There’s an Autumn that doesn’t worry about loss

by Anshudha Garimella We cry over loss Tears of salt We stand in the rain And confuse  the tears of pain With drops of rain But there is an autumn somewhere that doesn’t worry about loss I have written letters that I never sent Wept like a willow that bends There is the scent ofContinue reading “There’s an Autumn that doesn’t worry about loss”

Sepulchral Tones- a poem

by Anshudha Garimella My violin cries sepulchral tones Can you hear them weep? The melancholic minor notes Bleeding a blue so deep There’s a song inside me I can’t stop playing It’s a song of heartbreak, of chagrin of a heart bleeding Sepulchral tones Angels weep when I sing this song Like willows in theContinue reading “Sepulchral Tones- a poem”
