Your name I’ve painted,
In henna on my palm;
As days and night spent,
Your name is a blessed psalm;
Your name I’ve tattooed,
In ink on my heart too;
Time and tide may pass,
Your name will forever last.

INK
Ink leaks from my pen,
Blotchy petals on paper –
I write poesy.

I Promise You
My love, I promise you my ink,
My heart bleeds of words I think,
Of impossible love and pain,
My tears flow incessantly as rain,
Eroded a painting of sea and sand,
Dreams of escape to a green island;
My love, I promise you my ink,
As long as my breath doesn’t sink,
Blood flows in my veins,
A song in my memory remains.

You Are
You walk in my life unaware,
Inviting my pen to play melodies,
Of indescribable beauty on strings,
My fingers throbbing with love;
Don’t walk away unaware,
Breaking the rhythm of my heart beats,
Striking your name on strings,
My fingers blemished in ink;
You are the dancing script,
The humming pen, the amorous words,
You are around me, within me,
You are the poem you whispered in my ear.

White Flowers in the Night
Take me with you,
To a land where white flowers
Bloom in the night,
Where moths freely die in the light,
As I bloom and I die in your favors;
Take me with you,
Keep me close to you,
As the scent of white flowers
Invigorate the breath of lovers,
And I write with the ink of your eyes,
These petals of poetry,
Chaste as white flowers in the night.
Anita Bacha.

Absence
Winter is cold,
You’re gone,
Ink is frozen,
Words forgotten,
Lone searing eyes,
Stoned with ice.

INK Echo of life and love
But words are things,
And a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew,
Upon a thought,
Produces that which makes,
Thousands ,perhaps millions,think.
Lord Byron
My poetry book INK Echo of life and love (2019) was publicly released, launched and unveiled on 10 April 2019 at the Hennessy Park Hotel in Mauritius.
INK is my second poetry book. It’s a fusion of classic and modern poems of all genres.
Ink is associated from time immemorial with the art of writing and calligraphy.
Words when spoken are ephemeral; words when written are eternal.
My work is divided in three parts.
The first part Power of Love consists of love poems that conveys to the reader the adage ‘at the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.’ Irrespective of age,gender,color of skin, everybody falls in love.
Power of Words, the second part, is the expression of deep rooted feelings,emotions and sentiments in writing.
In the third part, Power of Delusion,the reader will find poems about impossible love,infatuation,deception,disloyalty and break ups.
My poems are daring, straightforward and thought provoking. I couldn’t write them if I were not sincere, if I did not believe in myself and in you!
I wrote them for poetry lovers and for you, my dear reader.
