Ravi Kiran

blooming

in silence

distant fireworks

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

pastel shades

she stopped using

all those words

—Ravi Kiran

the glow rises

in a child’s eyes

sky lantern

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

spring beach

the many colours

of skin

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

snow on snow

the heaviness

of longing

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

candied bacon

the ice cream flavours

she loved

Ravi Kiran

on a leaf

still holding on

first snow

Ravi Kiran

dry riverbed

it’s time to become

strangers again

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

robed in starlight

ghost of the dream

we strangled

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

when and where

to stop

eulogy

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

lighting up

the silence between us

fireflies

Ravi Kiran

Loch Ness

these things below

a calm surface

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

end of the day

a blackbird’s song

from the unpruned hedge

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

night lightning

the restlessness

in the stables

Ravi Kiran

koi pond

no sign that says

no fishing

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

rush hour

the manoeuvrability

of an ambulance

Ravi Kiran

between a beard

and the grey moustache

a few missing teeth

Ravi Kiran

Alzheimer’s

her favourite dress

for the first time

Ravi Kiran

what are the odds

of meeting you again

shooting star

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

first cruise

the destination

doesn’t matter

Ravi Kiran

 

deep within

the shifting sands

camel tracks

Ravi Kiran

 

sometimes in sync

the legs

of flamingos

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

turbulence

the art of balancing

black coffee

Ravi Kiran

a second look

at the first impression

red mushroom

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

elevator stillness

blinking numbers

and eyelids

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

how many words

does kintsugi need

porcelain heart

Ravi Kiran

still in the e-cart

all those gifts I wish

she would take

Ravi Kiran

Valentine’s Day

the flipped coin says

don’t click ‘Send’

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

cold dawn

the drooping eyelids

of school bus kids

Ravi Kiran

the porch

all for themselves

the bulb and a moth

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

thunderclap

on a moonless night

your confession

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

windblown hair

campfire lights up

half her face

Ravi Kiran

*

flooded street

the paper boat

faster than me

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

temple gates close

the bell dissolves

into the silence

Ravi Kiran
