LOVING YOU

The creepers bend to touch my hand

When I come out to meet my friend

Who waits for me in the shade of a tree

Where it is silent around and we feel free

The birds show me the way to the place

She will be waiting with a smiling face

As my wish she must have left her hair open

Humming softly she is drying it in the sun

She waits for me with her heart beating fast

The path has thorns but I won’t take rest

Our love is blessed and it we can’t ever miss

To get married and live together is our wish

FEELING GOOD

The bud seems smiling soft

Lilting towards me and swaying

Gently in the morning breeze;

As I get up from my bed at

The sound of rustling of feathers

And in cold I begin to sneeze;

The bird has lifted its tail up

And circle around me twittering

A song I cannot understand;

A fragrance drifts past me as

Rustle of a dress is heard not far

From the spot where I stand;

Circling over my head a

Butterfly sprinkles colored dusts

From its wings and flies away

To sit on a blooming flower

And sways with it sipping honey

Till in the east appears a silver ray

At the edge of the plain glowing

Hills let the snow flow in a stream

Singing a song of love and peace;

As soft wind brings fragrance of

Ripening corns from fields infusing

Into minds a feeling of divine bliss.

NIGHT TALK

The night has a song

That it sings in silence

When two bodies get

Intertwined and start a dance

The night has music

That it plays in the dark

When bodies get rubbed

In passion to ignite a spark

The night has a tale

That it tells in a whisper

When bodies release fire

And rise high as a twister
