Dusk
Ends up,
Time goes on,
Each on its own
Reasons determined
Mind thinks a lot before
Infancies make things clear
Nonetheless travelling together
Each thing has its own preferences
Dusk ends up, time goes on, each on its own

Watermelon Morning
Waking up to cool sweet tingly morning
My thoughts knock at the memories gate way
With hearts ping command good times come refreshing
Within the cool pink world feelings sway
Heart reminds me to stay cool this summer day.

Melodious song I long to hear
Hearts desire, in its bloom.. must wait and see
Yes, there it arrives from someone dear
Intuitions are right that I should agree.

Digging to know the meaning I replay
Song and tune so soothing that’s all I know
Hearing gives me pleasure what more to say
Joy within remains like a flakey snow.

The smile on my face make others happy
Heart spake not- loves intent is promising
Wish each day remains just the same way
Pinkish like a watermelon morning.

Moods (loop poem)
Things will be rough if we are disgruntled
disgruntled voice makes others Grumpy
Grumpy feelings are always ungracious
Ungracious mood swings are nasty and huffy.

Smile on the face cheers up all
All the people around us feel good
Good moments shared,gives happiness
Happiness ultimately enhances our mood.
Ease
Bubbles
Up when I
Lighten my heart.
Lines written with ease
Impress my own heart and
Every pure thought oozes like
Nectar, which slowly transforms to
Candid Muse..oh, what an ebullience!
Ease bubbles up when I lighten my heart.

Sipping
Sipping I look through the window
In the midst of exuberance
Serenity looks so mellow
Thoughts that trying to draw parlance
Enlightens my inner shadow

Melody of those memories
synchronizing with my heart beat
Again revealing those stories
Giving my spirit a great treat
With an essence of strawberries

Reminiscing with bard in me
Didn’t realize the time ticking
Happiness sprang and set me free
Till it rained I remained Sipping
Morning Coffee till evening tea
In redeemed thought of passion lives His will

Scramjet engines **** oxygen and go

Miles faster than sound and lighter they fly

Discoveries reward humans

With out The Trees oxygen become scarce
Shine
Upholds
Pristine bliss
Pairs us so close
Love begins to croon
Even trees and birds dance
Nature and you when so close
Every thing else become footloose
Sweetness brings lingering peace to soul
Shine upholds pristine bliss, pairs us so close

Just those three
Here it comes saying I'm those three
Which is so dear and not for free
All those pages one keep turning
In words galore they keep searching
They do not find in dictionary

Doesn't emerge from any tree
Feelings they come naturally
Used with diligence and caring
Believe me

Even some fear to utter those
The combination melody
When whispered it'll be thrilling
If experienced time goes fleeting
Sure, hearts will be in dancing spree

Rape victim dies
**** victim dies; she was gang *****. 
With an Indian flag, her body was draped.
She was a trainee doctor in Kolcutta, India.
At RG Kar Medical College, as per media
In a deep silence, everyone gaped.

Mouth was full of blood; she was scraped.
Her bleeding eyes were videotaped.
Protest is called by medical ecclesia. 
**** victim dies 

Gruesome **** she couldn't have escaped 
Heinous acts like this should be scraped. 
How many did this have no idea? 
I condemn acts of ****** mania.
Culprits should be punished and wapped.

From the east
Full moon looks

Westward breeze from behind
Touching and gently passing awakes the kid in me
Reminds me of the saying

Amazing nature
Amazing nature keeps calling
Greets and wakes me every morning
Song it sings differs from others
Pleases me with its own druthers
Boosts my spirits with out failing

Keeps changing as per its timing
Gives enough room for my musing
Wonderful things that it triggers
Amazing nature

In seasons, it remains blooming
Though its changing keeps me grooming
Thrilled I shall be when it answers
Adds essence for my new ventures
For ever it keeps me guessing

Memorable Journey
Entered searching for my berth
And settled with a sigh
You asked if I want water
Sipping I removed tie

Whistling loud the train then rolled
Nobody else in there
Only our souls in that coupe
just you and I to share

We were silent for a while
Then we started talking
Chatting that went on and on
theme was interesting

Many a thing were so common
our thoughts started matching
Went on till four in the morn
but time went on ticking

For me you sang those numbers
Even told me to try
Don’t know when that we dozed off
Woke up when sun was high

Dressed up and sat for breakfast
Served each other with care
Wondered how close we became
though coming from somewhere

Then we headed to the door
Opened and we sat there
Morning rays from azure sky
through the trees dancing glare

When fresh breeze from woods crept in
Your hair tickled my ear
Scenic beauty refreshing
You and nature so near

Whole day how we laughed and laughed
Night at eight we will part
Thoughts in heart running so fast
Like a train and a dart

Station had come, you got down
We parted, wishing well
Train then picked up momentum
Hurting was that farewell

Came back to coupe, on your berth
saw the library card
With your photo and address.
Ray of hope splashed this bard

Freesia Flowers
Freesia is bell-shaped; is radiant. 
Mostly found in autumn, they are vibrant. 
They are for thoughtfulness and innocence.
They have strawberries, like incense.
Multi-coloured flowers are ambient.
 
Nose-tingling freshness is its variant.
Wedding flowers are radiant. 
Are fresh in any consequence? 
Freesia Flowers 

Found in soap lotions, they are tolerant. 
They are used in making deodorants.
They remain fresh for any consequence.
Are the best for an incident. 
Wedding flowers are so vibrant.

Power off and bliss
Power supply goes off
And standby doesn't turn up
You start lingering

Whispering sweet things
More advanced than a Wi-Fi
You stay connected

Blessings in disguise
In this darkness, light so bright
You bring to my soul

Simple beginnings
Forever remain afresh
So gentle and mild

Only those two words
"Hi there" written on a card
Came from you through post

Those days I wasn’t
A bard - that was in the year
Nineteen eighty nine

Delighted I was
Didn’t know how to express my
elated feelings

Now in this darkness
You hold the torch - I cant write
Doth feelings endorse

Gardenia
Gardenia's so intoxicating.
The flower is more promising.
The Gandharaj, the king of fragrance
It emits a velvety scent like essence.
Really, it's mesmerising.

Porcelain-white petals are amazing.
Flower is seductive and overwhelming.
A smell reminds us of romance.
Gardenia

You, with the scent so enticing
Positive vibes that you are inducing
Though you grow with wild exuberance,
Your smell is matchless assurance.
Friendly, you are seen in the spring.

Your Christened Name is...
Without a call when you intrude
Interspersed thoughts get rearranged.
For my songs you play interlude
In your presence I'll be  engaged.

At your free will you come and go
What's your address - where do you stay.
If not around - I shall feel low
Questions arise - thoughts go astray.

Calls of many you may not heed
But you trespass every ones heart.
Have many synonyms indeed
You Penetrate like only dart.

Because you are the only one
Your christend name is "HAPPINESS".
One and only - compared to none
Ambush again with your fullness

Hyacinth Blooms
Hyacinth is used in perfume-making. 
Symbolises love that is everlasting. 
Power, beauty, and its merit
Are for uplifting the spirit.
In mid-spring, you can see them blooming.

You can see them for two weeks, flowering. 
A delicate, fresh scent's breaking 
Bloom is the best time to visit.

Their blooms can be seen colouring. 
Lavender, rose, and cream are sinking. 
In many shades, one can endear it.
Beautiful flowers, you always cheer it 
In memories, they are masking

Come! It's Monsoon
Hey! It's time to rejoice. The monsoon has come. 
The rainy season is awesome. 
Clouds that fill the sky bring cool shade. 
The coolness it gives is truly portrayed. 
Playing in the rain is gamesome.

The rain that frees us from boredom 
Birds fluttering with their freedom 
Animals too enjoy while they parade 
Come! its Monsoon
 
Plants are vibrant with green blossoms.
Rain that makes everything wet at random 
In the rain, sure, sadness will fade.
Happy, fresh memories invade. 
Come, in this rain, I am lonesome 
Come! its Monsoon
Your promise

of love afloat

like daffodils

on a mirage
Reconnected in thought and mind
Assured happiness that is felt
Though faraway yet so close
New feelings emerge when we chat
Again just we two in this muse

Joyful ever and always free
Young at heart and remain to be
Opt for the best and feel happy
Thinking that we will meet again
Heart that opts will it become true
Is this is what I feel about you

Silence the mind
Silence the mind...challenging pun
More I try to stop, more they run.
Freely when ebb tides meander
For the thoughts I don't surrender
Rather with them I'll have some fun

I pen them down to make them one
Then the thoughts become so tender.
Bad thoughts are dormant and slender
Silence the mind

One good deed, and the day is done
Negativity remains non.
Under thoughts possible thunder
Showing duff ear is not blunder
Silence the mind

Magnolias
Magnolias have a deep grape fragrance.
Induce excitement for romance. 
Natives of the Himalayan mountain range
Fragrance that brings about a change
If they drive me crazy by chance, 

My heart surely goes for a dance.
Happiness will come in advance.
In my mind, they will rearrange. 
Magnolias 

With different colours, they enhance 
White, pink, purple, and green are dense.
Purity and nobility they interchange
The lovely feelings they exchange 
They represent perseverance.

Monkeypox hype is in the air. 
unnecessarily creating scare
It's from the same family that causes smallpox.
That's what's hidden in the box. 
You can avoid it by taking care.

Fever headaches can be seen somewhere. 
Will have swollen lymph nodes that block

Symptoms last for 2–4 weeks, and they'll flare.

Have a good immune system and breathe fresh air.

Peacock's Beauty
A peacock has a long, feathered bushtail.
Blue, violet, green, and tail look like a vail.
Fully opened, they look like eyes watching
It looks beautiful while dancing.
By showing its every detail

National bird of India, says its tale
Found in forests and grasslands, it curtails
The big birds are so amazing.
Peacock's Beauty

Feathers knitted and worn as wale 
In India, peacocks are banned for sale.
Are omnivorous in consuming 
Symbols of beauty, wealth are its citing
In the sky, in my dreams, they sail.

Immortal is Poetry
Centuries old is poetry
feelings are so well expressed
though feelings still have history
New feelings yet get endorsed

Was written in many a form
Every read gives, new delight

Who penned them with great insight

Millions of thoughts, put on paper
Trillion more thoughts will sure bloom
Immortal is this galaxy
