                                 THE SINISTER
Erase not
For denial most unacceptable
Love flows unabated
Dauntless as the brave soldier
Yet nimble as a modest maiden
It is here! It is here!
O water! I defty thy depth
Thou measure mine
Apt perfection embedded
O earth! I salute thee
Open thy interior
And let the seedling of  hope be mine
I busy scribbling
He seems editing
The saga was mine
O let the shine be thine
Wonder why so
Fallacious was not so malicious
The sinister still most hideous
The occult now needs revelation

Fortitude and GratiTude
Though the heart’s rose
Has withered
Like a glass
Dreams shattered
Though great is the loss
And pain intense,
The way around
Is not despondence
But fortitude
With positive thought
And gratitude
To almighty God.

ONE EVE AT MY PATIO
The little white clouds are racing in the sky,
Night is coming closer and closer.
An all prevasive darkness in the sky and my life!
I can sense an evil foreboding,
I can hear the funeral toll,
Whose?….
I don’t know
The chill breeze tells a tale,
Hark! O Hark! A tele of betrayal-
A gruesome, lethal, dismal betrayal!
The birds are returning to their nests,
And whispering some tale of love,
With lips of flame and heart of stone!
One woman observing all alone,
Has closed her doors,
False moon! False light!
False everything!

    LOVE OF CHILDREN
Love of children make me laugh and cry,
In their innocence to live, I too try,
Their ways are selfless and caring,
Whatever they do is not to show
but for sharing,
Their thoughts are a nature evolve,
Not around himself alone
their actions revolve,
They do what they feel is right,
Though a child, still for
their right they fight,
They carry no evil thoughts
in their heart,
For everyone good feelings
they have got,
They live their days in their own ways,
Without mincing words whatever they wish they say,
That is the way I would love to be,
There is no better way
they wish everyone to be.

MEMORIES
I once was going down
the memory lane;
it took me a while
to figure out…..
whether recalling everything,
was a boon or a bane!!!!
I had treasured every
move of yours in my heart;
“YOU” n “I”….was what,
I had dreamt of…..
although it pained
a lot to be away,
but separation as destined,
was a life’s part!!!!
I laughed , I cried ,
I blushed , I sang;
cherishing every moment
of togetherness….
only a glimpse of
you approaching, and,
my heart throbbed
with a bang!!!!
Reliving the past time….isn’t too bad;
You have so
much to remember…..
but the only condition is that,
if you don’t have anything to be sad!!!!
