Smile

Child smile after birth

spreads epidemic of love,

making all happy.

Angst

Howling Gorilla

Rhythmic breast thumping by both hands

Beastly proud poetics …

Drawing( short story)

Holiday time in school, painting contest for kids in our housing society,
and I am the judge.

Kids are painting less and fighting more, as we do with less love and more of hate, and I smile with nostalgic tears.

In my child hood as well, I used to make drawings with date trees and bushes,small pathway and distant hut, rising sun in between mountain; eagles flying in the sky, river flowing, and the boatman is calling, 'come dear come'.Now, I am old and understand; river is I, hut is mine, and in life’s jungle, perhaps the mental sun is telling,’ let me go, let me go'.

In between, what I did?

Same I think … acted like a child.

Like a child, a beggar of love, happiness, with all wants, and when restricted, I started crying.

Crying has become habit forming.

Whether in school, college or in work, I painted with hope and cried, when the results were otherwise, and still I am crying.

Time is up, game over.

Paintings closed, and I thought, I would laugh, only when I die.

Boquet

Colorful flowers like beehive bunch

Splendor as that of a rainbow

Mesmerizing with fragrance

Happiness with laughter

In our joyous home

And the bouquet,

My darling

Dear love

Is

You

With your

Smiling face

Concern and care

Sympathy and friendship

Naughty acts with teasing

Ready wit and humor talks

Passion and live companionship,

That has made it heavenly abode.

Black Rose(Etheree)

She,

waiting

for red rose

with her eyes close

like each year today;

suddenly doorbell rings;

expecting to see his grin,

she opens the door swings with full hope;

instead, police hands her the black rose

with one crumpled letter as his last note.

New Dawn

Foggy mornings with misty emerald green

Panoramic splendor with bluish sky hood

Enlightening snowy essence serene

It is joyous time with holiday mood.

Snowy drizzle with silvery sauna

Frosty crystal,icy dew drops on petals

Natural wonder in mystic fauna

For fun and frolic with love specials.

Flowery gardens with fur trees and pines

Dancing moon light with breezy bright

Chilling cold with refreshing dines

Festive spirit echoes with glittering light.

Winter steps in with Christmas splendor

Cozy comfort in yearly retreat time

New Year begins with hopeful ardor

Let us restart with vigor for future prime.
