ALONE ....

There is surely a divinity

Walking through the lonely woods where wild animals are enjoying to themselves

Everything is lush green and fresh

It's an endless path I see only few men

And women covering their bodies with leaves looking as free as the nature!

I can sit on the shore for hours

Looking at the mysterious sea and the waves hitting high and low

And the ferrymen ferrying

The passengers through the turbulent sea at times

Giving extra care to his row

Calling out to the sea goddess for a safe ferrying!

Some are young and some are old but all enjoying the ferry I can see!

All of a sudden I get an urge

To take a ferry ride alone

With my thoughts and feelings running through my lonely mind and enjoying that divinity of loneliness in the vast sea!

I take out my ear phone and listen to some beautiful songs about the blue green sea away from the crowd

And the mundane chores!

I am at peace with myself

With my lonely sail and the mystifying music of the sea!

VULNERABILITY ...  BE SAFE

Today's world is not safe for children too

When vultures woo the lil girls from far

Looking for an opportunity

To chase them and undress them to see their sweet and innocent budding bodies!

If you are mother of a girl

Make sure to accompany them to school and complain to the authorities for any

Rude behaviour and rape!

There are men who can rape a seven or seventy years

As age does not matter when

Lust reigns their wicked minds!

Don't let them wear revealing clothes making these pretty buds vulnerable to lust of the world!

Teach them self defense from small so they are not much at risk !

Tell them to be aware of too much affection from anyone including their male teachers!

Who knows what their ulterior motive is!

Be careful

Be vigilant

Be safe

Guard the motherland

Lead a happy n contented life !

ANGELS WITHOUT WINGS

Angels without wings

are the mothers on earth

going through struggles a lot

working  and feeding  her children small

and her ailing husband and parents

She is an angel without wings

but reaches everyone who needs her

She works from dawn to dusk

without any weakness

as God has blessed her with

tremendous energy

to cope up with her life !

She is a mother, wife and daughter

and sibling too

who is always on the go

without fear

She is poor in the material sense

but blessed with a golden heart

never complains

always with a smile !

She weeps at times

when she is alone at night

but makes sure no one sees

her tears !

She is a gift to this world

an angel without wings

but flies everywhere

with ease on a magical carpet !

O'  Angel you are a precious pearl

who resides in everyone's heart !

THE NATURE ...

Every season is beautiful in its own way for its all God's creation

Summer nights are cool at times

At times humid and sultry

Enjoy bath of aromatic oils so refreshing

Rains bring relief to the scorching summer

All are out for a rain dance

Getting drenched in the silvery drops

Lovers sit and spend time at coffee shops enjoying a cup of hot Coffee while the old at home are frying some samosas to tickle their taste buds

Spring is ever more refreshing with flowers of different hues n fragrances

Spring is the Queen of all seasons

But autumnal breeze everyone enjoys although the trees are bare n naked laying colourful carpets for the passersby to sit and relax

Winter time is cozy lazy time curling up under the soft blankets till late mornings

Listen to the gurgling sounds of the mysterious sea giving life to the sea creatures so enchanting

God has made everything perfect for man

Look at the twinkling stars winking winking beautifully

And cool cool moon at night

While the rivers flow calm and slow for ferry men to fish  for their lives !

Life is enchanting with lovely green woods and green meadows

Let man not destroy the beauty of God's gifts for his self enjoyment and merrymaking felling beautiful trees to make fancy stuff for his mansions costing millions of rupees while the poor cry for a morsel of food!

Let's make mother  earth a lovely place to dwell in peace with the beautiful nature of all seasons God has gifted us with !

THE LONG LOST HEART ..

I found my love

In your eyes

When you looked at me

Through your heart's eyes

I melted on your embrace So sweet

My heart I have given you long back

But you took it as a joke

Brimming with love

You held me close at last

And a thunderbolt

Stuck my heart

I could never feel

The same with anyone

But you carried away my heart and wandered

Through beautiful woods

Green and lush !

Yes I melted in your love

So divine and sublime !

You kept on looking at me

Till I surrendered to you

In the end !

A love story of all times

Began to be written

In the history of lovers!

I found my long lost love

In your embrace!

I NEVER SAFEGUARDED MY HEART ..

I was young and vulnerable

Carelessly I dressed in stylish clothes

All eyes on me wooing me top to bottom

Looking at my cleavage

And luscious lips

And the brownish hair

Tossed left to right

I walked fearlessly on an

Unknown path

I saw a charismatic man

Sitting with a cigar

Looking at me from afar

I caught his curious  eyes

With a lil sweetness in them

I moved towards him

Not knowing my heart

was falling in love

With this unknown man!

I was all of seventeen

Never cared for anyone's advice

We both met in the same spot

Every day at dusk

When the twilight made me prettier than what I was !

He kissed me with passion

I gave my heart to him forever!

The next day he never came

And my heart craved for his

manly touch !

He will never come

I know

He will never meet me again I know

Now its a love story of a young girl who never safeguarded her precious heart !

Now I wish I never met him

In my life!

I said to myself

All make mistakes

I too made a blunder

Not safeguarding my tender heart!
