Burning heart...

It was an unusual cloud formation in the sky. I couldn't risk missing capturing such a beautiful scene. By the time I dashed for the camera and raced to terrace, sun was behind the clouds and the silhouette resembled flames. Mesmerising.

what is it, I thought, after all
memories of the past, hung on the wall
fresh and smelling flowers a moment
dry and laid to dust in the next


visions of our future lying dormant
love, was it, or was it just my present
felt like burning love for a moment
heartburn... ..., in the next?
