SOUNDS OF NATURE

O constant flow of lovely waterfalls!

You sing calmness to receptive souls

O gentle breeze of unique dawn!

You hum the present, past and future

O tolerant land of Tropical Island!

You store secretly the giggles of joy,

the sobs of sorrow

O Nature!

Within you turns the invisible wheel

of sounds

at perfect rhythm,

under a flawless tune

maintaining an equilibrium

often ignored by the eyes of Illusion

but always welcomed by the enlightened

children of generous God.

EXPRESSION OF LOVE

My bruised heart had become

alien to love

Solitude was my peaceful refuge

But in the secrecy of my heart

I still found you handsome, irresistible;

I did like your philosophical views,

your  unadulterated determined  nature

I kept on hiding my feelings for months

yet yearning for the warmth of your embrace

Then, one day you sent me a song

by Phil Collins

So surprised was I

How did you know  I admire that singer?

Your heart had chosen the right one

to express your undying love

I let your almond- eyes

conquer my smile

There’s no place

I can hide

Your arms are  now my abode,

my true peace, my eternal solace

Oh  my love!

Together, let’s sing the enchanting refrain

amidst the lovely monsoon rain:

“ …Cause I can’t stop loving you,

No I can’t stop loving you

No I won’t stop loving you

Why should I ?”

TWIN FLAMES

Twin flames

We have sung

the shared songs

of our heartbeats

We have waltz on

the telepathic thoughts

of our minds

We have cherished

the same spiritual quests

of our souls

You – the masculine part,

I – the feminine part,

We complement each other

As we unite,

the synergy of

divine blessings

and true love

creating perfect positivity

on planet Earth

un-flickeringly brightly glows.
