O lovely lady, poised for flight!
In the wondrous floral seas
Lightly lilting on the breeze
A flute of orange fulsome light!

Caesalpinia pulcherrima
Latin lover from tropic climes
With a dance, a sulry mime
I stand with longing as I see ya!

With antennai you touch the air
Zephyrs of sweet paradise
You could melt the frigid ice
With the fire of your stare!

O, how you send your leaves aloft!
Feathers like a Sensitive Plant
Small and delicate they slant
Your floral offering, clustered, soft

Though it be strange... you are a pea!
Yes, you own that family name
Wild though, you can't be tamed

Bird of Paradise!

YOU ARE FREE!!!

The Mexican Bird of Paradise grows in tropical, subtropical and desert areas. It is a very hardy and beautiful plant!

The flowers are clustered bright orange and yellow with little feelers that come out from the center. The leaves of this plant I like Acacia leaves. Very small. This prevents the plant from losing too much water. We have one growing right by our porch and I love to look at it! It is truly inspiring in its pulchritudinous pea-ness!
LOL!

The gem of eons, a breath from procreation.
Diamond girl whose radiant shimmering brilliance everwhere,
Precious like a humming bird's fluttering ballet across
the miles thumping, blooming, circling mechanical planet's churn.

Gaia's sprouting within millennials and ghost archives,
Caesalpinia's in jolt,
dandelions swivel into the blue giant above
as we run across green fields chasing birds capturing molecules, an essence of birth from our start.

I freeze the moment.
Click the shutter in my minds eyes and breath in.
Father time is rounded ubiquitous and tapping on my shoulder,
we fight, we hug, we talk laugh and cry.

Your my star-light in the midnights in my life.
I'll battle dragons, lepper's, thief's and tyrant's to protect my priceless princess.
An infinite germination of lovely and bright smiles.
A piece of art,
swipes, stokes, illuminating those adjacent,
generosity painted all over you.

Curious, like kittens in the spring-timeburst of floral,
the energy of a thousand supernovas hides in the filaments of your young mind.

An Einstein, a monet, a ford and a connection to the mystery of life.

A child of much wonder.
Go on and tackle the world you mighty kid!
Fight who or what ever comes your way.

the ritual
was draped
in ember

assemblage of eyes
watched-- so curious,
but oblivious

purging
in the flickering fire,
it wasn't

a campfire
for the ancestry of sorrow,
it was

where crimson sap
partaken in abundance— 
from their own slaughter of Caesalpinia,

never could quench
the history
of rueful roots

Fagun came back silently
The murmur of falling leaves stopped,
Soul thrilled as the south wind blows
As if nectar flowed from the blue sky.

Countless flowers bloomed in the forest,
Silk cotton, Butea, Bud flowers filled all eyes.

In the colors of Caesalpinia pulcherrima, nature laid out
The elusive earth catch in maroon color,
She looks amazingly glamorous
Fill the heart with joy.

The river flows slowly with murmuring sound
Two eyes are fascinated by the scenery,
Feels proud to describe
The footsteps of poetry are enriched.
Fagun is a month of spring in Bengali calendar.

I lost my mind
In the vast field of green village
I lost my mind
At the river side of Shimultali quay.

I lost my mind
In the colored flowers of Caesalpinia pulcherrima
I lost my mind
At the canal of Matamuhuri.

I lost my mind
At the village market of Rangunia
I lost my mind
At the stalk of blossomed Lotus.

I lost my mind
By the tune of the lonely shephard
I lost my mind
By the silent song of the Jamuna river.
Note: Bengali name of Caesalpinia pulcherrima is Krishnachura. Here some renowned places of Bangladesh have been cited.
(Some childhood memories)

Cuckoo sings on the branch in tunes, are filled with southern bay
Eager to look to the sky, whatever one wants.

Sitting on the bank of a calm lake, the bard in a bored way
After leaving this village, which way will he go?

Woke up in the shining morning, the early sun
Gently opens the eyes, a nocturnal in the forest.

Slowly slowly flows the river, towards the sea
It is going on indefinitely, till it reaches the destination.

Coming and going of magpie, running all over the field
On the dew-drenched grass, the village farmer walks.

Caesalpinia pulcherrima spreads its color, at the moment of Fagun
The sweet fragrance of Amrapali, filled the entire forest.

The little girl woke up, with a smile on her face
I love the face, that is full of affection.
Fagun is a month of Spring in Greater Bengal.
