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

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'.

Taste Of Sunshine

(Image credit : https://elizabethgabay.com)

Have you tasted

A drop of sunshine

In a glass of wine

Oh what does it taste like?

Like wild sea of poppies

Gulped down with an ease

Or does it taste like twinkling star

Sweetness of tempestuous affair

Sure its taste be like evening lust

Craving from dawn to dusk
Or does it tastes like paradise
Sizzling cold of melting ice

Guess it tastes like

Dozen hearts illuminated

Quenching the thirsts

Of passions satiated
Let's taste a drop of sunshine
In my glass of wine
And dine to start an evening fine

Music To My Senses

(Image Credit: http://me3009.deviantart.com)

(Love)

You can feel it

In lullabies of a mother

Holding a fairy child

Or in call of a jungle wild

Where blows the wind mild

(Pain)

You can smell it

In pitter patter of rain

Sobbing of a wrenching pain

Sits a lady in distant train

Whose stories I do refrain

(Enigma)

You can touch it

In dewy grass of morning

The mist so enchanting

Even the rustle of leaves

Swaying in mysterious breeze

(Worship)

You can see it

In dance of a maiden

Tuning to a Sufi hymn

Immersed in beauty of God

Whispering tales untold

(Solitude)

You can hear it

In beats of a living heart

And echoes from a mountain top

In waves that hit the shore

Breaking into whisk galore
