Jo Dil Me Hai Unhe Dil Me Hi Rehne Diya Jaaye To Zahoor Hai.
"Jo dil mein hain unhein dil mein hi rehne diya jaaye toh
Zahoor hai.
Dil se aage gaye toh fasaad hi hona hai.
Jo kehna hai, ishaaron mein kaho,
Zubaan khuli toh, malaal hi hona hai.
Dil mein hai woh aapke,
Toh dil mein hi rakhiyen na, yun baat aage badhaakar
Bawaal hi hona hai".
Ki jo likhu mai dastaan , toh tere naam ki wafaye likh betha
Ki tere husun ka jalwa, dunya ko dikha betha ,
Ki tere bolne ke adat, sunne walo ko suna betha
Jo Har cheez wabasta tuj se, dil me daba ke betha
Tere pasand ke gulaab ,kitaboon me chupa betha
Ki jo likhu mai dastaan, toh tere naam ki wafaye likh betha
A drab forty something,
mother of six snotty noses,
tie dyed shirt two sizes too small.
Nipples poking through the thin cloth.
Fuzzy pink slippers and yoga pants,
ass like the surface of the moon,
with mountains and craters well defined.
Dirt blond hair with three-inch black roots.
Lights the joint stuck between caked lips,
blows smoke into the space,
separating her from reality.
Out of breath she waddles to the bed.
When he tells of the goddess,
that took his immaturity,
there’s one thing he never mentions.
The twenty he left on the table.
BETTY-JO
I often think of Betty-Jo,
A girl I really admired.
Blue-eyed, blonde-haired Betty-Jo,
The girl I really desired.
I might have married Betty-Jo.
But, too shy, I never enquired.

Limpid sprinting waters of burbling brooks
Rows of flamboyant and swishing dark green pines
Embellished with glowing verdure on sidelines
Tender and flushed buds aglow with rich looks
The dense clouds have descended on the earth
Little fluffy white wisps of dreamy visions
Natural splendour with divine collisions
What a splendid mountain view, beyond worth!
Craggy hillocks covered with the snow quark
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever!"
Hark back locale to recall for whomever
A lovely photograph of nature park!

High alpine meadows are dusted with wildflowers,
And the faraway horizon is outlined with craggy mountain peaks,
Half-asleep lights blink through the sun-painted mist,
The sunrays dip at varying angles and intensities,
creating mixed moods and mysteries ~
It feels good to be up at dawn.
Deep blood red orange clouds ethereal dream float,
Satin wind carrier of luscious mint green hymnody’s deft transport,
Spring hues loiter in between gray peeled branches,
Chirpy echo squeak from red-wing blackbird a fragile threshold,
Golden stream gurgle under marsh reeds ~
Evanescent saline grain haze
Azure ocean tide aroused from still wave slumber,
Clamshell pearl strewn oyster oddments interspersed on pockmark sandstone beach,
Iridescent canopy of nature trail,
Awaits the first blush pilgrim who revels in lavish glimpses,
And sumptuous earworm madrigal ~
A tantalizing world so close
Enjoying the kaleidoscopic view,
As the sky changes to a brilliant hue,
Songbirds fly across the clouds to their home,
As the azure becomes a salmon dome,
Tangerine sun recedes slow from the scene,
Entering demurely is the night queen,
What a sight to behold is this sunset!
Nothing's more kaleidoscopic as yet!
At times, it sprays magenta-colored skies
exploding artistry that causes sighs
and launches blasts of pinks entwined with gold-
as sunsets fashion fireworks to behold.
There's something great about a day that's done;
Each sunset paves a path to morning's sun;
Kaleidoscopic-like- it paints a slate;
inspires to welcome in the new day's fate.

I am lost in an endless dream
My love and I are together
Dancing hand in hand, we're a team
Like the zephyr and a feather
Swirling and swaying to the beat
We are caught up in love's sweet trance
To the music, tapping our feet
Adrift in our fantasy dance
I do not want this dream to end
To wake up and find I’m alone
But dawn breaks in to apprehend
Into the real world, I’m thrown
I await night’s darkness to sleep
To dream of my love and our dance
I am lost in fantasy deep
Hope this will last longer perchance
I'm looking into his eyes, They are that of an ocean
Nd the moon in the sky, Is moving along our motion
It seems so enchanting
Pleasures dream of mine
Nd slowly clouds are drifting
Nd the blue moon looks divine
And the waves hit the shore, His smile seems so pure
As now mine starts to fade, When he walks out of the door.
I am left alone in my dreams
That belonged to me
The my eyes hit the beams
To bring reality to me
And i hope for other night, this dream to Prevail longer
As you are a lovely sight, and you only belong her
Every moment is fleeting fast
The present will soon become past
God has gifted this time to man
To live and use for a short span
Our clock slowly ticking away
Minutes and seconds not to stay
What's done for God is eternal
Infinite gift in life’s Journal
Time pulls together the curtains
No life force it thereby retains
We are driven into the night
We cease to search, inquire and fight
God has given us equal time
It's not an attribute of clime
Young minds don’t understand its worth
They end up trudging back and forth

Dear December
Soft snow swirls down as cold breeze blows
A snow white crown covers the earth.
Life is in hibernating throes
Let's stay inside near the warm hearth.
Icicles hang from eaves of roof.
Shiny snow sparkling as silver.
Ice flakes float on close- by river.
Heavy window curtains: Wind-proof.
Snow fall occurs in winter - rain
In slippery snow sledges slide.
Santa Claus glad on reindeer -ride.
Snow caps on sky -kissing mountain.
Winter entered on frosty path.
Cold climate in snowy effort.
Chilled weather claimed woolen comfort.
Our amour seeking little warmth.

Soft snow swirls down as cold breeze blows
A snow-white crown covers the earth
Life is in hibernating throes
Let’s stay inside near the warm hearth
Cold wind-flows keep us wide awake
External body-aches and pains
Pray Winter relief for Christ's sake
Keep mobile, keep warm, and keep sane
Pleasant recalls of days of cold
Work went on and buses would run
Days that would take total control
Still, the workload had to be done

4P.
Flowers with colours enchant me,
Buds budding and blooming,
Beauty surrounds,fills me with glee,
Nature’s way of grooming;
Workers of different colours
March in singing loudly!
All peaceful rainbow nations
Express joy openly!
Farmers with flowers celebrate
Spring in their farms and halls,
Evangelists, and pastors praise
God with more believers,
Looking around, I stand in awe
of God in creation,
I want to dance and shout hurrah!
Such is heart’s elation!

.... Honourable mention....
I am lost in an endless dream
My love and I are together
Dancing hand in hand, we're a team
Like the zephyr and a feather
Swirling and swaying to the beat
We are caught up in love's sweet trance
To the music, tapping our feet
Adrift in our fantasy dance
I do not want this dream to end
To wake up and find I’m alone
But dawn breaks in to apprehend
Into the real world, I’m thrown
I await night’s darkness to sleep
To dream of my love and our dance
I am lost in fantasy deep
Hope this will last longer perchance
Our love is like a fairy tale,
Unfolding in a dreamy haze,
We dance together, and we sail
Through starry nights and sunny days.
Our hearts beat like the rhythm's sound,
A never-ending, perfect tune,
And when I wake, I am spellbound,
Hoping for the night to come soon.
This dance is more than just a dream,
It's a love that will never fade,
For as long as our hearts still gleam,
Our endless dance will be remade.
We'll twirl and spin forevermore,
With joy and love, we'll never tire,
Our dance eternal to explore,
Together, in this dream we'll aspire.
“The Fountain of Living Waters flows,
Ready to quench our thirst,
Why do ye hew out broken cisterns?
Broken cisterns that burst;
Drink from the Fount and be satisfied,
It will become a well,
Water springing to eternal life
From your being will swell.”
Here’s my soul seeking for contentment
From the ultimate Source
I come to God Who suffices best
Blessing with downpour force.
Here’s my heart needing fulfillment gain
Christ alone grants so free
From divine wealth of grace, love and peace
Surpassing wants midst glee.
Here’s my spirit thanking the Saviour
For Living Waters* gain
Refreshing faith with triumphant glow
Along service-terrain.**
*John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Every moment is fleeting fast
The present will soon become past
God has gifted this time to man
To live and use for a short span
Our clock slowly ticking away
Minutes and seconds not to stay
What's done for God is eternal
Infinite gift in life's journal
Each page but a moment in time
As we draw nearer to sublime
for as the sea, time's waves are vast
quickly moving, eroding past
We can't save time, nor we it save
Our mighty ego we will waive
When our purpose we have fulfilled
Time will recede, at last be stilled.
