Aegis of Nature

When Life is more than words

You know you’ve found the golden treasure

When April is gone and spring still reigns your heart

You know you’ve captured the moments of joy

When the gentle breeze blows in the midst of summer

You know there is someone around

When the birds hum without a reason

You know you’ve a reason to smile

When the flowers bloom without the buzz of bees

You know there is fragrance in your life

When you feel on top of the world

You know you are in love…

Fond Memories

As I walked through the deserted lane

I stepped unto an earthen pot which

I dared to open…

Inside I found a little joy in my name

I carried it home with eagerness

And on the way I found a bagful of laughter

I knew it was for me and carried it too.

As I trod on the golden path

A little ahead I was served a bowl of love

This I accepted with much happiness.

Back home as I unpacked my basket

The air was filled with the

Fragrance of joy, laughter and love

The feel of someone’s presence.

I realized I gathered a beautiful

World around myself

This will carry me to the golden future…

Thorns Diminished

I know there are thorns on my way

But, I dreamt of a life without them

Now I’ve learnt to live with them

Still dreaming of a life of roses

My eyes have witnessed the calmness of

Wet nights that swept away my dreams

I even heard them say that tougher

Moments have essence of happiness

But, I could only wait to count

On them, where are they, have I

Annoyed them, why they have turned

Off me!

I plea a rendezvous with happiness,

I long for embracement with my unseen

friend. I have essence of hope with me

And I believe I am closer to my goal

For I know I could defeat sorrow

And win a friend for myself

When Words fall Victim of Expression

When my heart rose to whisper

Unto yours the feelings of deep

Gratitude, the humble Bible but,

Couldn’t save the language of

My affection…

“I have faith in the power of love.”

My heart rose again, in her own

Little world, adorned with a smile

Unveiling her only feelings unto yours…

She knew when words fall short, it’s just

Right to say…I love you!
