BEFORE TWILIGHT AT A GREEK SHORE – Collection of Poems

the light is fading
as the sun is ‘gulped’ by the ‘Greek’ horizon.
the translucent sea-waters
just turned opaque with sun`s reflection .
a color , reddish-orange fills the entire sea,
a color smooth enough to soothe the soul .
I sit back and enjoy the prolific scene,
the crabs ran past me and soon go unseen!
the turtles get cozy at ‘home’ ,
the water splashes against my feet
and tickles them into dancing to some unknown beat !
the houses stand around the shore
as the glitter of the crimson reflection
from their window panes
adds to the beauty thereof.
The children, they play some game ,
they run around with sticks
and draw some doodles random on the ground
which are soon to be washed away by the waters !
They are innocent , they draw it again and again
hoping it would stay .
the sea gulls give a final cry
the day has ended and off to home they fly .
The dim Greek lamps are slowly lit and
I lay down and think of thoughts untried though fit
the reason I live , the reason I smile
I have found all here and there`s nothing to hide !

 

A MONSOON EVENING – Collection of Poems

sitting in the verandah
at the window,
a whole new world is what I discover !

its pouring heavily outside,
trees sway and dance as if to hug each other.
as the drops pitter patter on the puddles,
i perceive a picture perfect .

the coolness of the wind right on my face
certainly feels like heaven .

the flowers dance to the tunes of the drops!
the birds look so funnily confused and drenched!

a sudden lightning , thunder rolls !
I’m taken by awe.

slowly as the rains slow down
the mild sunlight pierces through the dark clouds,
gives a spectacle so superb .

the wet squirrels scamper out to dry themselves
the flowers glisten as gold in sun !

what happens now is something magical!
something out of this world!
the seven hues have come together under the sun
and left me awestruck !

I’m still amazed,bewildered,confused and “dwarfed”
for such a beauty is nature
and so great must be the Creator.

 

AT THE TOWER BRIDGE – Collection of Poems

It’s an evening in London.

I got a leave and took a stroll

on the world famous Tower Bridge

I stood right there in the middle when

my eyes rested upon a pond so sound

with roses and lily beds around

and the water, like bluish crystals abound.

closer as I look ,

the pond comes alive

with the fauna that ,in it , thrive.

the frogs, the toads ,the golden fish

no! u can`t give them a miss!

slowly my eyes turn to the sky above

the clouds are grey ,

there had been no sunshine today

ah ! this cool wind should take my heart away!

lo ! there`s a thunder somewhere around

the very first drop ,and life seems profound !

the refreshing rain, rejuvenates the soul tense

and reinstates this raucous sense.

so what`s on my mind is simple and plain

“this ambience i love, i don’t want to  refrain
these moments so precious ,I can`t explain!”
