journey to light

burning bright sun
softly rippling crystal
blended with gray
splattered with milk
dancing under my oar
my little boat
glides forward
facing the sun

white mountain sunrise

touch of crimson on
milk white mountain
nature’s painting

morning breeze

Red rays of dawn sun
turn crystal river orange
sweet morning breeze laughs

the lotus

morning sun touches
red fragrant lotuses bloom
red embraces red.

Aphrodite

rising from blue
breaking the shackles of sea
reaching for the sun

girl from Bengal

Your path is covered
with soft, green grass
scattered dew drops
shine like stars
on that velvet green

white petals of harsingars
lie there like pieces of dream
your softer feet
touch the earth
golden hued with tinge of red
like a pair of lotuses
they kiss the ground
with gentle grace

birds sing sweetly
to cheer you up
payel softly chime
to add some music
to your graceful walk.

the crystal water ripples
crimson tides dance
morning sun opens his eyes
to look down upon you
he too is confused
who is more beautiful
you or the lotuses
that are blooming in the pond
you leave them wondering
fill up your pitcher and return.

Crown of dawn

Burning crown
Of dawn
Pink reflection
Of her brow,
cheeks and lips
on the earth below
Crystal creek
sparkles in red,
Snowy peaks
burn in pink hue
White mist
Twirls her gown
To save its
Pearly glow

castle

long ago
it was a home
now its empty
beautiful shell.

the ocean breeze
comes to kiss
its sandstone body
all day and night

moon shines down
sun smiles
at the empty castle
forgotten by men

nature gently weaves
her green gown
around her rocky body
to enhance her charm

man takes away
God giveth back
That’s the glory
Of the life.

sunrise

Another dawn wakes up the earth:

Golden sun God
Opens his eyes
discards the turquoise satin
Laced with white foam
bids goodbye to his lady

wraps his pearly robe
laced with golden bells
riding on his chariot
of seven pearly steeds
leaves his ocean home

to guide the world
Through another glorious day
sharing his warmth
sharing his light
with everyone around him.

the waves sing his glory
the birds sing their choir
to welcome his rising
in the azure endless heaven
as light envelops the world again.

My heart- love for nature

My heart soars with your birds
When they swim in ocean of air
Sings out with them
To praise your glory.

My heart swims
In your river, ocean and ponds
Dives deep in you
Surfaces refreshed and cool.

My heart blows with your wind
Kisses all over your body
Touches every thing in you
Unbounded, unleashed, free.

My heart dwells in you
It shines with your sun
Dreams with your moon
Twinkles with your stars.

Sun and moon

Golden God Apollo rises up to the sky
On his seven horse chariot
Bidding sweet goodbye
To the beautiful ocean nymphs.

The Goddess of dark night
Silver moon waits
For him to come up
To bid him goodbye.

The ocean turns white
By the churning
of the steed’s legs
Waves come frothing to the shore.

The solitary beach watches
The greetings exchanged
Between two celestial bodies
Up in heaven above.
