Indian monsoon

Dancing: frogs, peacocks and farmers;
Singing: birds, women and the lovers;
Set to welcome: farms, ponds, rivers;
Prepared: boatmen, municipality, villagers.

Hearts glow: as the music of rain dropp pierce
falling at leaves, roof tops; into the ears
Alert are: government and river side dwellers
Ready with umbrella, raincoat; the hawkers.

Blessed are farmers, expecting better crops.
Blissful the children, of rainy day leisure hope.
Stressed are poor, whose huts, houses are of mud.
Depressed are flood affected people and old.

All around greenery and watery,
for the nation, a boon
The Indian monsoon

Hummingbird

Hummingbird! keep on humming your wings,
With lavender feathered wings hover in wind.
Nectar of sweet petals sweeten your hymn,
Just in half syllables, is your chirping chime.
On a tree near brook, sitting in the serenity
You sigh for your mate, one who is celebrity.
You see his show of swoop before resonating
affirmation of acceptance for your mating.
Our contract is for this spring and not forever
I know little creature this is what you whisper.
In architected nest two pretty pearls are laid;
In three months, have to become hummingbird.

Mate of mankind, you are the love teacher.
Perhaps they gave idea of the helicopter.

Heather's Lesson

Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow like heather and smile with glory.
Serving deserving, deserve admiration
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.

Exist to help others in habitation
and be protective like heather's story,
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow your face and smile with glory.

***
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures.
Being selfless give help to everyone;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.

Tells Heather: serving get admiration.
Smile, while spreading color and flavor;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures

Magical mistletoe

Shadow of you gives a chance,
everyone to have the romance.
We both kissed under
that's reason we are together.

But to kiss plants of my favour,
I will allow Mr. Mistletoe never.
Because cuddling branches of their
may pain them, chances are fair.

Though you are the parasite
but always seen you vegetarian
Your presence cannot be ignored
in our custom and our religion.

Under you we seek vitality,
love, happiness and fertility.
You are remedy for barrenness
representing the male essence.

I Be Or Don't Be (A Song)

I be or don’t be
Would be spreading whiff
As a blossom, As a bud
In the orchard of love
I be or don‘t be

Whatever the weather
I always will be there
To keep the orchard fresh
And in colour of desire
Will be watering it ever
As a blossom as a bud
The orchard of love
I be or don’t be

I will unfurl my shirt
And sway in the breeze
Will glow like flower
On the blossom trees
Would spread fragrance

Poor Villagers

Though god has given many good things
but deprived from most civic facilities.
Can't have good school and hospital
to get employment least opportunity.

No access to technological development
roads and transport quality very poor.
Half of government budget for projects
simply becomes corruption's devour.

Natural resources are captured by rich
social resources by bureau- political people.
Legal system is petite before politicians
system is succumbed before influential.

In under developed countries, the villager's
meagre earning and poor living condition
looks they're waiting in halfway houses
yet to begin process of social integration.

Father

It was my father who gave his
shoulders to make me ride.
In his arms and on his thighs
felt above all and pride.

Being head of the family
he was strict on discipline
Paid exclusive attention
involving with children.

His love, his guidance
paid significant role;
in my development
and getting my most goals.

To become a real human
he taught the lesson.
Always supported financially
for career and education.

Tv

The idiot box progressed in idiotic way
done so long journey just in few decades.
Black and white to colour of sizes varied
analogue to digital, CRT to Plasma, LCD, LED;
high resolution, PIP, HDD and three D
Going smart every day
don't know the future, where journey will end.

One hand shrinked the world
divided the society in classes on other-
children, ladies, cookery, sports, realty;
placed extra load on brain and eyes.
One way helped learn, entertain,
on other kept away play and social interact.

Whatever may be, pierced so deep in life
became immense companion;
We cannot live without a TV

Heart is tiny, Hopes are high

Heart is tiny, Hopes are high
On top of the world, wants to fly.

Wants to surf, in mid of the ocean;
Wants to climb, Highest the mountain;
Always willing, to touch the sky.
Heart is tiny, Hopes are high

Wants to shine, like a bright star;
Wants to race in, the worlds' best car;
Lighter as feather, wants to glide.
Heart is tiny, Hopes are high

All things happen, On its commands;
Every thing comes to, When it demands;
Whole beauty of world, wants in eyes.
Heart is tiny, Hopes are high

Better if it does some good deed
Helps the poor and who are in need

Sydney my Love

Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
Pretty pretty place,
Plenty- plenty beauty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
First rays of sun –
Spread here fun,
Splendour and majesty,
Nothing so beauty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
Tidy beaches, green green trees,
Heavenly blowing cool cool breeze,
Kissing the shore waves sporty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
Fort Dension, port Jackson,
Kings Cross, Opera attraction,
Harbour bridge, Bondi beach,
Place to find calm & peace,
Sydney is our identity.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
Kangaroo, emu, blue mountain,
