I love to express my feelings and imagination in poems. I mostly like to write about nature, community, life, flora and fauna and so on. Along with publishing my work on hellopoetry.com, I maintain and write for the couple of blogs: https://poemtheart.com
It scurries upon each tainted step,
Countless of seeds sprung beneath its paws,
Beckoning the way to its meal,
Stirringly commends its scheme to await,
Treacherous pounce from a rock to another,
Claiming its place beneath the trees,
A knowing nod to the skies above,
As it leaps towards the clueless quarry,
The mice squeals at the sudden departure of its own life,
Wrangling between the jaws as it shuts it close,
A lively tether released from its tenure,
With a feast to *****
A burrow from where it thrives,
Invaded by its own demise,
The content stoat gnaws the brown fur,
A mouthful filled with the recently deceased.

Slow sleek steps,
Pounces on its paws,
Snow-clad fur,
Brushes off impatiently,
Ears perk up,
When squeals and squeaks are heard,
Steady and slowly,
Merges with the blanket beneath,
Almost at ease,
Confidently it please,
Lowers into its position,
Ready to strike,
Pounces on its paws,
Announces in its jaws,
Mouse struck beneath its claws,
Ounces in vigilant strides as it withdraws.

Poem on Sloth and Nature
Throws itself around on its tail,
Trees wrapped between its globe,
Shallow pools reflect in repeat
It’s all it sees now,
Dried up meadows,
During the summer rays,
The trees cool off,
Humid air rises on,
Delicate branches,
Made just for itself,
To wrap around,
And hang upside down,
Its world is all that it sees,
The trees between each other,
Leaving no far space in between,
Its world, the one, it is able to grasp.

Community Poem
We are equal, but with diverse ways and meaning of life,
We are equal, but end with same manner in this life,
At least, we all shall wind up, not knowing the end,
At least our fate make us equal to each other, in this life,
We stumble upon the unknown end,
As if it’s a new place or planet,
That we would be going to discover,
As we go, we can’t come back,
Our community is large,
But with less friends,
As we consider others as strangers,
Even though they are our same kind,
They came to this world just like us,
And will come to an end just like us,
Our flowers grow, and rot till time,
Just as us, everything carry same fate,
In our world, everyone is equal,
But we are confined to communities,
Communities are built on a new dream,
That will come to others hands as well.

Poem about Life | Free Verse Poem | I Miss You Poems
I feel so worried, as if I’m going to get sick,
If it was a trick, I would be delighted to wake up,
I don’t see you for a while, as if I am isolated,
As isolation will blow my mind away
Through the ice, I hear your voice,
As if it’s the only hope, that I can’t cope,
Your voice gets spotted, but still stuck in ice,
As your voice gets louder, I start to sink
They pull me down, while you try to pull up,
They won’t stop neither you,
Since you never showed up on the right spot,
I feel lonely as I miss you
I feel so sad that I only visited you for a day,
As gloom surrounds my wishes and dreams,
Without expressing or anyone knowing,
As I know, I miss you
I am stuck on an island missing you,
My feelings are being fearful,
As you are not around,
Please comeback, I miss you

Poems About Life
This virus brought us far,
But we can’t get back by car,
It spreads itself far,
All without any mark,
Inadequate protection let it enters us,
Without us knowing it is there,
As it begins attacking cells,
As the attack, rings just as a bell,
We might run fast,
But can’t avoid the virus,
As it infects the iris,
As there’s no way out,
We might eat grapes,
Without knowing the escape,
As it flies through the body,
As a shape free to undertake,
Round but not weak,
As it looks for a victim,
Not immune to such infection,
That victim is seeking protection,
A protection as that virus is nonstop.

We make great effort and style,
But we don’t make close friends,
Together we play great roles on the stage,
But we don’t make friends, even close ones
That goes on,
We don’t recognize them later in life,
Even though we see them passing by us,
They might recognize us, but never tell,
As we refrained talking to them in past,
Just because there was a time, where we could have,
Become close friend with them,
But our mind refuses, as we cross path,
But most importantly,
We don’t recognize the word friendship,
Where we can recognize anyone easily,
And fool around together.

Rose
Poem
Roses are sweet, but not petit,
They never dry out, as they fly in,
Precious for the house of those, who are good,
Pleasing for the house of those, who are special,
They never thought of encountering a lost rose,
Who was tossed away,
For being dried-up all of a sudden,
As they notice its specialty,
And that it’s not impoverished
Down they went to help the seed of the same specialty,
Rose, they met,
Precious to those who are good, with the identical rose,
Pleasing to those who are special, with the identical rose,
Then they go underneath the ground
They will meet,
The seed of same rose,
All with the help of the, identical rose
For just another beginning of a continuing course.

Solar Eclipse
Free Verse Poem | Poem on Nature
As the sun rises,
With lots of surprises,
Granting one after the other,
As slowly the day goes on,
The moon comes out mysteriously,
Blocking the sunny view of the happy people,
As the day gets dark,
As the nights of the shadows,
Making all of them frown,
The day continues for a while,
And immediately vanishes,
The people who saw that spectacular event,
Get surprised and worried,
The children get excited,
As the night goes long,
A night in the middle of the day.
