A LOVE LETTER

I try to write with trembling hand

Wishing words come from my heart

Which beats and leaps up much

Though my will tries to press it

With my passion and tenderness

It is your eyes that drag my essence

Into affection and warm-heartedness

And your smile that anchor my feelings

Your incarnation beckons my psyche.

Seeing the dreamy rain shower

And silvery moonlight fans out

Over hills and dales

My heart feels exaltation and bliss,

Only because of your fondness

The bright daylight and gentle breeze;

The singing birds and pretty drizzle;

Charming flowers and butterflies

Everything romantic reminds me

Your presence is certain

In my desolate life

I wish in my heart to write you

A thousand lines to show you

My deep inner thoughts.

But the physique doesn’t follow the spirit

And I write with trembling fingers

Only this single line-

‘May I perhaps request you to my life?’

THE CLOUDBURST

With my hopeful dreams

I decorated the cosmos;

By means of my smile

I made the sky bejeweled

I myself sent a thousand

Messengers, the wind, and sunbeams

The rain and the moon shower

To show my deeper love

And to invite you

And I waited impatiently

For your return

But came back they one by one

Unable to see you

You were hiding somewhere

And I let the clouds

To envelop my whole dreams

The firmament got dark with mist

But I still wait for the messengers

Here the last one too comes

Oh! But empty handed!

I let the clouds to burst out

To cool my hopeless dreams

STILL WHY YOU TO WAIT?

The goal is far-off but distinct

Obstacles are numerous to face

But it bestows you much power

And more inspiring the challenges are

And your vision is definite and clear

Rough and hard the pathway is

With thorns and stones all along

But your determination makes it

Painless with soft petals of flowers

The whole cosmic is here with you

To dispense you the helping hand

For your success!

With all these the ambience ready

And the goal is set precise

Nature made you fit and well

To be the all-rounder,

For the entire game to play

The cosmos made your soul steady

Inducing the vigor called confidence

None could block you; none to stop

Still, why you to wait?

And why not to wake up

From this disused slumber?

HEAVENLY SPLENDOUR

Nothing suitable for you to ornament

Though I search the whole cosmos

I seek every nook and cranny

But in vain all

I hunt among the galaxies

To find the best jewel

For my sweet to wear

I have been in enquiry among

The green dales and cobalt sky

For my bellowed to dress in

The apposite and perfect garment.

No suitable bed I can find

For my sweetheart to sleep

Though I search far and wide

Among singing birds and chattering brooks

And even the whistling wind I enquire

To compose the sweetest lullaby

I explore the black night

To draw her eye lines black

But the darkest night is not

Enough black for her oceanic eyes.

Among the flowers I search

Fragrance in variety but

The spring is not enough

For her to perfume!

And I now rejoice in my heart-

Nothing beautiful

In the cosmos is not enough

For your heavenly splendour.
