Frangipani
/Searing summer heat,
Long train journeys to
Grandma's home far away,
Sweetmeats to eat.
Lazy afternoons spent,
With cousins looking for mischief
Near the well banned,
Play or be played for
A trick. Complain to mommy
After a tiff.
After dinner stories
Up on the rooftop
Under the stars.
Clear, after summer showers
The fragrance of Frangipani flowers,
Grandma's soft breath.
Childhood Days past
Bustle replaced Idyll
A Lifetime evolved,
Grandma's soul endures time
Among the flowers in my garden.
The fragrance of Frangipani flowers,
Grandma's soft breath.
