As sunlight inspects its hue, The summer morning dew, Quickly bids the Sun adieu. Was it Dawn’s archer’s bow, Or perhaps in times long ago, Grass, trees, shrub and flower, Volunteered for daily adventure, To the secret gardens Babylon. Where, each morning the Sun Melts heaven’s permafrost ice, Into a sacred hanging chalice, Then carefullyContinue reading “Life’s morning cup – A Poem”

Summer – A Poem
Blushing in Ocean white brocade, Summer catches Spring’s bouquet. An effortless fashionista seamstress, Skillfully arranging nature’s dress. Elegant train skirts the shoreline cove; Warm days, welcomed waves of love.
From the ground up – A Poem
The tiny world of ants from the ground up Where, every rock; Kilimanjaro’s table top. Every drop of water; life-giving Brahmaputra, Every speck of dust; the ruddy cliffs of Petra, Every swaying leaf, umbrellas of the sky, Every sound of vegetation, nature’s hi-fi, Every root, columns in Solomon’s temple, Every sound, chimes from Mingun’s bell,Continue reading “From the ground up – A Poem”
Sacrifice – A Poem
Everything, you Have endured, Have sacrificed, To live in this moment; Was Not For Nothing.
Heat – A Poem
Clip clapping in flip flops on coals for pavement, Where heat waves hatch briquettes for cement. Fainting ice cream bars unsuccessfully seek shade, Behind once chilled tongue twisting lemonade. Barbecued scotch bonnets in pickle produce, Sticks of dynamite masquerading as hot sauce. Rear-view memories, luxurious sauna to the bone, Tropical heat and heart warming coalsContinue reading “Heat – A Poem”
Extravagant bouquets – A Poem
Extravagant bouquets in the veil of June, Scatter shadow patterns in the afternoon. A sachet of lavender, something old. A garland of freesia, something new. Gloves of larkspur, something blue. While, hydrangeas throw their petals in the aisle, Propose courtship with the month of June, in style.
Engine of ourselves – A Poem
Created in earthly labor, Raised in stages of rest. We blink and the eyes rest. We breathe and the lungs rest. We speak as the ears listen. Spring abounds as winter expires. Summer simmers as Spring rests. Fall exhales, other seasons inhale. Nature’s coming in and going out, A looking glass into the engine ofContinue reading “Engine of ourselves – A Poem”
A stroll in the woods – A poem
A stroll in the woods, stumbles into a clearing of trees, Warmth, serenades yellow blooms in the breeze. Hummingbirds helicopter to the golden bistros, Ordering candied nectar as fast as they please. Bees competing for the same sumptuous cup, Wax eloquent chorus floating to a buttercup. Thorns of the day trumpeting the heart, Vanish unexpectedlyContinue reading “A stroll in the woods – A poem”
Noontime rain – A Poem
A not uncommon noontime occurrence, Visceral storms pirouette in the distance, The once vibrant sun cloaks in darkness. Sweeping in from nowhere in the visible spectrum, Strong winds dispatch the ominous vortex to Elysium. Once threatening torrent, now wind-kissed noontime rain. Locals accustomed to this magical phenomenon, Siesta to a water pitter-patter lullaby refrain.
Candelabra Palaces- A Poem
Morning showers poured from Dawn’s chalices, Transform rain-clouds into candelabra palaces. The glistening pendants descend in the dark, On lawns and gardens, they make their mark. As quickly as they land, the watery gems escape, Leaving once dry tundra, a now sparkling landscape.
