Stills by Daipayan Nair

Stills

When I revive you by 
from a past of being torn, 
being plucked with force, being made 
a lover's bouquet without choice

How could I ignore the silent breeze,
its own share of pollens
swaying your mind for a while

Now, there are two roses left:
Which blooms after death 
The other that blooms before it 

To the flower, I can say, 'it's full of beauty'
even when the garden isn't full of it

Your petals around it 
is just your photograph.
