Shining Moments

Shining moments

Flower’s beauty fading unnoticed
Acts of kindness in cloak of secrecy
Shining moments before oblivion

Falling tears dried
Hope’s flame rekindled
Rain kept on falling

She ironed the creases in her dress
Wondered about creases in her life
Nonchalant began whistling

Repentance self flagellation
Spirit unscathed mere witness
“One” reality, smokescreen duality

After Rain

Indiscriminate rain clouds gave their all

Response came in earthy aroma, sprouts

 

Scrambling snails huddled scattered shells

Worms, gorging mini juggernauts, slithered

 

Muted chirrups retracted to refuges feathered

Overhead pearl drops shimmered in strung wires

 

Mopped dusty air, puffs of rejuvenating breath

Replete trees stand tall arms branched out

 

Leaves shaking shivers in euphoric frission, ecstatic

Life is dynamic ever changing moods, never static

Golden Sunflowers

Golden Sunflowers

Like helpless babies
We look to you for sustenance
You are the caregiver

 

Like budding toddlers we seek
Your firm hand to steady selves
You are the nurturer

 

Rooted planted by hopeful hands
We seek your benevolence to stand
You are the host

 
Blossoming into glorious beauties
We need your love to sustain bodies
You are the eternal lover

 
Your light filled glance, suffuses
Pale cheeks wilted, bereft in grief
You are the horn of plenty

 
Arching, straining to capture warming glow
Callous lover like you may or may not show
You are the hunter

 
Tied irrevocably to your apron strings we are thus bound
Our existence, your benevolence, does astound
You are all powerful

 
We our known by your name only, none other
Your progeny blazing gloriously, sunflowers
We are your personal coterie, golden bower

Contours

Contours

As eyes see
Mind perceives
Contoured reality
Formed naturally

Ripples in water
Patterned undulating
Curling quivering desires
Astride ashes from pyres

Vertical curtain of rain
Beating down drains
Washing away grime
Molded over time

Up thrusting holy spires
Skyward floating desires
Of congregation, choirs
Sent forth on wing n prayer

Sprouting grains curved
Thrusting out of fecund earth
Swaying blowing breezily
Embracing life greedily

Swirling licks of flames, fiery
Curling crackling perilously
Inviting with come hither looks
Attracting to contract fatally

Soft sharp undulating hills
Folded crusted at earth’s will
Destiny’s pathways, a drill
Navigate with tracker skill

Wind blowing sharp robust
Punching pummeling gusts
Power packed invisible force, as
Thunder clouds cry selves hoarse

Bright scintillating sun thrills
Glowing disc declaring life grills
Going in cycles round and round
Distilling essence onward bound

Contour lines easy to trace
And store in memory bank
Hard to trace is that one line
From my spirit to my beloved’s place
