KULVINDER CHAWLA

On a Hot Summer Day

On a hot summer day

When the sun bleeds red

And makes sky Copper

When Earth

Fumes like furnace

And no soul stirs

When birds are hidden

In shady haunts

And beasts are

Into hibernation

When a sweating peasant

Leaves plough

And hurries to shady haunt

For siesta

Sitting under a tree

I get drenched

In the cool showers

Of your memories

Moonlit Night

Moonlit night

Sand sparkles

Like millions of stars

Feasting on Earth

A host of glow worms

In a thorny bush

Giving competition to

The twinkling skies

Nomadic beats

In the distance

Set the ambience

To celebrate life

I Rest my head

On your shoulder

And feel Elysium

In my dreamy eyes

Desire Unfulfilled

Showers of rain

Sitting by Seaside

I see

Waves strike

against shore

And Cool breeze

Swaying tree

On wings of time

Fly back

Memories of

You and me

Desires are birds

Every now and then

Perch on mind

Seek me

To be with thee

Saddened I

Look beyond horizon, still

Some wishes

Never fulfil...

By The Seaside

The seashore..

Striking waves

Memoirs of

gone by days

Full moon night

Reflection in water

Refreshes a face

Shadowy trees

Rustling leaves

Long lost whisper

Meanwhile me

Trying to scribble

In my diary old

A song new

How I Wish!

How I wish

Someday we meet

By the side of a river,

crystal clear

With no one near..

When the birds

Have come back

To their snuggly nests

And the shadows

Of trees have taken

Heights uncanny

When the tinkling flocks

Are home from meadows

After a day out

And the sun has spread

Its sheet to sleep

At the dusky horizon

When the world

Has hugged

The sleep.. so sweet

And the stars

Have gathered

To party on galaxy

Let us meet

By the side of a river,

crystal clear

With no one near...
