memories slide
across my face
like petals
of bougainvillaea
falling into
cheerless autumn space
dyed in faded hues
of dull red

they hurtle
hurtlessly

after all,
there’s no pain
when withered skin
is peeled
away

that is perhaps
the wry nature
of love
first found
with difficulty
then lost
easily
in a spiralling
tail-spin
of emote

remotely
memories slide
across my face
like similar scenes from
blockbuster movies
that millions have watched
and more would
still watch again
and again

only the cast
will change

like new leaves
in a new bloom
springing out
with change of
seasons

When bougainvillaea are in their
bloom, they are indeed...
blockbusters.

Good morning, Sudhir!

yes if we could truly take in those wise
messages that nature sends out to us and incorporate them into our daily lives
nice spiritual words

Enjoyed...fine writing...I rented a blockbuster DVD and it looked like it had been driven over by a truck...so I ask how many times they had rented it out and they said eight times...James
