The sky four shades of charcoal
wind whips the gulmohars
rain!
mrignayni waits by the window
#
Frangipani, cloud in blue sky
The sea beneath - a glittering carpet
One could get used to this lifestyle
indolent
#
Chilled room
Incisive suits, sharp questions
The ocean generous, past the French windows
I better sit with my back to the view
#
Old ruin of a mansion, but what a mansion
Curving staircase, vast porch, balustrades
What a grand place this must have been
The nameplate faded, tattletale

Had to look up "gulmohars." Think it's what folks in Miami call Royal Poinciana (flame tree) -- beautiful.
I really like the way you trail away in the last line -- very evocative.
