There is an island
In the Pacific ocean
Surrounded by blues
In various motions

The blue of the water
Reflects from the sky
Turquoise and dark
Either makes me sigh

With mountains of lush green
In sloping canvas
Varieties aplenty
Trees and grasses

Species so different
Grace this land
Where they have thrived for years
As it has never been...

It answered to my thirst from the top

When I watered a coconut palm root

My hands stroked his head's top

He kicked me in force with his foot!...

Looking out, everything but the mountains
seems affected by wind today
It drives the sea green water that divides 
our little island from the other bay
Coconut palm leaves, wildly sway 
color and movement, vibrant, alive

Hedges shimmer, verdant with flowers
Tropical warmth between blowing showers
And, under cloud shadows, at...

Place: Malvan beach, konkan, Maharashtra, India
By: Sashi Prabhu, Date: 3rd march 2012.

As I   trudge along with fancy and conceit,
Tender soles and bare feet.

Sandy saunter through virgin sands,
Pathways lead up to blue waters of Malvan beach lands.

A groove of coconut palm stands swaying tall,
Shady...

Nature's tit- bits!



Gentle droplets of  rain
on the colocasia leaves
slide like glossy silver grain
wish these pearls my palm receives
and I weave them into a chain!

A black-pepper vine 
climbs round the coconut palm
saying 'am yours and you mine
wish this obsession to my heart embalm!
and me in...

Rural eyes fall upon my white guest with golden hairs.	
She’s put on jeans, not a sari, and an orange T-shirt, not a blouse.
Brown children chase her in wonder along our country road.
I’m her host- cum- guide just for a day. 
My Indian English and her...

The sea was calm on that fateful day
The crew keen and eager to get on their way
The cargo was loaded, all men were on board
The captain at the helm was standing tall

They raised the anchor with a mighty cry
And bade farewell with a heartfelt sigh
Leaving...

Inspired by Kah Mee Lee

 Love's wonder at once questioned,
 a soul with pen in hand;
 script dripping of loveliness,
 avowed her mind as grand;
 a dreamy twelfth sign princess,
 who lacks a wedding band;
 seeks a lifetime partner,
 to entwine in her own...

A dawning twilight's me. Oh, joy. Oh, what a joy. This day. Oh, what a day. A breath bestills my eyes and I, e'er slight, a deeper breath that reopened them and myself to a blessed pleasing. All the while, the barking, the barking, it...

Sulphurous moments, shadowed
beneath natures natural defences 
Tenderly swaying, the coconut palm 
leaves transmute devising my fan blades
Refrigerant elegance appreciated greatly 
chilled iridescent cocktails assuage  
My acousma heightens as the waves lash 
such a lovely sound, to woolgather
To think about your next write, possibly 
let...

Completely unrestrained, sun drenched and yummy,
Tasting of the tropics, flavors so tender,
Falling from the coconut tree to greet my tummy,
Great amounts of fiber found in each bite….

Scrumptious like the mango, cashew and cherry
And, just like these – they aren’t nuts at all,
Instead, they’re a drupe,...

What is a coconut heart made of?
O’ the distal taste of love for me
Hardening of my left side no longer bleeds
The heart of coconut the coconut palm 
So sticks in my breathe
Close to the apex of the stem 
Terminal bud so in love folded
 Leaves...

Black 
sandy
full-of-life
magnificent
beaches with laid back coconut palm trees

Welcoming both surfs and surfers back in
for a relaxed
breathtaking
sunset
view

walks
neath a
lunar rise
as a starred sky
pauses for fallen stars on a black beach.

I dream of spending my hibernation
on a coconut palm in the Caribbean
where instead of sleeping
morning, noon and night
I’ll be too busy
chomping down nutty peanut cakes
and sipping daiquiris of acorns and coconuts!...
