Crooked teeth

Crooked teeth

Happiness
haunted
with
Jagged teeth
And
Crooked Lips
Smiles
quickly taken down
Once I remember what they look like

Me and Rosey did a collaboration were I wrote a poem from my perspective and she wrote the same one from hers...here's the link to her interconnected poem https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2003580/crystal-smile/ Rosey is such an amazing poet and this was a wonderful collaboration :)

Expression.

Expression.

When words are deemed superfluous.
Maybe it’s time to make a fuss
As how else other than in verse
Would one attempt to pass
A message across to a large mass.

Just wondering how life would be
without the convenience
of the presence
of words.

The BhramaKamal Blooms

The BhramaKamal Blooms

Years Ago ,
A leaf
Presented by my Niece ,
Nurtured and Nourished
Weeded and Pruned
The Plant ,
Vivacious and Green
This time of the year
Gloriously blooms

Bhrama Kamal
'Queen of the Night'
A beauty Rare
Mystic and Divine

Twilight ,
Your beauty Unveils
Milky white Petals Slowly Unfurl
A translucent Sheen
Makes my Spirit Gleam

By Midnight,
Your beauty Shimmers
The gentle breeze of the night
Wafts
The fragrance of the Exotic Blooms
Into the Rooms

The scintillating Blooms
In Harmony with The beauteous Moon
Cast a Spell
For me
And
The Starlit Sky to Revel

Your beauty all Divine and Pure
Wilts Away
Shying
The Dawn
The Sun enchanted
By The Magical Dream
Lost in The Mystical Allure

This year on 9thAugust , two flowers bloomed .
Had one more bloom on 14 th September:)

Your Smile

Your Smile

Your Smile
When my love you smile you look more beautiful
Your smile being unique takes over the universe
You are so pure and chaste like a wonderful angel
Hence you are so gorgeous and so lovingly diverse
I have appreciation but you deserve more than that
Hence you have intoxicated me with beauty's wine
Under any definition you are mesmeric and just great
Please take my hand in yours declare you're mine
Intensity of my love if you intend to ever measure
With the fiery passion of mine you will but burn
For me you are eternal pleasure as well as treasure
Even if you leave magnet of love will make return

My Love Is Gone

My Love Is Gone

Tonight there're no stars, no moon
in my painful sky
Maybe they're done
talking to me
and caring about me
Because my love is gone!

This darkest night loves me,
loves to make me sad
Maybe night is done
making me sleep
and cooling me down
Because my sweetie is gone!

This morning has no flowers
to smell pretty all day
Maybe they're done
making me happy
and charming me forever
Because my darling is gone!

The birdsong has none left
to give to me for the new day
Maybe they're done
waking me up
and making me ready for the day
Because my sweetheart is gone!

The oceans have no love for me
to make me waves
Maybe they're done
letting me stream
and playing waterskiing
Because my dreams are gone!

The rain has stopped falling for me
at this moment
Maybe it has done
singing for me
and dancing with me
Because my life is gone!

Today I have nothing left
to love myself anymore
Maybe everything is gone
Because my love is done!
