Connections

somewhere 

the dandelion seeds

drifting 

in the wind, my wishes

that I haven’t shared yet     

 

whispering softly                           

beneath the oak

unspoken words

Hifsa Ashraf, Pakistan

Storm

 

fading into                               

the clouds of dust

a shepherd’s whistle

this lingering ache

of your sudden departure

 

now I only frame                     

pieces of loneliness

scattered into rainfall

 

Hifsa Ashraf, Pakistan  

Joanna Ashwell, UK

-----

Desire

 

still lingering                              

the scent of your letters

in the drawer

I find no place to hide

my first love 

 

every moonset                         

the calligraphy

of dream flight

Hifsa Ashraf, Pakistan  

Joanna Ashwell, UK

-----

Melody

 

raindrops at dawn                

random notes

bringing me back,

Bhairav gratitude

everywhere

 

morning raga                        

my breath follows  

the dervish flute

Ocean Muse

 

footprints                        

erased too soon

within the tide

wondering if answers

are out there

 

beach stroll                     

exchanged silence 

the moon and I

twilight drizzle
a busker's melody fills the alley
with laughter
