Rhyme Time

I climbed up the mountain
To see the fountain
In the garden
Somebody said pardon
There was a little boy
Playing with the toy
Who was very coy!

World Of My Own

A world full of love and beauty
Is the only world I have known!
Suddenly, I realize
To become more wise
There are many more worlds to be explored
Though, science and math are not my kind
In all I believe
Is the life divine.
What is that…?
Divine wants us to do…?
To love and praise each other
Smile and be happy
For it paves a simple path to bliss
But we humans like snakes hiss
Out the venomous notions of materialistic pleasures
For that’s human’s treasure
Truly not! A false hope! A real hell!
Where pain and fear conquers them
Until their last breath
So the world of my own
Is nothing but love and beauty.
Which brings happiness to one and all!

Bubbles

Blow bubbles
On a nice sunny day
See all the wonderful things
You can say!
Bubbles just slide and glide in the air
Gleaming and glittering in sunlight
Carrying the cool different rainbow colors
Glossy green, classy blue,
Purple, pink and yellow too.
Fantastic, are they, you would want to stare
Until they pop
You can’t stop
To blow bubbles
So, blow bubbles
And enjoy its hues!

Bits and Pieces

Tears
Diamond drops
Trickling down his cheeks
Whiny music flows
Filling the soundless air around
When needful things given
Gone are the tears and sound!


Treasures

Precious stones, gold, silver, jewelry, and money
Are these treasures…? No!
Love, kindness, compassion are the true treasures!
Also, worn out toys, long loved books, small shiny
specks of glass or metal, colored wood chips too are
treasures to the little tiny hands.

Life
Life without problems is easy
Life with problems is spicy!

Experience
Every single experience is a page in the book of life
There are volumes and volumes to write about a wife!





Crying
Any amount of crying wont help you
But you have to
Find the ways and means of what to do
And that will only help you,
To stop crying
And solve the problem!


Self-realization
The power of self- realization is far more powerful, than the use of any charms or magical powers!

Change
Change for the best
The world will change itself next!


Bliss
The quiet, calm, happy, and peaceful state of mind is bliss. When one truly experiences this, that person strives not for any other thing in life.

Monotony
It’s the same everyday
Fatigued minds feel that way!


Problems
Destructive ways like smoking and drinking are not the right way to solve any problem.
Constructive methods like painting, writing, playing instruments, singing, or even listening to music, creates a better approach to a problem which helps anyone to solve the problems!


Death
Fear not death
For, it’s not an end to anything
But, only a beginning to something!


Anger
When you are angry, or when you worry
Just write it on a paper and you will feel relieved
Give it a couple of days, the pain seem to vanish
Then tare it and trash it. Try it, you’ll see
How smoothly you can handle things!

Apples

The apples, apples, apples
They travel from the trees
Fly by planes
Buzz in trucks
Land on the shelves
Of the Grocery Stores
They travel, travel, travel
In the bags with different people
And stop to rest in a basket
Or seated in a bowl
For take off to various destinations
There comes a boy
He takes an apple
Relishing a bite
Enjoying the crunchy munchy juicy apple.

I Tree Eternal

I

At first I was oval in shape, then I took the form of a raindrop. I didn't know what was happening to me. I waited in the moist dark land.


II

O…What a wonderful surprise, it was worth waiting, I was bathed with the beautiful beam of light and dressed with its golden hue and I saw a very big world in front of me. I had big and little friends who used to smile and wave at me now and then. It used to be very pleasant to be in such a nice atmosphere.


III

Everything was fine and I had grown into a small sapling. Every evening a care-taker came and tended us and we were all happy together.


IV

The next morning a new two-legged being visited us and I was chosen for his garden. I was transported to a nouveau jardin where everyone was surprised to see me and it was my new home. That evening I saw a little girl walking towards me, she seemed to be very friendly and nice. She was the one who took care of tous les arbres le nouveau jardin.


V

Days, months and years passed by, all of us grew together. Various flowering plants and trees such as button- roses, victoria-rose and other roses, jasmines, coral-stalk-jasmine, creeper-jasmine, tree-jasmine, hibiscus, white-scented-lilies, cute little green-bells, balsam, all blossomed, and the whole garden was filled with its hue and its own mild fragrance gently filled the fertile land. The fruit bearing plants and trees such as jack fruit, guava, cricket ball, custard apple, mangoes, jamblams, grapes, orange, bananas, pomegranates, cashews, almonds all looked full, round and ripe, delicious and juicy.


VI

This place was like a heaven on earth, especially to all the birds, butterflies, squirrels, lady –birds, etc.,. They always had a never ending feast to their full and were very healthy and happy singing to the glory of God and especially their master cum friend the no more little girl but belle dame.

VII

Majestically, I stood there with mildly baked body and emerald crown with topaz bouquets and jaded bunch of base -balls which held transparent juicy liquid and milky kernel within, my nuts were relished especially on a hot summer day, I helped the humans to cool down and rest and relax under my shade. My dear friend would read or write enjoying my cool atmosphere many times. I was happy with the others and
sort of proud too, for ma belle dame liked me the most for she often danced and sang around me whenever she was very happy, jolly, and in her high spirits.



VIII

Soudain, down to earth was my condition, I was ill and treated with pill but it was of no use, I deteriorated day by day, hence my life was coming to an end. Although everyone and even the agriculturist lost hope in me, and told that I was 99% dead and there was no point in having me and thereby to replace with a new one. Mais, cette belle dame, who had great confidence in her, challenged that within a month she would bring life into me. She devoted much of her time and energy in achieving her project. She loved me all the more and took extra care by thoroughly washing me off the decayed matter, removing the unwanted stuff, allowing free flow of light and air, by bathing and feeding me well to such an extent that I recovered from my deathbed, and regained strength and life. I was back with usual majesticity and pride—o no, now humble and wise, thankful and grateful to the heart that saved my life, where I am eternally united to that lifesaver. I do not exist anymore.

IX

I live in eternity!

Child



The sight of the child,
Takes us to the World of its Own.
The face of the kid,
Makes us feel calm.
The smile of the baby,
Thrills us with joy.
The play of the new born,
Makes our heart light.
The laughter of the miniature,
Takes us to another world…
A world of peace and harmony.
To be with the child
Is to be with God in Paradise!

Music Magic



What an excellent art
People with taste never ever wish to part
Part and parcel of their life
For most people, their first spouse
Mismerises many minds
Master of Minds
Binds all minds caught in materialistic mire.
Music is a magic fire
The sick picks up health
Some poor make wealth
Gives great inspiration
To depressed minds, a beautiful companion
Makes you cry
Also makes you dance
Takes you to the world of trance
To experience all great wonderful things
Joy, happiness, spirit, enthusiasm it brings
Classical for wise
Pop for young hearts to pop up
Jazz to jingle-minds
Rock ‘n Roll for ..........................
Rap for all who clap and tap!

My Love

perennial river

eternal fire

everyday sunrise

fragrance of the flower

pleasantness of spring

sweet voice of the nightingale

Snow



O what a beautiful sight
To see it snowing day and night
Lit by the snow, the night is so bright
Without the stars and moonlight!

The world is like a moon
Don’t miss, come and see this soon
Otherwise it will melt
For words can’t picture exactly what I felt!

Happy is the little hearts
To sing, dance and play
On a snow-fall day
No school
Fun at snow-pool!

Beauty and danger
Go hand in hand
Like two sides of a coin
Cars, trucks, vans, that join
Create a commotion
Stops the flesh’s motion!

Wherever you see everything is white
White, white and only white
Nature shows it’s mighty-might
No man can win this fight!

Peace, peace, peace to the soul
That shed its robe
Its God’s fault
For their lives have come to a halt
O what a mistake
In His marvelous creation
Of which fears the nation!

Life-less trees
Come alive, with snow
And the leaf-less branches
Yet to grow!

As far as your sight can measure
All is the snow treasure
Enriches your life with peace and purity
Also, nature’s prosperity!

So far not a single sound heard
Eagerly awaits the world
The cheering-chirp of a cuckoo-bird
Then will you see a wonderful world
So colorful, beautiful,
Of all this time you could not have heard!

O what great blossom it can bring
During the spring
Can’t wait to experience the joy
Of which my heart could sing!!!

NATURE

NATURE



Barren lands not

But best green fields

Bordered with coconut trees

Beyond them

Beautiful sun – rise

Ball so perfect

Golden-orange bright tint

Quiet lotus pond

Awaits for blossom

Seconds, within minutes

Transcends to

Pure golden yellow sphere

The strong sunrise

Too bright and glary to see

Urges the

Half bloomed lotus buds

To glorify the land

With its beauty and fragrance!

Morning Ride

Roads are clean

The air is fresh

Rains have washed all the dust!

Cloudy Day

>br>
On a cloudy day

Mind is clouded with something

What’s that thing?

Nothing!

Numbers 1 to 12



One two three

Apples on a tree

Four five six

Whoever picks

Seven eight nine

Found not one that’s fine

Ten eleven twelve

Fell into the well!

On Animals and Other poems

ANIMALS

Has anyone seen my animals? asked Mira
Which of those questioned Tim
Well, my elephant, lion and bear
They live in the jungles and zoo, not at home, silly girl
I meant my yellow elephant, red lion and blue bear
O the ones dad got you from the kids’ world!

GENDER

Mama, I love this kitten
But how do I address it
Is it a she or a he..?!

DYNO DINO LAND

Touring in the dyno land
Flying over the dino pals
How are these beings so strong, I wonder?
I hear a voice like thunder
By drinking the tonic dynamic
Tell me how do they maintain their might
By never going near the dynamite!

UTOPIAN LOVE

She lived in the world of imagination and dream
Unrevealing her silent love
Happily ever after!

POETRY

No iambic meters
No patterns
No rhymes
No rules
Spontaneous outpour of thoughts!



MAGNET

Love is like a magnet
It attracts only opposite poles
That’s the way it should be in the human world too!


MAGIC

Your love my darling
It’s neither black nor white
But still magic
In its might!

ME

Who am i…?
I do not know…!
What am i…?
Nobody knows…!
Why was I born…?
God only knows…!
Was there any deed to be done…!?
It would have been history…!
Now that I exist…
Its still a mystery…even for me!
I believe, that, on one auspicious day
I’ll discover myself
And enchant this entire world
With my wonderful-wisdom…!

That’s me

All through my life
I have been pondering about…

Who is this me in me..!?
Where did I come from…!?
Why am I here…!?
What am I to achieve…!?
How am I going to do that…!?

People say that’s me…my special unique self
But what is me…
In others’ words….
Compassionate, kind hearted… is me
Smart, talented…is me
Somebody’s son, husband, dad, grandfather, great grandfather is me!

Anyway, who is this me in me…!?
The R…E…A…L me
Where and how did I originate…!?
I end up meditating…
I can visualize…
From the mountain top…. The valleys, fields, plains,
Filled with the morning mist…the enlightening air,
From that nowhere
I think I was born
That’s me!

THE BEST OF JEWELRY IS MINE

O what nice jewelry I have
Whether I’m happy or not
Beautiful or ugly
It lets me sparkle with richness!

O what a waste of money says my mom
Save them all, for the precious gold
And don’t go for the costly metal
It’s worth nothing whereas gold’s handy n saves something!

O what a wealthy get together
Well, all high and mighty
Drunk with pride
Still the star of admiration is MY jewelry!

O what a jealousy feeling
For they talk and walk by me
To be more proud of my friendship
Praising my gorgeous, exquisite, uniquely-designed necklace
Express their envy to own it!

O what a captivating moment
Fraction of a second the flash of light
Embraces the gleamy, glittery, glamorous gems
Illumines the whole place -like the starry-sky.
Oouuuuh….look at that…!
What is it..?…from where does it come…?!
Did somebody cast a light filled mesh on us---?
Are we captured…!
No, no, it’s from the mesmerical necklace!

O what an interesting subject
Talk of the town
Invites an auction party
Millions to go, millions to buy, millions to be rich
But, the best of jewelry is mine!

Baby's World

Beautiful world
Is the world of the baby
Zero to two, a nice sweet age
Cool, calm and contemplative like a sage
Instantly changing interesting expressions
Evaporates our depressions
Light and least bother’d
Of everything around.
Sound short sleeps with sweet smiles
Attracts everyone over miles
On crying it believes
All their pain it relieves
Thence with peace and ease
Hence rest and build up all zest!

To My Baby

Hey little guy
What’s so funny?
Do you recognize mummy?
You were in her tummy!
In what wonderful world
Dwell thee, I wonder and ponder
O my little baby
Often you smile
I don’t know why
But I love that…
Sweet charming smiling face of yours
It captures my heart!

Good dreams
God speaks, it seems
Is it true?
I’m not sure
I believe baby dwells in a…
Beautiful, blissful world
Passes pieces of bliss
To you and me!

My Sweet Baby

My Sweet Baby
Excellent petite figure
With pretty little fingers
Cute little nose
Tiny little toes
Angelic face
Filled with grace
Lovely little lip
Catchy can’t slip
Chubby cheeks
Sent from the peaks
Small ball head
Strikingly good
Velvettish silky hair
Good looking and fair
Grape-shaped eyes
My heart it ties
Tender hands
Awaits to pick sand
Slender legs
At great rest
Sweet small feet
Can’t miss but meet…

Windshield Sky

Driving in the rain
It's not a pain but a gain
To your admiration of nature
The big droplets of rain
Forcefully pitter- patter’s on your windshield----no, rain shield!!!
The big droplets of the rain
Like the sparks of the shooting star
Shoots down straight on to you
But untouched
The little droplets of rain
Joined together, forming shapes like sperms
Or baby snakes
In search of their destination.
The wiper blades slash them
Sending them to be born as …
The big cool sun with water rays
On the windshield sky!!!!!

A Poem with colors

Sheets of white paper
Pen with blue ink
Thoughts like evergreen forests
Sway in mind like yellow daffodils
Writings with symbols and syllables
Mean something
Which turn the face and heart red
Touched by emotions!
