Burn

                   *Smoking is not good for you, but then, you already know that.

my modern-day Prometheus        brings me love       instead of fire;        he forgets to tell me       it burns the same way.         - Jason

Sweetest heat           Of silken flame           Inviting the young           And the foolhardy           To leave all else and come taste            With promises            Of forever.           Love will keep you warm.            For only so long           Before.      -Nikita -

Dream

Each one of us deserves to take a shot at this one.

To make things special, we have a guest writer; Yashad Kirtane who stretches out his poetic feet for us.

Here's to dreams coming true. Cheers.

Open spaces       constrict my gaze      Words find utterance in silence      I try       to grasp fleeting sensations      This dream       will never end.            Move past, don't look back-      A new beginning awaits.     - Yashad

A single bright pink kite flew      this morning      With no others to play      Tag with      Or run loops around,      Climbing slowly      On the back of the same winds      That tried to pull it down       From its place in the sky.      -Nikita -

Hope

This shot is dedicated to Nivedita Rao, the one we drew out of anonymity.
Hope you like it ;)

As the ray of light          slices through the darkness          tiny particles of dust           come alive          and learn to fly.         - Jason

In the round of your stomach          That shows          Just when you raise your hands          I find happy smiles          In the folds of your skin          That invite          Without temptation of sin,          And make forecasts          Of clear skies and sunshine.               - Nikita
