Banyan Tree Poems

Grand old banyan tree

A majestic banyan tree standing tall and free,
Ages old, witnessing my  life's journey .
In the lane's corner, its presence stays,
Reminding me of trajectory of  happiness and sorrows.

I reminisce sitting by my bunglow's windowpane,
Watching roots curled deep, like life's enduring strain.
Birds nesting high, their songs so sweet,
Leaves fluttering green, and children squealing with delight

Rainbow's End

I’ve walked	
	Many a mile
Since every Rainbow’s End
	Was just a wish away 
Every pot of gold
	Has stayed a wish ahead
I’ve walked 
	Many a mile
Through smoke-filled haze
	And alcoholic daze
		Melody now gone
	From lonesome cities
I took no time
	To listen then
Now I’ll sit a while 
	By the Banyan Tree 
		Draw its cosmic force
	Replenish my spirit
		My energy
	Journey on to
		Find hope at
			The
		Rainbow’s

Me and Memories

Me and memories

There I stand,
No, not amidst the chaos!!
But by the side of a coffee shop.
I hardly change even as years pass by;
Expressionless, lofty being, I say!

Sipping their coffee or tea
Some tiny creatures encircle me,
Perhaps for my shed and bench to settle;
Still never one way, their convos entertain.

Oh! There I see,
Two birds flying different ways
Will

The Banyan Tree

The Banyan Tree

The banyan tree stands tall,
come rain or mighty squall,
it rests, serene,
but never unseen,
its branches guarding us all.

The Great Banyan Tree Speaks :: the Clare Sonnet

For two and half centuries standing lone
witnessed how people's thought process have grown;
Decades of sighting made me to discern
the way people behave made me perturb.
Is it that the human value system
debased; what about the old tradition?
Respect for tree missing, they're destroying
nature too, creating its annoyance.
Migrating birds are avoiding to fly
how they'd live, don't know why

Overlooked Beauty

Overlooked beauty

At the backyard of my colony's lane
Crumbles an old banyan tree slowly on verge of getting waned

Not worthy of a second glance
An overlooked beauty as in forgotten time's trance

Pulchritude ignored by almost every passer-by
Sole witness of ever changing world since ages below heavenly skies

Must have given shade to countless travellers in scorching summers
Birds slept

Je T'Aime 'Neath a Banyan Tree - Erotic Verse

The story behind this poem
The curiosity of many of my readers (many of them women) was excited in my previous poem ‘Passion in Black and White’ POTD 6 March. They wanted to know more about the ‘Magical Tree’ and Café’ in the poem. 

This is the beginning of the story the grandiose Banyan tree, a

That Banyan Tree

The  village  where  my  father was  born.
After  many  years
Still  has not   changed
Except  that    electricity   has arrived  ,
The  road  blacktopped  has deteriorated,
And  thatched-roof  houses  are  hardly  seen.
Yet  what  I

A Banyan Tree In My Courtyard

A banyan tree in my courtyard
 That I had planted ten years ago
 Looks beautiful with its large limbs
 As if a beauty queen of monsoon
 Were entering her adolescence

 It smiles when gusts of cool wind
 Touch it with adorable feelings
 Droplets of rain seems curious
 To entice it with intoxicating gestures

 When banyan

The Banyan Tree

The Banyan Tree

I the Atlas carry a home 
My master strong for his
Children seven had built.
Shorts and skirts 
Thunder up my shoulders,
All hell let lose,
With their galloping horse-hooves,
Ride up the stairs full a twenty.
Doomsday be here
While they make a merry!
Platoons of ghosts, 
Burst through the door,
Somersaults quaking me, to and fro.
My arms aching in holding

Like a Banyan Tree

Like a Banyan Tree, 
my roots (seeking rebirth),
from eldest, outstretched limbs, descend
to a heartening earth.

Like a Banyan Tree
on hilltop with grand stance,
love from embossed gold earth and sky,
shall help my soul's expanse.

Spirit rustles arches
of my highest leaves.
Life flows through my core,
my dawns, my days, my eves.

Banyan Tree

Feel the ambience grand,
Old boughs spread a charm;
New era greets span,
Dreams in gracious psalms.
Blessings from old times,
Affluence spreads new trace;
Note sensorial chimes,
Yield blessings of grace;
An old friend my dear,
Now calmly awaits.
Truth and trust find cheer,
Reach a deeper fate;
Embrace stillness here,
Explain wonders dear.

An Autobiography of a Banyan Tree

I am a Banyan tree,
More than hundred years old,
Near a beautiful lake I stand,
In the heart of Mother Nature.

During my life span I have seen,
Days both good and bad,
I have experienced the strong forces of nature,
Surviving them courageously.

I have grown tall and strong,
By drawing nutrients from the guardian soil,
Soaking in the moist rainwater,
Bathing in the
