A Autumn Tree

Gazing at the lawn outside;
Mind captivated with romantic thoughts;
The tree, enchanted eyes of whom ever it met;

Her slender bark enduring the perils of nature;
Tinted leaves feared at the sight of the autumn wind;
Sleek branches ready to redress in snow;

The crescent clasped by her and held high
Autumn blossoms tantalized anyone who passed by
A mere glance at her, Mother Nature is personified.

Lady Of My Life

Outlining those adorable eyes
Her eyebrows like two streams
Pouring into the seas, meet at her nose bridge
Suspended in the ocean of love, those eyeballs
So pure; So peaceful; So lovely
Captivates mine heart when met.
Her nose gushing like waterfalls branches out
She’s totally an angel beyond description
Perhaps the architect of human herself
The best person of my life –
That’s my Mother
Not a secret left unshared
Not a thought left unargued
Not a day passed without our fights
She always was, is and will be
My great Mother; My fabulous mentor
My exceptional guide, guiding me through my life
After all the disagreement, misunderstandings & fights
We always get to know each other better

Multi-faced persons encountered
Second-by-second enacting different faces
Authority with the undeserving
Unworthy worthily recognized
Worthy thriving unrecognized
Need of the hour is to change
Enemy to friend
Love to hate
Sorrow to happiness

Passions changing overnight
