True Love
True love is an ever blooming flower,
Never wilts, remains unfallen
even in scorching heat and wind strong.
Can endure all weathers and storms,
Rather it becomes brighter and more vibrant
with every passing moment and hour.
Irrigated by care and lovesome thoughts,
Trust being the sap of the bond
never lets its petals fall apart.
Fragrance of this charming flower
makes the ambience delightful,
infusing in you optimism and warmth.
Subtle pearls of dew drops are the blessings
showered by the Almighty God.
This winsome flower wins over many hearts, even butterflies and honey bees cannot resist its charm,
Well nurtured flower becomes a lucky charm warding off all jinx and never letting evil eyes fall.
Blossom of this winsome flower is not serendipity,
Its maintenance is a tough task.
Be a fortunate owner of this enviable flower, ushering in good luck,
solace and prosperity with every new beautiful blooming dawn.

Are these royal palaces yours?
I’ve lost my home and the light of hope
For they’ve blinded me and i am trying to grope
They wrecked my trees and destroyed my garden
They plucked those tiny quivering plantlets behind the back of my warden
Those who took life away from my unflowered trees
Are these axes and sickles yours?
Are these royal palaces yours?
For those who snatched the food out of my mouth
For those who sucked my blood to kill their drouth
Those who took pleasure out of my misery and pity
For whom our pain was just vague and witty
Those parasites who dipped us into despair
Who took all we had without a tinct of care
Now, they leave in their royal horses and left us to rot
Nothing is left behind , they even took my last pot
Those who gave us eternal pain with no cures
Are these overloaded royal horses yours?
Are these royal palaces yours?
Are these royal palaces yours ?

The Tricolour
An ardent aspirant went to breathe in fresh air on the terrace
Suddenly got stuck at a view just marvellous
Beauty of the rising sun and the green fields
Was more than suffice what mind requires to heal
Here begins a dedicated aspirants’ imagination
One who’s always eager to know more and establish a connection
The colours of these natural beauties appeared to
him as of our National Flag
Its amazing how wonderfully his perceptibility dragged
Numerous notions in a seconds or few
Sir Venkayya who designed the Tricolour was really a legend to be true
His mind then quickly shifted towards the symbolism
So Saffron on the top denotes renunciation
Path of truth is being symbolised by white
Ashoka Chakra in the centre teaches us that in movement lies life
The green shows our relation to plant life and soil
The independence we are enjoying today is the outcome of our Great Freedom Fighter’s toil
“I’m really proud to be an Indian! “, he exclaimed to himself
To our Great Leaders and freedom fighters he owed huge respect .
