Beloved

Bring out the cymbals bring out the drums

The sun is shining- leaves are swaying, dancing

Flowers are laughing, birds are singing

Blue sky beckoning me to run away

From the poison fumes, the masked people

On the streets,at the malls - everywhere

Mind is bubbling with words but not enough

to paint the charm of nature-- I cannot !


Begin scattering your perfumed petals

My beloved has arrived ! my beloved has arrived !

"Oh stars sparkle from heaven, sing the rhythm

My beloved has arrived ! my beloved has arrived !

She is very shy - my beloved , don't make her blush

How lovely she looks among the green grass lush 

Leave me alone ! Leave us alone in solitude !

Let me enjoy, savour the gift of her gratitude

Lips soft, moist, fragrant rose petal

Her heavenly garb- wondrous smile-she's no mortal !!!


'Twas decades ago when I last met her

Time has melted behind me but she has moved afar

from my woven dreamy web of modern life & living

She's the beautiful,beautiful dream again come true

I can't express in words how much I really love you


Come closer, closer till I can feel your warmth

Your love,affection, your laughter , your mirth

Your love is sunshine in the frigid winter

Your laughter -- the chirping singing birds at dawn

Your mirth the soft glowing sun at dawn

For you it is only fun !!!!!!!


I yearn for your affection 

I try to grope towards your direction

You gloom when the flowers wither

, dry petals fall off

Nobel Laureate Tagore wrote of the pansies by the roadside

Great modern poets trample and cast aside

Beauty of the rainbow,the cool spray of the rain

When pricked by a tiny thorn why I grimace in pain ?

Pain the price for the unlimited treasure trove

Nature has handed in plenty without any limits


Lush green leaves , flowers now droop in shame

Cars belching poison fumes at them is only a game

THe GAME Modern Man playing with nature

Go back to your abode beloved there's NO HOPE in Future

Maybe someday true sense will dawn................... It may be too late then. I think Cevance style rose in skull.

Makes me mad....and sad. That

Makes me mad....and sad.

That means it's good. Man kills his beloved.  Earth commits planetary 'seppuku'.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I would love to have this

I would love to have this affect on someone that would cause them to write such enthusiastic and charming poetry! It's contagious! Love it! Wonderful! 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
