In Pursuit

Entered the dense wilderness; 
Huge trees mantled together, 
Seem to reach the sunless skies, 
And their tender leaves turn 
Vibrant with soft tips smelling sweet.
No golden rays dare to peep
Through their leafy pinnacle, 
Where only the little bird, fond, 
With rosy mouth opened, 
Craved for digested drops
From her tiny mom's blessed beak.
Even the noon-shades gild 
The cool turf, as creepers
Grew in thought-interludes.
Large fleshy frogs, disguise in 
Rotting forest flora
To save themselves from the cool, 
Silken-skinned, tongue-split hunters.
Wild blooms, full with passions, 
Sensuously nodded at the 
Dark-headed Drones flew by.
Calm below the leafy thatch 
Turned all, living and non ON.
One could simply measure, 
View and feel the nature seductive.
To where shall One escape from 
Haunting passions, thoughts and moods
That made life so despondent! 
The safest haven ever, seem, 
Would, sure, be instincts pure.
