she lit a single candle
light flooded the night

Stay With Me – A Poem by Anita Bacha
Stay with me
Stay with me as flushes of pink
Stain the petals of the rose
Stay with me as the light
Hovers over the burning wick
Stay with me as the wine
Imbues my breath and thine
Stay with me as the moon
Smiles in the dark night

Echo of Cuckoo’s Song – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha
Echo of cuckoo’s song
In the deep stardust valleys
Electric colors
Dawn breaks fawning reverence
Sunset’s docile somnolence

A Leaf of Your Tree – A Poem by Anita Bacha
Of your tree so mighty,
I am a leaf so green and tiny;
Neither an apple nor a fig,
I hold on to a twig;
In winter I shiver and I freeze,
In summer I sway in the breeze;
Drenched in torrential rain,
I cry in grief and in pain;
Scalded in the burning sun,
I shrivel and I shun;
A creeper I long to mime,
My arms enlacing you;
Heavenly heights to climb,
My soul enrobing you.
~ Anita Bacha ~
Thank you for your visit my dear friends.

First Leaf of the Fall
Behold the first turn of the autumn leaf
From green to amber light,
From yellow to rusty veins;
Behold the game of life,
Like the autumn leaf
We have lived,
Gracefully, we detach,
Knowing life is a gift of God,
We take our leave,
Make way for new leaves
Anita Bacha.

On the Quay of Farewell – A Poem by Anita Bacha
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
