I had not written anything off late, save reading other blogs and commenting. Been a lifetime since I visited the realm of writing, the Writers Lounge. No excuses for the fault lies with me. I am not completely back to blogosphere yet.
I stare at your
crimson blood still
staining my
guilty palm.
I regret and repent
yet remain in a
ghastly calm.
In a moment or two
I shall wash you
off my hand.
You will fade away
leaving behind the
blood strand.
I remember you
never had issues
with me
yet I crushed, pounded
and eventually
killed you, Mehendi.

Guess what you wont believe theres an amazing track called "Hang On" by a grunge band called Seether. check its lyrics and you will be surprised how amazingly this poem seems like a carry forward of this track.
And as usual great work ! Loved the flow. Hibernation from blogosphere is injurious to health. :)
I love the element of surprise in your poetry :)
I totally agree with Ashri.. you always leave me awed.. :)
hehe... wow.. awesome nandini... ;)

My first comment.... Awestruck!
"indigenously" Femme Fatale !!!
:) ;) :P
you have a good way with words.... but i think it's a pity that you never handle hard and painful topics like love, death, pain etc....
remember pain is poetry.

Very well put :)
ah the award looks gorgeous on your blog.. :) well deserved nan.. congratulations.. :)
first time here.
I read a few of ur other poems as well - i love the way you surprise!
p.s.: blogrolled!
that was brilliant..til th end i just thought that u r discussing abt some blood stains of the murder happened till i reached the last word of this beautifully described "blood stain" poem....
awesomely awesome
this poem reminded me of shakespeare's creation - Lady Macbeth. she washes her hand in the second half of the play just to get outta the guilt of killing king Duncan.. Mehandi is not a guilt!:-)
Poetry is the best way of expression isnt it??
Good one..
