SOMETHING SPECIAL

Do not know, where gone your

Attentiveness, as you loved me

Before intensely, I’m missing

The grip, tenderness, those killing

Sting, the flames of passion, would

Not you akin to clarify candlelit

Evening again, in the shadow of

Banyan tree, behind the heap of

Broken Terracotta wares, the first

Kiss, did not appeal you, wild lemon

Blossom tree, summer twilight

Sinking claret rays of sun into the

Hyacinth merged pond, where gone

That Craziness, to see me you ran

Bare foot, in the darkness, on the

Thorny path, close to the temple of

Hindu empire, I had removed

The broken piece of glass from your

Soft leg, did you remember that

Moment, teardrop of your eyes were

Falling down to my neck, kissing

To piercing point, you embraced me

Unknowingly and said you couldn’t

Live without me, lemon tree bloomed

Water lilies, hyacinth stalk, everything

Is existed in its place, I’m waiting

For you, as ancient shrine waits every

Twilight for priest, for a glance of light

Some moments in love heart wants

To lit the melted candles, life doesn’t

Wish to wipe the sweet memories

It has a different zest or pain, 

Something special close to heart.

MEANINGFUL LIFE

Believe or not, beloved friend, I have

Seen the blooming life in your awesome

Eyes, admit or not, but it’s true that

Often you sit in the swarm, feel solitude!

You do smile, may be laugh, the emptiness

A flow of lacking someone covers the

Persona, agitated mind searches me every

Where, wet wind carries sweet aroma

A weaving process goes day and night,

Dreams sleep inside the fine silky fibers

Of emotion, aesthetic knitted cocoon of

Heart, the flimsy feeling, unseen stirring

Fills the colors in the life, someone enforced

Us to meet as soon as feasible, passion

To touch the beautiful flowers, search the

Gods in the stones, a meaning to see the

Purity of smile in the lips of sleeping infant,

A care, affection, brings the mind toward

Nature, heart creates the lovely poetries

Values of life swiftly turn in the softness of

Humanity, everything looks more dazzling,

Life gets a diverse outlook, way of survival

Becomes fascinating, flourish wild calls us -

Body develops fresh tissues, stoma, in the

Reunion point, a fragrance all the times

Release from unknown origin, we feel that!

Speechless moment says that we love to

Each other, as moon and moon light, the

Night flowers open the corolla, whorls of

Petals gradually submit their conceit, aroma

Are eager to climb through the reverse

Path of moonlight, it makes the life meaningful.
