Appa

Vibhuti shone on forehead,
clad in dhoti he towered.
Adorned with a holy thread,
all the knowledge empowered.
Tho gruffy he appeared,
for his look seemed severe.
Sporting a stylish beard -
I wish he was still here.
Now memories fill instead.
Lies unridden his moped.

Hudson River

Sunlight streams thru and illumines distances afar.

The long piers stretch across gleaming like solar bars.

The yachts stroll as the river rolls along the skyline.

Away for buzz one hears the hum of the morn hour.

Niagara

From the high mountains she tumbles and rolls,
reaching the brim of the deep valley's cup.
Then drops gustily with thunder and roar,
displaying the might that nature stores up.
She bounces on rocks with vigour untold,
sprinkling fountains of water with much force.
Appears as tho many tongues unfold,
each gushing from a mysterious source.
Such enveloped in her magical mist,
the rainbows spread their long colourful wings.
Dazed I stand this dazzling whiteness amidst,
and wonder how unblinking she so blings.
If ever a structure that portrays love-
matchless remains the architect above.

Glass

Face the chink now echoes glass.
Blur seems while truth shows.
Gaze cannot eye tho unveils mask.
Stir memories gross.

Thug

Sparkling eyes pop me awake.

Laughters echo in my mind.

Every breath her name intakes

longs for the clock to rewind.

Soul seeks those lips fiery.

Her breath engulfs, surreal.

The touch now imagery-

limbs quiver for the real.

Steal me away you old thug.

Enwrap me in your love-hug.

Hopscotch

Pearls of laughter reverberated across the ground.

A pebble floated and twirled, and then clunked on the ground.

A girl spiralled in the air and landed on a square.

Children oohed - her ponytail bounced, and her smile profound.

The Moon Walk

The full moon unfolded its golden wings,

and tickled her ever so shining face.

The long languorous yawns blurred her musings,

but she shook away the nocturnal haze.

The tidings of the sea beckoned her soul.

Pearly waves rolled and unrolled with new sounds.

Along the shore with just her thoughts she strolled.

The sand caressed - reveries knew no bounds.

A boat waltzed to the rhythm of her steps -

they seemed wanting to splat across the beach.

Purple shells lay scattered from ocean’s depths -

told tales that only her ears could reach.

Her mind buzzed but words remained unspoken.

Her footprints firm - the silence unbroken.
