Seven pearls

Turquoise blue
Swirling
Under Powerful hoofs
Mermaids swim by
Nymphs arise
To harness
Seven pearls
With chariot of fire
robe of flames
flying
Apollo surfaces
Beautiful dawn
Waits in the sky.

“Love won’t wait
For too long
To be adored.
It’s a precious jewel
It won’t lie scattered
In the dust for too long.
A knowing eye, a caring hand
Will pick it up to adorn a crown.”

“When your heart yearns
Longs for a special soul
Why wait till eternity?
Till love grows cold?
If not now, then when?
On the day of his funeral?
Or his wedding day to the other
Will you claim your love for him?”

True love Knows
no procrastination
it knows its destination
too well.

Those who think too much
Wait too much
Toy between
The options too much.

Often wake up one day
To see
Love has gone away
Found someone else.

A jewel never
Lies in dust undesired
It soon finds its place
Where it is desired.

Two lovers

Two lovers
Sitting together side by side
At the farthest end
Of the wooden jetty
Heading to the ocean.

Morning sun has showered
Cascade of gold on every thing
The sky, the ocean, the clouds
All are painted in pure gold
Their silhouette is painted in it.

Distinct, separate from the world
Mingled in each other
So much lost in one another
Its hard to they are
Two separate beings, not one.

I stood their watched them for a while
Then I turned away with a smile
Thinking I should not disturb
That pure, serene sunrise
Under the gorgeous, golden sky.

Soft sunrise

Soft sunrise
Gentle sunrise
The most beautiful one
Of my whole life.
My head is on your shoulder
Your arms around me.
The sun rises in the east
Blue sky turns into pink.

A soft morning breeze
Blowing to touch us
As we sit side by side
Morning sun greets us
It seems the sky has borrowed
The glowing pink of our hearts
Have generously sprinkled
It all over the earth.

Sun rises on ocean

Deep blue ocean with touch of emerald green
Kissing the blue sky in horizon
Deep red sun slowly opening its eyes
Spreading its red hue all over them
The sky, the ocean, the foams and clouds.

A riot of colours have started
Every thing is sprinkled with red
The white foams have turned pink
The white clouds have turned red
The sun looks at them with great glee.

sunrise

The glowing orange sun
appearing and disappearing
in western and eastern horizon
sunrise and sunset they are called.

In between them they hold
the earth in its full glory
its children play games
within these two boundaries

Sunrise opens their eyes
to a new day full of hope
love, desire, despair or pain
reminds them they are still alive.

Sun bids goodbye with sunset
with the promise of another dawn
a night it leaves behind
for souls longing for rest or not.
