—

a gust of wind scatters

the empty nest

—Mohua Maulik

north wind

the banyan tree grows

its own prosthesis

—Mohua Maulik

at the forsaken house

i step on a lizard

the tail

still squirming amidst the ruins

of our chapter

—Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

our watches

side by side on the dresser—

the widening gap

Mohua Maulik

trailing a finger

over the shimmering

still waters

unaware of the storms

that lurk below your façade

Mohua Maulik

planting

peace lilies in beds

overrun

with the same old

unresolved grudges

Mohua Maulik

Mohua Maulik

jasmine scented

autumn breeze

rustles the hibiscus —

yet my heart is uneasy

thinking about tomorrow
