The submerged fire, still burning inside,
A flame that’s unspoken, but cannot hide.
Though time has passed, her light still shines bright,
In the corners of your heart, she’s still your guiding light.
The dew on her skin,
A moment so brief,
But her warmth still resides
Like the softest belief.
Her beauty bloomed like a flower in the sun,
A love that carried you, like waves you surfed on.
Even as seasons change, her petals remain,
A symbol of devotion that will never wane.
You think of your Cat with a soft, quiet grace,
As if she’s still here, filling the space.
Her love, a thread that will never break,
A timeless connection, no distance can shake.
Her presence a comfort, always there,
A love so luminous, nothing could compare.
For eternity, she will carry you right,
A mark on your soul, forever white.
You’ll never forget about her, wherever you may go,
Nevertheless, there’s no need for sorrow.
She will guide you through darkness and pain.
You’re always together and your love will always remain.
She is eternal, a bright and steady flame,
Forever and always, you will whisper her name.

Joy’s like dewdrops on lotus leaf
If you know not life’s subtle brief.
It’s dawn if I open eyes,
If not, a darkling night,
The wise whose sun would not rise,
There reigns enduring blight
All along, life of buts and if,
Joy’s like dewdrops on lotus leaf.
Life’s echo spreads no far
Like haply chirping birds,
As footsteps on sands are,
As on deathbed last words,
In rivers as if flotsam adrift,
Joy’s like dewdrops on lotus leaf.
Here today or on mountain cliff,
Joy’s mirage, dews on lotus leaf.

The light between the leaves,
is where she likes to play.
Dancing on the dewdrops
as the bubble gives way.
Slurping up her body
until she's nestled inside.
Resting on the giant leaf,
water all she spies.
Colors are abound,
red and purple and blue.
Teasing with the senses,
as dewdrops often do.
She feels the motion coming
as the drip begins to slide,
slowly down the middle,
leaf on either side.
Sailing off the tip,
gliding in the air,
remembering the wings
that were always there.
Busting through the dewdrop,
slimy on her skin,
she watches as it shatters,
becoming whole again.
Until a million more
form bubbles of their own,
each like the one that split,
not like the one before.

Like a heavy dew, the morning brings dripping leaves,
Sighing softly and leaning into the whisper of dawn,
Lingering quietly in the echoes of sunlight falling gently,
Singing a liquid kiss over the boughs and branches,
Reflecting the intimacy of melancholy risking its breath
Comforting hasty winds with the remains of last night’s shadows

The air of twilight hour resonates
in the silence of impending end.
I hear it compose the requiem
for my final breath I am holding.
When at dawn the hymn will stop,
you’ll see I shine on your dewdrop.

A Tiny Droplet
A Tiny droplet round and full
formed by the morning dew.
I will resist the cosmic pull
instead stay strong in my capsule,
for I am only very new
with precious moments few.
I will not fall upon the ground
release my grip and leave.
Instead, I’ll stay and hang around
cling tightly too you and surround,
refuse to go I shall not cleave
nor will I dare to weave.
However, know upon this day
my time is nigh my friend.
Resistance weak, I must away
with you I can no longer stay,
I feel now I am near the end
goodbye: as I descend.
Another dew drop will now form
and cling to you as I.
But as the air begins to warm
destruction too will be its norm,
for nature’s force cannot deny
it too will say goodbye.

POEM TITLE: A Morning’s Play
In a misty morning simmer,
where droplets run along
blades of grasses in limber
to a game of ‘who grows bigger’
until a splatter rings a song,
a brief play date gone wrong.
Pearls on taro leaves form ripples,
upon the water's face,
rolling off like dimes and nickels,
as they bask in their clear flippers,
overlooking the country gnome,
“pitter-patter” they roam.
One eases it’s way out in orbs,
waving goodbye to friends,
translucent; it fully absorbs
the warm air as the body soars
along with the winds of July,
so long, fellow ally.
With the sun now driving it’s flares,
weeping flower heads rise,
nature awakes and dries it’s tears,
a new day presents new affairs,
another chance of a surprise,
like play dates of the skies.

Topaz nose-ring on floral-brides,
Detached like a wise sage;
Touching and letting go, abides,
Toward gentle flow of breeze slides;
Though feels like bird in a gold cage,
Within, no tinge of rage…!
Dropped from up like tentative guest,
Toward heaven staring;
Yearning with eternal unrest,
Searching and not finding its nest;
Season's wrath modestly bearing,
Exists never erring…!
What does it tells the human race?
Is it to leave the earth?
Is it to trust on divine grace?
And to fix our gaze on his face...?
Is it to earnestly unearth,
The mystical rebirth...?
Whatsoever it might have meant,
When sun rushed so fast paced;
And rays wrapped with their golden tent,
The dewdrop felt its life got spent;
Heart in heavenly hands it placed,
Grand-finale it faced…!

A lazy-daisy dewdrop spell,
Reflective in a blade -
Grass-green and sunny eyes do dwell.
Beyond the dawn, a quick farewell.
The subtleness - not much to wade.
Sun burns and splash, does fade.
The cochlea, a sunrise plume.
A dove’s cooing in ear.
Soft petals do dry off and bloom,
Emerge and release sweet perfume.
The magic born, at disappear
of dewiness, I hear.
Was manna made of morning dew?
It's honey-sweet, a treat.
The angel bakery, their crew -
Heaven’s bread fell to earth debut.
The blessings land - each day tastes great.
What is it - it’s not wheat.
To breathe, inhale, get handsy with…
To touch and smell the morn’.
A lovely mist that lands, no myth.
Dayspring gatherers go forthwith.
Spring’s endless generations born -
Dew’s loveliness adorn.

Heavenly dewdrops every night
Caught by petal blossom
For our eyes a beautiful sight
Moments of joy it does ignite
Summer's waning no more delight
Truth be told 'twas awesome!

Dawn reflecting
Wakening glistening
Diamonds scattered cross the field
Meadow carpet radiance aglitter
Gems of nature deck the morning
Fleeting fading passing
Transient sparkle

A dewdrop is a dainty thing
Upon a tender blade
I like its crystal purilence
Against the earth floor's jade
It's such a proper finish touch
To nature's awesome myriad
I wonder if it's happenstance
This pleasant cool-clear period?
I think it not by chance occurred
To glaze the slender leaf
Was placed by nature's gentle hand
To lighten her motif.
