Down the majestic mountain, over the grassy knoll,
Themes verdant, chromatic, summer’s vistas scroll,
Rustling zeal of willows, as zephyrs-avid gently blow,
Propelling tides of vigor, where rivers burbling flow.

Cherishing blooming prairies, birds frolic and trill,
Gliding over scenic valleys, reveling flight of thrill,
Circling back to realm serene vying mirthful trees,
Warbling soft melodies amidst buzzing beats of bees.

Scattering gloomy shapes, clouds tenebrous reign,
Floating haze over horizon, shrouding vibrant terrain,
Unleashing with gusting winds feisty rain showers,
Swirling, whirling mid-air, delicate petals of flowers.

Storm cedes to calming breeze waltzing long shadows,
Quivering in twilight, scintillating face of meadows,
Luring glances of smiles where blossoms of lilies cajole,
Enthralling enamored eyes, as leisurely people stroll.

Inscribing motifs amethyst, as day’s journey slows,
Refracting sun’s golden rays, skyline-amber glows,
When passions of lovers, to blushing eve disclose,
Secret lyrics of passion, hearts romantic compose.

Aw, this is so descriptive Vijayji... your word choice and rhymes excellent.... "Unleashing with gusting winds, feisty rain showers"...I truly got a glimpse of the summers at your place.

Where do i begin praising your work? I have no idea, i am in awe, and speechless, should i highlight how flawless and profound and magical your imagery here is? Or should i mention the rhymes that flow in such creative cadence? This is another fave for me, I truly enjoyed reading, i love the flow and depth of this and the way you’ve expressed here, especially “ secret lyrics of passion..” that last line and your use of gems colors etc is soulfully divine! You are so poetic. Impeccable write

You are slowly becoming the king of romance.. those excellent rhymes which help you poem flow with imagery add to the excellence of this poem.. I think Sotto will love this one... Love this stanza: Cherishing blooming prairies, birds frolic and trill, Gliding over scenic valleys, reveling flight of thrill, Circling back to realm serene vying mirthful trees, Warbling soft melodies amidst buzzing beats of bees.
