Sunflower

By Ishaan Periwal

For all I wanted

Was that happiest grin -

That Smile.

A smile worth a diamond's bling.

To this loquacious soul,

Her presence would mean the world.

For this barren land,

Her waters relive the Earth.

All beautiful actions

Start with some serendipity,

Whatever little I could forage

To her was a sense of felicity.

Her auroral elegance,

Her blushed cheeks,

The innocence of her heart,

The tranquillity of her soul.

Against whom stood still,

The cacophony of my world,

For all my untamed ebullience,

She was my calming pill.

For her manner,

Made her my torch in the dark.

For me who would challenge Hades

Or might Zeus to war.

My cosmos, my cynosure, my shooting star.

For me who donated her living heart.

Who's hand smelt of petrichor

And Who's cwtch filled my heart.

Her memories breath, deep inside me;

For whose life I live mine.

I turned a Grim Reaper,

To this gorgeous angel of mine.
