Undying Love

I remember the day

I fell in love with you

And passed endless days and nights

Edgy and Sleepless

Days and nights

Of vibes, illicit longings and hurdles

And of wandering moods withering in stages.

But one day ….

Both of us saw eye to eye

And engaged hearts

Becoming one

To become exemplars of love

Undying.

Femininity

The sun is up with never- ending zest,

Aurora all pristine and enigmatic

Only you—woman—seem pensive!

Eyes drooping—hiding your moans

As you sit by the window.

A resilient wind blows,

Making waves on the green grass,

Nature creates a furor in you

And yet you resort to refusals and parts.

Inside you a womanly heart!

Eager to mother all living beings,

And indulge in passion immense

Great is your love and true!

Autumnal Song

Thousands of Lotuses bloom

In Autumn,

Alluring all everywhere

Night-Blooming Jasmines too

With fragrance wafting far and wide

So pleasing and so serene.

The mountains echo our hullabaloos,

Chirpy birds ----

Our minds bear fragments of memories

White patches of floating clouds in the sky.

With celebration and hope

This season comes,

We forget, forgive and simply move along.
