A Love Bird's Song
May I
Ponder
along your path
Linger
upon your warmth
Lather you
within my hearth
Smother you
with my sweet breath
Just once, in this lifetime?
Can I
Trace a line
across parted lips
Paint a flower
over closed lids
Cover you a bit, in gentle nips
Shower your mouth with maple sips
Just once in this life time?
Could I
Enclose you
within my hold
...

A Child With An Imagination
When I was a little girl
With plaited pony tails and all
And mamma's hand- made pillow
As an imaginary doll
To play with, all alone
For me, the colours of the rainbow
And all in between that follow
Used to be mysterious chimes
Oscillating between positive and negative vibes
Eyes closed, I create an imaginary world
A completely new fjord
Created below the precipice
Of the sea of deepest emotions unleashed
Because, a child with an imagination, that was me
When I close my eyes
Sometimes, I see yellow
And it brings one...
With plaited pony tails and all
And mamma's hand- made pillow
As an imaginary doll
To play with, all alone
For me, the colours of the rainbow
And all in between that follow
Used to be mysterious chimes
Oscillating between positive and negative vibes
Eyes closed, I create an imaginary world
A completely new fjord
Created below the precipice
Of the sea of deepest emotions unleashed
Because, a child with an imagination, that was me
When I close my eyes
Sometimes, I see yellow
And it brings one...

A Pretty Lady
Raindrops are pretty so pretty
I shall catch you before you do me
Hopscotch and dance with maidenly glee-
Painting the luscious greenery, pretty so pretty
Replacing my sorrow, pretty so pretty
Washing away the tears in to the musty drains
Delighting the mirthless empty plains
Arriving as a sensual nymph, pretty so pretty
Praise be to the creator, pretty so pretty
Your footsteps a much awaited melodious tempo
Frolicking with the seasonal monsoon tango
Humming like a sparkling fairy, pretty so pretty
Your vestments are pretty so...

Praise be to the creator, pretty so pretty
Your footsteps a much awaited melodious tempo

Humming like a sparkling fairy, pretty so pretty

A Single Rose
A sunflower once inquired
From her neighbor
A single rose,
'Why is that my friend,
That you keep your petals folded
As a shield around you
When the bees swarm around
Aching for their provision,
Don't you want to be admired,
Adored and worshipped
Like the rest of us?
Replied the rose, to her question
'I wait for a single bee
From all the creation
Since the time of my birth
Till the time of my death
I shall wait for...

SCARLET DREAMS
Scarlet dreams
Knitted in gold thread
Is what I conceal
Within bashful sighs
In the shelter of my eyes
Sometimes I become a magnolia in bloom
My quivering petals wiping away your gloom
Within closed lids
My fragrance fiddling with your senses
The essence disarming your defenses
Sometimes I become a nymph of the seas
Singing enchanted melodies
Within silent lids
That you may fall asleep buried in the soft swerves
Of my sea crusted feminine curves
Sometimes I appear as the encrypted moon
Fading away the dark clouds...
Knitted in gold thread
Is what I conceal
Within bashful sighs
In the shelter of my eyes
Sometimes I become a magnolia in bloom
My quivering petals wiping away your gloom
Within closed lids
My fragrance fiddling with your senses
The essence disarming your defenses
Sometimes I become a nymph of the seas
Singing enchanted melodies
Within silent lids
That you may fall asleep buried in the soft swerves
Of my sea crusted feminine curves
Sometimes I appear as the encrypted moon
Fading away the dark clouds...

A Beautiful Day
The sun rises
The morn bird soars
The magnolia blooms
The myrtle sings
And the brook dances
Over the hills
Across the fields
Beyond the plains
And my heart hums
To the tune of love
As droplets merge
In pit of lobe
Cascading
Flow ing
Gliding
Into fruit valley
Nipping tender peaches
Sending shivers
Down silky limbs
...

Rusted Tale
You reign as king of the topaz sky
Smiling behind violet streams
Where hazy foliage glides by
In cloudless pink dreams
With absolute contentment
Of joy's never apart
And Life's fulfillment
Of a pretty sweetheart
With frills and silky lace
And chocolate birthday tales
Of multiple offspring phase
Enjoying the melody of nightingales
With laughter and mirth
Awaiting pattering feet
In a short while of birth
To play hopscotch on the tiled street
Your world is perfect
And in your perfect little world
There is...
Smiling behind violet streams
Where hazy foliage glides by
In cloudless pink dreams

Awaiting pattering feet

My Prince
Through opiate eyes
I see his gentle face gleam
To unleash my sighs
Appearing as a lavender dream
As purple hue unfolds
Their scent sedating the breeze
An immaculate angel floats
Through my heart‘s gate
And I know he is there to stay
So the past has no state
When the future finds the way
With him I see no fancy hats
No glittering crowns or robes
No...

Fairy Tales
You
Make me think
Of fairy tales
Of jeweled crowns
And golden gowns
Of mahogany twilights
And ebony nights
Of the rippling moon
In a crystal lagoon
And a twinkling star
In a silver spoon
Of dancing fairies
Wearing flower tiaras
And of Cinderella
waltzing with her prince
But of course
Every time
The clock strikes at midnight
I come back to myself
A simpleton
Away from fantasies
And dreams
Only tear drops, to remain
On a plastic screen
Make me think
Of fairy tales
Of jeweled crowns
And golden gowns
Of mahogany twilights
And ebony nights
Of the rippling moon
In a crystal lagoon
And a twinkling star
In a silver spoon
Of dancing fairies
Wearing flower tiaras
And of Cinderella
waltzing with her prince
But of course
Every time
The clock strikes at midnight
I come back to myself
A simpleton
Away from fantasies
And dreams
Only tear drops, to remain
On a plastic screen

A Dream Remains A Dream
Diving into boundless depths
Embedded within a pair of gems
Pocketed on his moony lens
I once had this dream
Of a shower of jasmine
Falling over ebony tresses
of Persian silk dresses
Spread on damask carpets
Of milky waterfalls
Of the whispering breeze
Blowing over the trees
Carrying jewelled roses
Of silver trinkets
Engraved on a golden pamphlet
Of flaming scarlet
Etched on bridal palms
And quenched thirsts
From sweetened sherbet
Of a dancing trumpet
Mimicking symphonized blues
...

WORDS
I
Can feel
The love In Your eyes
Most of all
Reflecting
The smile of spring blossoms
Pink tulips gazing
Right across the dawn of my iris
Illuminating the glassy lake beyond
In mystic colors
Of shades of lemon and orange
Of a vibrant sunrise
Boring into a fathomless pit
Exploring bit by bit
Traveliing...
