riot police fires
the demonstrators disperse –
a child left behind
smoke and silence on the streets
nobody hears him crying

On a fleeting mystic night
In the sleepy waters of the sea
I behold a stunning yakamoz
Alluring ripples of silver and light blue floating
Bewitched by the sight
I drown myself in her beguiling soul
Anita Bacha
‘Yakamoz’ is a Japanese word meaning the reflection of the moon on the surface of water, it can be a lake,a river or the sea or any other expanse of water.
I have just learned this word.It strikes me by its beauty.
delicate peonies
fallen at the peak of bloom –
petals of lost love
Happy New Week, My Friends
Anita Bacha
Storm is blowing
Rose petals soft as tears
Lamentably
Fall and scatter around
Graffiti in my braids
Happy Thursday,My Friends

On the quay of farewell
In a covetous embrace
You gave me your heart
On the quay of farewell
You wiped my tears with your lips
You offered me your eyes
On the quay of farewell
You spoke to me about your suffering
You wanted my mouth to feel your fading breath
On the quay of farewell
You wanted me to remember your desires
Your thirst and your hunger insatiate
On the quay of farewell
You fumbled for the tenderness and sweetness that are in me
That you will never find in another
On the quay of farewell
You hugged me tight in your arms
You wanted to keep me forever
On the quay of farewell
Heavy as a winter coat
The separation bent you into two
And you shouted my name
Anita Bacha
Thank you for viewing and reading my dear friends
Happy evening

Under the showering rain,
Shaken by the swells of the gale,
A sweet, pastel pink, begonia,
A petite, elusive begonia,
Beckons my heart in pain;
A flood of love carries me away,
Drifting me tenderly at bay.
Anita Bacha
Begonia is a short poem from my poetry book‘INK – Echo of life and love’. Published by the biggest publishing house ‘Éditions de L’Ocean Indien’ of Mauritius in 2019.
Sadly, that book is available for purchase solely on the local market. On the other hand and, happily I have a big audience in my birth country. I am loved by the beautiful people of Mauritius and my work is applauded by many.

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends
Happy Evening
Look at me and hear me
Because I’m here just for that
I am your moon
And your moonlight too
I am your flower garden
And your water too
I have come all this way
Eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
O Sweet Bitterness !
I will soothe and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns
Rumi
gazing with remorse
lovely view from mountain top
i pine for your love
dark thoughts cross my troubled mind
our last farewell in a café

Thank you for your visit, my dear friends.
Early morning dew
Condensing on single grass blade
Garden gleams with grace
A haiku poem inspired by Goff James Poem Autumn’s Fields Down Chilled

Happy Sunday.
