I HIDE myself within my flower

Olympus D425

HIDE myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too
And angels know the rest.

I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.

Emily Dickinson

Her hallowed mystery

Canon Powershot S3IS
Suraj kund crafts mela 2010



A SOLEMN thing it was, I said,
  A woman white to be,
And wear, if God should count me fit,
  Her hallowed mystery.
 
A timid thing to drop a life
  Into the purple well,
Too plummetless that it come back
  Eternity until.

E.D.

An old Self Portrait 

This picture was taken a longtime ago when I had just started with my 1st tiny 4mp cam. That time I could not even figure out how to use the timer or the flower meant Macro mode :P 

Anyway I took this in my room in candle light. This is a Hand Held shot.

I WISH I knew that woman’s name

Canon Powershot S3IS
Way back from Badrinath

I WISH I knew that woman’s name,
So, when she comes this way,
To hold my life, and hold my ears,
For fear I hear her say

She ’s “sorry I am dead”, again,
Just when the grave and I
Have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep,
Our only lullaby.

E.D.
