WHAT A LOVE !

Whenever I get up at dawn

What I see is only your face

Those enchanting looks

take me to cloud nine

enjoying the heavenly bliss

I thank God for seeing you

as I get up rubbing my eyes

What a magic in love divine

You have never left me

even for a second

Such is my love for you

Happily I sing and dance

early morning and everyone calls me insane

I smile away their comments

As I know you are with me

throughout and more

When I sleep too you are

Cuddling me not letting

me sleep a wink

Isn’t a wonderful love ?

You live in my heart

Rent free as what I want

Is only your love and care

as rent for my heart which

has been lying vacant for long!

I have not seen you

nor spoken to you

but I feel you all over me

An endless love and

never ending passion

and desire !

I don’t know what I will do

When I see you

May be I will just look at you

till my heart is filled by

your love!

……………………………………………………….

LOVE LEADS TO PEACE

Walking on the thorny path

For many years in a row

I find a stream calmly flowing

With sweet music for man to listen!

I sit and ponder over

Who created the sunrise

in the east at the dawn

The moon after the sun goes down with

millions of stars brightening up the sky?

Who made the birds to chirp

And peacock to dance

And the sweet fragrant flowers

With various colours n shapes

The woods and the wild animals?

My creator, your creator, everyone’s creator!

The unique Creator filled with love!

He created man loving with a golden heart, but He chose the devilish path

To hoard and let the poor suffer

In their darkness and emptiness!

Why there is war n strife?

Becoz of greed, lust selfishness

and struggle for power!

Oh! My corrupt world

Change your views now

Turn to God

Cry, weep and repent

Before He opens His eyes

With wrath as He too has limitations!

While on these thoughts

I get up with a new vigor

Started my walk again

On the thorny path

With no pains, only gains!

I will walk till I reach the smooth

and struggle free path

envisioning a world

where there is only love and

humility, all living in harmony!

Then I will sit and sing a song

to the world peace on earth, peace

on earth with sparkle in my eyes!

…………………………………………..

Sunset glow

I love to walk in the twilight glow

That purplish orange beautiful glow

When the sun sinks in the ocean blue

And the moon peeping shyly at all

The bright stars winking with love

I love to watch the birds flying

To their nests with no chirping

They are sleepy and tired

The whole day chirping and flying

Feeding their fledglings

I love to watch the seashore so romantic

A beautiful sight when all opt

for a walk on the shore

On the cool sand all wet n sweet

Whispering sweet love eternal

I sit on the shore alone

Watching the passing tides

Calm and low

With all beautiful thoughts passing

through my mind!

Twilight is my favourite time

To think and write under the streetlight bright and beautiful

Watching the splendid glow!

…………………………………………………….

YELLOW ROSE

All roses are sweet and precious
I love the yellow rose he gave me
When we first met in a faraway garden
When it was drizzling in the month of June when
our love blossomed like a summer queen!
It has its own special fragrance of love
Which no other rose has
He tucked it in my hair
With his own hands
Turning my head
I smiled at him and
He winked at me sweetly
From then onwards I only buy
Yellow roses, not any other colour
As he was my first and last love
In this life and more!
When he looks at me
I melt like a sweet chocolate
And i rub my face all over his face
To make him laugh
We grew together in love for
Months together
And it all started with the gift
Of that yellow rose!
I love his rough and tough ways
demanding my attention always
and I give him my life with a
request not to hurt me with his hurtful words
at times when he is facing outside problems,
but give me a yellow rose every day
without fail to keep me happy!

……………………………………………………

Exuberance

As it starts drizzling
The flowers bloom in exuberance with all their lovely colours
Spreading happiness around
They are surrounded by beautiful butterflies hovering around
The flowers smile gleefully at everyone
All passersby wanting to pluck them for
adorning their hair and the altar
Some of them hesitate and pause for a while
Before plucking a pretty rose and let them
be on the plants for few more days!
Gods creation is awesome as he colours them
with different shades!
This life will not be mirthful
if there were no flowers as they make
everyone lives happily watching them bloom!

………………………………………………

I AM HIS UNCROWNED PRINCESS ..

He never failed in meeting me
In winter summer spring or autumn
His love for me is fragrant
Like spring flowers in bloom and when it drizzles
the fragrance of his love increases a thousandfold
When he hugs me quietly
A million stars sparkle
In my heart and my cheeks turn
a pink rose so beautiful
He makes me feel I am
the uncrowned princess in his life
and as days pass our love
grows more and more fragrant as spring
blooms with hues and colours
I know i am the princess
Of his heart whom he adores with all his love!
Our garden of love is ever aromatic and
Sweet with different colour flowers
In various shapes and sizes and butterflies hover
around to suck the nectar of our precious love!
The water never dries in our love it keeps flowing gently,
sweetly, calmly!
