Woman in white of face withering
away with a wane look in eyes
pleas for penance for less than pensive
attitude towards the plight of
those who suffer seams of stress
time and again same as ever
she traverses, travels for that time
when she’d understand truth after all
she drowns and drenches in ditches
of the pure waters, drink for relief
from her callous crimes that cause
her infinitesimal catastrophic pain

The earth parched thirsty, desert sand blazing hot, waiting for those first clouds to make an appearance and pour down the nectar of life; every worm, every insect, animal, bird, aching for those drops to wash their body off, taking away the layers of mud and grime, they have coated themselves in, hiding away from the ball of fire, resting up above amid the blue expanse, still devoid of the white and grey monsoon shades, they long for.
earth’s mouth open up
waiting long for single drop
gazing up above

A scarlet painting on the sky
dotted with the white wisps of cloud
like the blood that taints the shroud
of the corpse with a smile so wry
one could hear the sound of the cry
emanating somewhere from the crowd
dotted with the white wisps of cloud
a scarlet painting on the sky
the corpse’s skin would wither by
but what about the promise he vowed
the seed, in the womb of his love, he sowed
towards the sky, gaze upon, her eye
a scarlet painting on the sky.
