YOUR PRESENCE

As the sunshine reflects colors thousand

Through the dew on leaf tips,

I feel my mornings are charming.

With tantalizing fragrance the breeze

Patting gently over my face

And I believe it is kissing my soul

The symphony of birds in spring

Makes my mind dance in glee.

When thunder beats and the clouds

Shower heavily, my soul imagines

It is the rarest rain in desert!

When nature paints twilights in fancy,

My heart beats and jumps in joy.

Very rarely, the gift of nature

In seven colors appear,

Though for a while, makes

My mind overjoyed for hours!

I wonder and enquire everyone

Why the whole charm around me

And I get the answer

From the marvel itself!

Now me, doubts nil, realize

All these allure by your presence-

Your fondness boundless!

Let my soul in delight drown

In this ocean of your fathomless love.

IN ROMANCE

Perceive the sunlight over the dale

And ocean snuggles the horizon

While tides embrace sandy shore

And the sweeping breeze in love

With the garden, full bloomed

With flowers a thousand, filled

Their bosom with honey in lust

Eagerly waiting for bees to yield.

Behold the rainbow in search

Of her sweetheart and vanishes;

Nay, she elopes with the cloud!

See the night in blanket dark

Moon rays kissing lotus flora

Over the lake where stars mirror

Like glowworms around the vale,

And in love with jasmine

Creeps over the bush who in hushed

Romance with dew drops falling!

All the nature in love and desire

With its sweet loved pair

And I wonder, my beloved,

Why to wait you and me,

Though our hearts glitter

With silver beams of romance!

ENDOSULFAN

Behold these poor souls in pain

Limbs thin and twisted tongue

And vision nil in their dreary eyes

But, may their inner thoughts be clear

May  they see what you do

And hear what you say.

We wonder and question

Why you still waiting?

Why don’t you to do a bit

To save the approaching age

From being like this poor hearts

Or like other hundreds!

With poisoned blood and genes!

You, monarchs in high mansions

Have eyes nevertheless blind;

Ears yet deaf; tongue however tied!

Open your eyes, listen with heart,

They are our brother and kin

No vision but tears their eyes have.

We are not begging,

We demand sharp and shrill!

Raising our voice high-

“Exterminate this toxin

From our mother earth”

Or else our children would drown

In this hot and poisoned tears!

WAITING

With you came the spring

To my deserted garden

Flowers bloomed thousands to see you

And came butterflies numerous

Not for honey from blossoms

But to mill about you

And birds in chattering

To hear your music

Like a full bloomed sunflower

You persisted in my garden

The perfume spread around

Made envious all

They all watched your shining face

Our dreams and hopes and lust

Made it the seventh heaven

The bright sun above felt envious

Seeing your flaming beauty

The stars grew jealous

But not known if

Seeing the flowers or your splendor

The moonlight lingered here

To snog your stature

The breeze mill around here for ages

To embrace you always

But oh! Suddenly the day came

The day you got vaporized

Like a drab flower you faded away

But still the garden bears

Buds in thousands; waiting to bloom!

And the spring hangs around

Unwilling to go

And my psyche keeps it alive

Only for your return!
