Wish I Were A Flower

Flowers, dear flowers!

kissing your delicate visage

I blush and murmur

be it autumnal hues of yellow

scarlet, pink or blue azure

you dearly entice my soul

I lisp tenderly

when your thought even touch me

and wake me to the slumberous tenderness

for I am transported then and there 

to another realm of love

your gentle nudge fills my defeated spirit

and eclipsed dreams with faith and hope

with quintessence of faith and hope

TO ME..YOU ARE THE RADIANCE OF OPTIMISM

 AFTER EVERY OBSCURE NIGHT OF PESSIMISM

From bud to bloom

as you release your smile slowly

In seamless transition

showcasing carpe diem spirit

I take a cue from you

to uphold my desire of reaching the stars

When enthusiasm sags

dull moments cripple me

and I run out of ideas

your hypnotic aura summons me 

In hues bright

when you whisper “life is a living guitar

each breath is melody and rhythm”

I twirl in sheer ecstasy to defy vicissitudes of time

hope I stumble upon the correct expressions

to delineate …how much you mean to me!

YOU SPRINKLE MORE JOY

LET THE GLEAM OF EFFERVESCENCE OVERRIDE

VEILS OF DULLNESS AND GRAY

You have never shrunk from your responsibilities

nor have you failed in performing 

your assigned duties

be it lifting mood, adding sheen to celebration

spelling out ‘love’ sans words

or even a funeral procession

utter diligence has been your trademark and emblem

When the nimble dusk envelopes

and chatters settle down

people are back to their nests

to rest and recuperate

sleep eludes your anxious mind

for you are not sure of continuing

thoughts keep hovering about

“whose cruel hands would snatch your life!”

It is strange that you don’t carry grudge

with a mighty heave you sign off

FOR YOU BELIEVE IN THE ULTIMATE REVENGE 

THAT IS TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

Wish…I could imbibe a morsel of the virtues that you own.
