Unrolling aroma around,
blooms the marvel of peru;
Yellow and dark peach are their hues
and the red hearts inside never fail to
amuse.
Kopsias the pink beauties,
Ixoras the colourful cuties,
Pin wheels the white queens
Every one happily waves and grins
When the summer sun is about to set
when blowing breeze wipes out sweats,
swinging on the contorted branches, koels sing
melodious harmony to the garden they bring
Rising crescent moon,
roosting birds' tunes,
redolent night flowers,
are tuneful treat to eyes, nose and ears
These are my evening bliss,
which I never want to miss

What's in a color
A flower is a flower
Even the flowers grin in white
will shine bright during night
And those shimmer in red
adorn summer garden bed
Do I need to say about little cuties in yellow
that elegantly entice bees and entire fellows
Those violent wild verbenas in violet
engender the butterflies rules violate
Pretty Ixoras in red, orange and pink
extracted the hues from rainbow's ink
And those don the dress in blue
will make your problems blew
So what's in a color
A flower is always a flower

In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
watching the spirited squirrels,
busy in savouring pomegranate flowers
In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
seeing the peppy parrots,
tasting the hard guava fruits
In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
watching the red vented bulbuls,
happily collecting the sun berries.
Amongst the enchanting scent of ixoras
and the mesmerizing songs of robins,
I stand there in the midst of my garden,
with heart full of ecstasy.

African Love
********************************
Amongst flowers
There are roses
Et white ixoras
Amidst stars
There is the sun
Of waters,
There is the ocean
To rivers,
There is the Nile
To Africa
is mad dictators
And constitutionally imposed hypocrites
For all African laws
There are exemptions
Amid stones,
There are diamonds;
Blood diamonds
To fighting wars
There are insidious conspiracies
Of getting old
Is growing cold
And letting go
For African oxymorons
Is both paradoxes and confused morons
Of true love is friendship set to music,
Bathing blindfolded in the dark seas
But of my African love is
sets of musing ...

Nature's divine creation is flora
Although there are numerous breeds
My favorite flowering plant is Ixora
The most beautiful flower indeed
Since Ixora has attractive colors,
It is also called as Jungle flame
I am magnetized to the pleasant odor
and would love to proclaim
Usually the flowers are solitary
but Ixoras are inflorescent.
Fragrances they spread,ajar the nectary,
an ancient antidepressant
The enthralling colors welcome bees
butterflies,insects and humming bird
I enjoy the serenic beauty,without fees
just by sowing pint-sized Ixora seeds
