FUTILE SEARCH

They have been in hunt to know

Where from the fragrance comes!

They wonder; from flowers of heaven

Or some mysterious garden,

Far beyond the seven seas

The perfume appear!

It awakes their sense and

They ask everyone; which flower

To bear this holy fragrance!

They seek and find-

It is not the scent of jasmine,

Blooms at the darkest night;

Or from the splendid lotus

That has been blooming

Since the cosmos formed

And not from any blossom

Born by the spring itself!

They are in search far and wide,

To find where the source.

Anywhere they travel,

And the cologne reaches them

Covers and intoxicates their souls

And they still in search madly

And foolishly, not aware that

The perfume which made them blissful

Is in reality, from their own self,

Evolved from the heavenly blossoms

Flourished in their own spirit,

By the celestial marvel

Because of their hearts in love!

DIVINE GIFT

The warmth that make you to shiver!

The chill that gets you heat!

The assault that pins you still

And the rapture that takes you heaven

Nothing gives two hearts the delight

But only with this divine gift!

Love passes from mind to psyche

Affection travels from one to other

Romance transfers from heart to feeling

Lust conveys from person to spirit

Warmness voyages from essence to soul

Sweetness pours from lips to lips!

All these only through the bliss

And for ages it is called kiss!

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.

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.
