If I were a flower- A Poem by Anita Bacha

If I were a flower,

If I were a flower for the joy of being a flower,

A leaf for being a leaf,

If I were a stem,

If I were a leaf and a stem to dress up a flower,

If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,

If I were all sleek and purple petals,

Petals to cover the nudity of a flower,

If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,

If I were the eyelids for the delight of being the eyelids,

The lashes for being the lashes,

If I were the eyes,

If I were the eyelids and the lashes to cover your eyes,

If I were a tear,

A tear running down a cheek,

A tear that loses itself in the lips, 

If I were the lips that caress a flower,

If I were the lips and you were a flower…

Creative and inspirational writer of stories, poetry, and haikus I am also an addictive reader of novels, poetry, haiku, and children's storybooks. I am the author of SOUL POETRY a book of inspirational poems, verses, and quotes published by Partridge India (2015) The Maker of Miracles (2006) published in the USA by Dorrance Publishing and My Journey with God (2008) published under the banner of Sai Towers, India is the narration about my spiritual journey. My new poetry book INK Echo of life and love published by Éditions de L’Ocean Indien (2019) in Mauritius, my birth country is a collection of love poems extolling the feelings and desires of women. The Princess and the Crow is my first storybook for children, released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. Two years later, I was inspired to write and published two other books - WAKASHIO, a storybook for children, and PINK MOON - AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty.
