Passion Flowers
As I wake up this morning, a beautiful pair of bright passion flowers growing on a creeper on my window frame , greet me. These uniquely beautiful flowers are a marvel to look at and are one of my favorites. I marvelled at them as a child when I first saw these little beauties. There were so complex and so different from the others. The flower I saw as a child stayed in my mind as a beautiful memory and I never saw it again until a few months ago when I finally found this creeper.
My regular rangoli design at my doorstep is also inspired by Its beautiful leaves and curly tendrils.
Its called “Krisha kamal” in Hindi…I wonder why?… But its beautiful and I am happy to see a flower on the vine each morning in this rainy season here in Bombay. One of my favorite passion flower photos on Flickr is called “A boat over the sea of passion” .I love this mosaic on Flickr too
Lay down on your pillow
and turn the lights down low
let me take you to the garden
where the passion flower grows
Touch the tender petals
of the flower as she grows
a tentative endeavour
as your feelings overflow
Let me draw you to the place
where ecstasy can be embraced
the beauty of the garden
where the passion flower grows
Feel your mind exploding
in the heavy scented air
experience the shiver
as you’re captured unaware
A little touch of heaven
where imagination flows
the valley in the garden
where the passion flower grows.
