you know what it feels
to have a verse, or a
blushing-black rose
fall out from pages?
you must have loved someday,
maybe a girl with sunburnt skin
maybe someone with a lost smile
i can smell nostalgia
stain your warm amber eyes-

ha cool verse…and nice mix of the senses too in that last line…smelling the nostalgia in their eyes….
Nice evocative moment caught with simple words
Simple yet hauntingly beautiful ~
Beautiful, Mohana. Very nicely done!
Odd synesthesia here that still somehow works – the smell staining eyes – amber even something that preserves – very interesting -well done. k.
this is filled with warm, beautiful color and subtle motion. lovely.
just beautiful, Mohana – a poem that brought back remembered feelings
