Two Micropoems by Bharati Nayak

On Your Brows

On your brows
Wear a piece of my breath
Of my life
Take the days, months and years
Take the seconds, minutes and hours
And decorate your house
Oh dear, I will love to eternity.
□

Say Nothing

When you say
You do not say
When you do not say
You say
What I want to hear
The words come flying 
And take me
In their embrace
I become your words
That I want to hear.

Four Micropoems by Bharati Nayak

Rain
The sky darkened
Rain lashing 
window panes 
I sip hot coffee!
□
Rainbow 
A dark cloud hangs
Golden sun rays 
scattered
A rainbow appear!
□
A Cuckoo 
Sweltering Summer
Concrete roads slither
A cuckoo coos!
□
Night 
Night falls slowly
Trees, mountains, rivers 
disappearing
Stars twinkle 
in the sky!
