Flowers Of Time

do not doubt it,

the bay has its spring too, 

the flowers of the tide 

(~ Basho)

which bloom in salty winds

carried secretly by time

Wild Ents

Rumbling winter storm – 

Ents are dancing with their wives – 

ancient limbs entwined

(~ Paloma)

I join in their wild dance

around the embers warm

(~ Anusha)

Drenched

drenched in rain

we kissed each other

abating the pain

that did not matter

locked in arms

the shower-cloud smiled

we make rainbows

that stretch across miles

PS: This is my first poem written in collaboration with my husband :-)

Paper Boat

such a still water

even the dragonfly

splash it with the tail

sailing my paper boat

I dream of a distant voyage

There Lies A Beauty

(Image Credit: http://www.fanpop.com/)

Do take a look

In a child's drawing book

Where beauty lies in art

Of innocence loaded cart

Do look above

Where dims a chandelier

Though not very familiar

Beauty mingles in warm glow

Dancing slow and mellow

Do look underneath

That soft velvet

Which kisses your feet

Beauty is in blooming greens

Of ferns and flowers

And holy riverine between

Beauty needs no definition

Its presence is in every creation

It needs a heart wise

Not just a pair of eyes

To My Core The Petrichor

(Image Credit: https://www.today.ng)

The earth kissed the soil

Stretched its arms

To embrace the moist

Soothing my core

Oh the aroma of petrichor

And lo drenched in the

Vapours of fortitude

I roll and fall

On heavenly drops of solitude

Oh the aroma of petrichor

Sways me to a distant shore

Soaking in its fragrance

The wild bloom and glance

So happily I wish

The scent to last more

Cloud Burst

(Image Credit: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/432416001693552628/)

the thunder the grumble

my heart does rumble

with pain and pleasure

all that I treasure

emotions corked up for long

tears stored forlong

sudden struck a lightning

insides blare out

I pour and pour

memories sweet and sour

and as the cloud burst

rain kissed the earth

revealed and healed

soul that was sealed

now open and ajar

peace not so far

Cuckoo On A Mango Tree

(Image Credit: en.wikipedia.org)

I wandered lonely as a cloud

On the way I found a cuckoo bird ...

A cuckoo on a mango tree

Sings out loud with a soul free

Her melody reminds of a distant land

Mystic tales of a golden sand

Those afternoon naps

On my granny's lap

She makes me nostalgic

Weaving her magic

Cascading shades of greeny ponds

Gleaming meadows of which I am fond

Honey-dipped voice of a chirpy bird

Sways me away with rhythm unheard

A cuckoo bird with a gaity glee

Calls me aloud from a distant tree

** Inspired from William Wordsworth's 'Daffodil'.
