    Wish You Were Here: A love poem (NaPoWriMo 7)

    This poem titled ‘Wish You Were Here’ is about love and longing. / As I sit under the crystal clear sky I wish for your presence to accompany mine. The soft music of foamy white water could be the only sound That joins us on our lazy picnics under the warm spring sun. And we,…

    You have always felt like a soft Sunday morning.  Like waking up to the nightingale’s melody Wafting in through the branches of the fruit laden mango tree. Like gentle sunlight filtering through the threads And making check marks on an unmade bed. Like riveting conversations about books and music Over cups of steaming hot coffee…

    A poem about longing and separation

    We skipped around the snow And danced with the snowdragon We snuggled around the fire And gazed across the ocean Of misty blue eyes And whispered goodbyes -Armaan Photo by Jonathan Forage on Unsplash
