Flash.

It's not sun. It's not edited. It's lightening in the setting sun. Caught on camera overhead Kochi.

Satin white flashes

Of light with peels of thunder-

Hiding behind the clouds!

***

The dance of the Gods

No human shall enter

Lightens the earth beneath.

***

Lit up by fire from heaven,

A moment of beauty-

And then just darkness.

***

A beautiful thunder

Terrifying so many of us-

Then Lightening of hope!

City Lights!

A glimpse of Sharjah Corniche after sunset!

The city lights dimmed as winter swelled,

the nights grew longer,          

a waft of salty smell      

from the sea spread as the southern winds

were stronger !                            

She snuggled in her bed       

inhalers in her pocket,    

fiddling with her locket.

This is my effort to make a Herrick's Stanza  for
Imaginary Garden With Real Toads
at Play It Again where we can do a past challenge and I did the
  Sunday Mini Challenge
I hadn't tried before!!

A cup of hot coffee, a storybook in hand,

a soothing calm memory of him.   

Her thoughts were random     

but full of his curious whim...  

she read                                               

the same text till she slept on his bed,  

calm and serene                     

in his silent dreams...     

Return To The Light!

Setting sun over Sharjah Corniche!

Love in our eyes,
Before us unfolds,
In the heavenly skies,
Stories untold.

The days are falling,
The darkness sets in,
Yet so many young hearts
are still beating!!

As the nights become longer,
The yearning grows stronger,
The love, the passion, the desire
becomes a live fire!!
