Eternal Sunshine
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

Joy, dewdrops as if on lotus leaf
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

Dance of the Fairy
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

Breath of Rain
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

Silent Expressions
Misting the mountains, the roses
Softly dripping, sliding down petals
Gentling the feelings with emotive
Drizzling across forever, inviting
Even the light to whisper its caress
Kissing away all the darkness,
Erasing the melancholy, the doubt
With breathless whispers of dew
Drops sacrificing the parched moments
Alive with a rare and genuine peace,
Music like a mystery, satisfying
The deepest parts of me, the memory

Your Dewdrop
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.

Tiny 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

A Morning's Play
DATE: 27th June, 2022.
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

Dewdrop
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

A Lazy-Daisy Dewdrop Spell
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

Dewdrop Magic
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!

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

This World of Dew
THIS WORLD OF DEW
This world?
Moonlit dew
flicked from a crane's bill.

How long
can a dewdrop last?

Dewdrops beading grass-blades
die before dawn;
may an untimely wind not hasten their departure!

Dewdrop
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.
