when the gulmohar blooms
spring lets out a sigh
its sigh sounds in wind
when her flowers fly
one after the other
far away from tree
one by one they scatter
spreading a carpet on green
a carpet of fiery red and orange hue

Flower fairy
Her tiny wings white as dew
Flutter with joy
As she flies from flower to flower
Waking them up with her soft kisses.
Spending some time with each one
Just before flying off to the next
Her mornings are busy
Spreading joy, happiness and colours.
In the night she comes down
Swinging on the beams of moon
Her paintbrush and palette in hand
She softly wakes up the buds.
She happily paints them in multiple hues
Painting living dreams on petals
Then fills them up with fragrance
And sleeps with them for a while.

Queen of spring 7.09.10
Hush behold her
Flying like butterfly
Flower to flower
Blessing them all.
Roses steal ruby hue
From her ruby lips
Violets borrow
Shades of her blue eyes.
Chariots of moonbeams
Carry her down here
Rays of sunbeam
Take her back home.
Fairy of flowers
Queen of spring
Comes down to earth
To scatter fragrant dreams.

sleeping seed
Promises, hopes and dreams
Tightly bundled within
Covered by a hard shell
Sleeps in the fertile womb
Green leaves slowly make way
As soil parts to let them
To see the golden sunshine
To kiss rain, wind and sunrays.
They reach out for the golden sun
Their bodies getting tough every day
Hopes and dreams sprout as leaves
Branches spread out everywhere.
Flowers bloom, fruits ripe
Birds build nest, beasts feast
Who would have imagined
A tight kernel holding a dream divine!
