The clock struck twelve at midnight
Tick-tick-tick-tick goes on
Suddenly woke up from my sleep
A shadow passing my window
With a sharp knife
Whole body sweating with fear
Hands and legs tied with creepers of thorns
Breaking my bones by inches
Darkness capturing the room
Someone was trying to unlock the door
Bang-Bang knocking on the door
Threatening to **** me
Became dumb in vain to shout
It was calling my name with a roar
Pushed opened the door
And the shadow came in with the knife
Nearing me with blood drops from its eyes
Came in force with the sharp edge
To pierce into my stomach
Now the face was clear for me
Recognising it as depression
Abiding full strength breaking the creepers
Became the shadow's murderer!

Me, an open book of
Innumerable poems
Poems of love

Every single page
Have the fragrance
Of your name

Every single word
In this book
Expresses my love

Increasing of love
Turning the pages
One by one

But one thing my love
I am not open for public
This book of love
Published only for you !

Violet was her beautiful name
In a dress of Indigo flowers
Her captivating Blue eyes
And Green diamond earrings
Yellowish golden like skin
With Orange curly hair
Smiling with her Red lips

With the characteristics of VIBGYOR
She is colourful for the vision
She is....THE RAINBOW !

Swinging on a pleasant evening
Yellow golden flowers dropping on me
Grandfather's white beard,
Came flying to me, the pappus
Blowing it up with a smile
Excited to bring out the antlions
Caught some red ants being their prey
Dropping them on their sand pits
Waiting to see them come out
Orange-red jungle flame flowers
Inviting me to have a sip of honey from it
Aimed some mangoes with my catapult
Ate them dipping in a mixture of salt and chilli powder
There came a gorgeous blue butterfly
Challenging me to catch it
Tired after all these activities
Back to my swing, to and fro
Flying high with a feel to touch the sky
It was my unforgettable evening !

Comes the charming prince
In a chariot of white horses
The sky showering stars to welcome him
Cuckoos in their honey voice
Sings about his charm
The wind waving him slowly
Fan of cool breeze
Sun bestowing its light on him
To signify his glowing face
As a courtesy for their love
The prince smiles like a child
There comes the beautiful princess
In a chariot of peacock
Opening her wide black eyes
Admires the prince with a glance
Walking deliberately towards the prince
With a garland of jasmines and roses
Her cheeks turning red with a blush
The prince ready with the garland in his hands
Bowing his head for the princess
Exchanging the garlands with the
Fragrance of jasmines and roses
Showering of colourful flowers as blessings
From the Lords of heaven
Splashing of rain cooling the Mother Earth
Blessing the hearts of couple to freshen
It was....A Heavenly wedding !

It was a mixture of climates
Drizzling with a gentle breeze
Of medicinal Neem leaves
Near my window
In between peeps the sun
To compromise with the rain
Crows building nests
With the falling twigs of trees
Foxes getting married
That was a telling of oldies
Enjoying the friendship of
The rain and the sun
Feeling lucky to see them together !

Near the sea on a rock I lie
Gazing at the vast sky
Sea water pulling my legs
To play with it
Requested not to disturb me
Closing my eyes
But it was not ready to give up
Have to surrender in front of its love for me
Asked me to catch it if I can
It slipped away from my hands
Asked it to make me wet
Ran from it touching me
Played a lot for a long time
It was getting dark
Mother wave came with anger
Scaring me with a terror
Waving goodbye to the sea
Promising to come early the next evening !
