The chilly wintry mornings
The shaking souls,the icy feelings.
The hands and legs shivering
The snow falling and glittering.
The colorful flowers around
That spread in nature and surround.
There is no way to think beyond
God's creations, make us astound.
The dusky days,the long nights
The sun is dull,with low lights.
The snowfall makes the mountains white
The environment, though quiet brings delight.
The season has its own beauty
The nature does its full duty.
The atmosphere seems sooty
Yet foggy and fruity.
The frost around, the cold breeze
Make creatures numb and freeze.
The frozen seas,the serene bees
The cherries blossom, the green peas.
With temperatures, usually very low
The days are fast,the nights are slow
This is winter season's glow
That paints the nature white,with Snow...

We travel through the sand dunes,
And look for oases,
At nights we see the moon,
And in the day-time- Look for roses.
The weather so hot and cold,
With sand below glittering in the sun like Gold,
We feel the hot sunshine,
And for a drop of cool water-We pine!
Our camels look for a shelter,
And our skin sweat like being next to a heater,
Yet we carry hope and move on,
And that hope and our thirst to reach our goal makes all our pains gone.
Her Glittering eyes and red lips
Releases arrows on my hips
My buddy gave me some tips
& told, this will make your case fix
That arrow gave me the pressure
& I approached her with some treasure
I told this treasure will not last long as I
She chuckled & appreciated my try
Seems like last dream of mine
At the same time, I gave her a dine
Dine made her feel good
& She found me her Sonu Sood
That made my day happy
& I gifted her a puppy
Puppy made her heart melted
And that's the moment , I've not expected
Blessed the buddy with full distinction
Cause that made my heart to reach it's destination
Destination was set to her home
Then she introduced me nicely to her mom
Her mom found me a suitable boy
And revealed her family with full of joy.
The ocean's surface glitters,
Reflecting the eyes of all,
As smiling spectators gather,
To witness nature's call.
The waves crash against the shore,
In a mesmerizing dance,
As the sun's rays shine down,
Creating a sparkling trance.
The colors of the water,
Are ever-changing and bold,
As the deep blues turn to greens,
And the purples start to unfold.
The creatures of the deep
Are hidden from our view,
But their presence can be felt.
In the way the water subdue.
The ocean's surface glitters,
In a display of pure delight,
As we stand in awe and wonder,
At its magnificent sight.

Fireflies glowing as they pass in the night
Glittering and glimmering – softest starlight

Your glittering golden look is deceiving
looks like real gold fulcrum
it's attractive thing but it just glitters
Eyes sparkling and glittering
Like two little stars from the sky
Charmingly innocent
I give her a smile of
Affection, appreciation and admiration
But deeply in my heart
l feel a little bit sad
For children nowadays
They are born to live a tough life
Suffering from the risk of epidermics
And many more endurances and challenges
in the life ahead
A commotion in the heart
like a strong gust of wind!
A tingling sensation in the heart,
as if current flown through veins..
My dreams seems flying high,
Like Dry leaves and straws in the sky,
The playful mind sparrows run,
far away from their roosts!
Collect vapors from all over the world,
Like the many secrets of heart,
Thundering the frightened cloud
as if the heart was beating fast!
Running here n there in panic,
in search of peace!
Found soothing breeze on the way,
Like a saint messenger of peace!
The secret that was hidden for years
All turned into water.
Drops of rain sprinkled, like tears fell from the cheeks...
The chaos has calmed down now,
the anxiety of mind has gone away ...
The secrets that rained down like drops
the panic of the clouds went away...
This sky is empty of straws,
many "leaves" are scattered on the roads...
Wiping Glitterring sweat, sparrows utterred
this rain has brought some “coolness"though...
glittering ribbons
gorgeous rhinestones on the lake
genuine beauty
As you smiled your eyes held mine and glittered-
my heart flipped and love flickered

All around me
I notice glittering lights that seem so bright
in a dark world.
At night
I look up at the sky
And see glittering and twinkling stars.
They seem so far away
But give me a sense of joy
At night in the sky
I also see the moon
Glittering happily
And keeping me safe
During the day
I see the sun
Glittering so brightly it burns my eyes to look at
I also see glitter in the eyes
Of my fellow human beings that I pass by
On a daily basis
When my eyes glance at the ground
I see litter glittering like gold.
I want to scoop up all the litter that glitters
And throw the glittering litter in the garbage
As you can see glitter is all around me
Not just all around me
All around you as well
So lets all embrace glitter
And live a joyful life full of glitter
And not litter
If tomorrow never comes
may love at least confess its deeds
beneath a glittering star welcomed by night's deep exaltations
which offers a bond under Heaven's eternal sky
pledged and pressed into pulsating heartbeats from each kiss
Enslaved and tethered to this star of lovers
so we may fill our soul with soft throbbing tremors
of timeless tenderness, causing eyelids to close
in search of love's infinite realm of misty lush language
which stirs vibrant tongues into fervent flames
of fantasy fulfilled by glorious desires of beautiful boundaries
we crossed beneath this star's moment of breathlessness
when its bright flames crossed the dark sky
like a burning match, until it was gone
leaving our names etched on its fading tail
as a silent presence of perpetual purity
of our love confessed
11/10/20 contest There's a star with my name on it
Down below the sky ,just right above the lane;
I was walking across my street,
Saw those glittering eyes which was full of desire.
Were waiting that some one come and hire.
Their age was hardly twelve or thirteen,
Bare feet and with wean.
Those glittering eyes shows the gloomy picture of our country,
Are we wanted India to be the land of so many hungry?
Revolutions, rebellions and much more reforms!
Still,those people are not in condition to transform.
Those glittering eyes shows the gloomy picture of desire,
Again strikes in my mind with great ceasefire!
Hope for them!
This is the last anthem.
Resplendent in glittering tutus
A frolic of fairies fluttered by
And their shimmering glistening hues
Made the prettiest rainbow in the sky

meteors shower
underneath the fierce boulder
the fireflies takeoff
