Sugar Words

I wrote a guest post (poem) for Elephant Journal. It went up on their website today.

The poem talks about how we need to straighten out (untuck) ourselves and sometimes our fate as well. It’s a poem about love and longing, accompanied by my favorite metaphor – changing colors of the sky. We often look for a home in the people we love, and longing for a person brings forth homesickness like no other. The poem describes how “Love” is tired of sitting in the bed of memories and looks for places to call its home.

Poem – Untuck

Cold hands on rusty railings,

Wind drying the cardigan above my head.

Hair untucks itself from behind the ear,

comes closer to the eyes and watches,

the sky turn orange to blue,

with every flap of a wing on its way home.

Miles away, a lover glances at the sky,
