Best Sunlit Poems

People watching, on a park bench under a ripe sun, 
I sat, seemingly wasting time. My heart smiled the second hour when I saw John,
my father, in the clouds. He smiled back with arms that reached
from the past to pick the sun from the sky...

The slow progress of a wandering mind.
With quiet ambition, too swift to humble.
I should not fall, will not break,
I fear that I will never give up my quest.

It's strange now that I search,
Never knowing what for, or where to look.
I feel the years drawing in.
Impatient...

in the mellow morn
a revelry of roses
pervasive heat, grapes

glossy trees tremble
day's marching into the gold
butterfly frenzy

the day star twinkles
entering doors and windows
housewarming party

a straw hat parade
in many styles and colors
boulevard boogie...

Cows roamed sunlit green pastures hugging the river banks
Where villagers of meager means cultivated their tiny farms
Living happily amid bare necessities trusting destiny's hand.

That place, I left behind, taking the only dirt-road out of town
Long before brazen street-lights replaced kerosene lamps
And invading industrial hands pilfered...

at the heart of all
the middle of space and time
I walk blooming paths...

"The Name and Blue Sky on a Sunlit Friday Morning"




“There is something missing,” he announced.
“Oh,” She said, “in what way?”
“Well, “Love”? I wonder where it is, in all of this?”

A breeze moved hauntingly through the French Windows
lifting the curtains like unbuttoning a girl’s loose blouse
then...

"Sunlit"

The sunlight 
burnt their skin

they felt alive
at least

they began
to live again

bare legs bare feet 
cool water,
 
the sensual 
diving in

lovers wrapped
up in the ocean 

of another world
in themselves

alone
but not alone

Sunlit

Sunlit room, take it away and bring me back to one place
Where I see it all so clear
Because with you, the world doesn't matter

The blue skies, with gray clouds coming in
Where I stood, the rain pouring down
I'm in love with this moment 

Please never leave

O Butterfly! colour collage
From butter to fly
You coined your name
Paired wings
Your wings though fixed
Adapt to wind
It flaps to fly
Into thin sky
Pollen folk
Stigma scented
Fairy wings
O Butterfly!
From butter to fly
You curved your name
Flowering bouquet
Rainbows mix

With me…with me…and go ahead of me – put your doubts and worries to bed!
Borrow happiness from me instead! You don’t have to return it back –
If it’s something you lack…come on and open...

Age 5 . 
Threw sticks at the sunlit patched sphere of a darkening blue.
Can I break the hanging ballon?

Instant  raw atmosphere
  Scattering moment. 
    On the black skyline.
      Whitness beam , Now unevenly line spilled...

sunlit ripples dance
playfully mirrored
exponential joy

Sunlit meadows. A marriage.


A sunlit meadow, pastures green, lovers join, a state serene
They are each other, the two are one
Their life together has just begun
Of times to come, their futures filled
On hopes and dreams on which to build.


The forms, just outlines, now are blurred
Their spirits...
