Come out with me, my love.
The sun is shining bright today.
Come let’s enjoy the calm
Despite this mighty winter’s day.
For look ominous dark clouds gather
On the periphery of the horizon.
But it will not rain today, it's calm.
Only wispy white clouds can be seen rising.
Sure the trees are bare and icicles
Hang lonely here and there on darkish branches.
Still there is no cold wind to speak of.
Leafless offshoots will be still, not one dances.
Come out with me, my love.
The sun is shining bright today.
Come let’s enjoy the calm
Despite this mighty winter’s day.
Slowly follow the uneven path
Until a meandering rill we detect.
It leads towards a homely tavern
Two cups of hot black coffee we won't reject.
Night will soon creep upon our cold world
Back home we must soon repair as the dark clouds
Silently gather above our skies,
Back to our home, away from maddening crowds.
Come out with me, my love.
The sun is shining no more today.
Let’s enjoy the calm at home
Despite this mighty winter’s day.
DARK
Dark rule- Dark scenes
Hitler. Thriller.
Dark cell. Dark stay
in jail. in hell.
Evening Dark night.
Darkens. No light.
Dark play. Darkish
Betray. Malice.
Dark dream : Dark show:
Night mare. Shadow.
Dark bar, Dark thought
Choco. Ego.
Dark cloud. Dark Sun ,-
roars loud. Eclipse.
Dark days : More ! Dark
Shattered. Matter.
Dark death- Dark space
last breath. Void.

"Silence Faded with a Soft Embrace"
Seated on the bench of a silent shore
Two loving souls lately at daggers drawn
Seemed to be two worlds apart to the core,
Their amorous whispers of lore were gone
Instead, grumpy words flew from each other
Aimed to tear their unthreading ties further.
The root of their rebellious row rested
On the pernicious worms of jealousy
With the lady`s spirit devastated
With clouds on her lover`s fidelity
And lack of shines of mutual confidence
Darkening day dreams of their existence.
All sweats to clear away the clouds were vain,
It seemed they were getting further apart
With the two lovers` heart pining with pain
On the verge from each other to depart,
It seemed the dice was now cast for ever
And they were destined their ties to sever.
It seemed their exchange of sweet love letters
The sparkle of scents shared with each other
Their passionate moments spent together
The soft music in their ears were over
Giving way to woeful waves of distress
And mournful streams of sorrow and sadness;
A dreary silence invaded the shore
Thick layers of darkish clouds veiled the sky,
In a while it started to pour and pour
Hardly beyond a near cry one could eye,
Man offered his coat to lady with grace
The silence faded with a soft embrace.
We live in a world of diverse voices
With each one open to make their choices,
We share one unique planet, blue and round,
Yet shines of lasting peace are seldom found.
From tiny sparks of some wild woeful words
Sprouts seeds of spiny vines and fighting herds
That fomented by some greedy wishes
Turn to wars that burn and sprinkle ashes.
Yet a ray of hope gleams, a fragile light,
To dispel darkish shadows of the night
As peace rests not outside, but within us
And just waits to be ignited with trust.
If with grace, we ignite this inner light,
Scan the depth of ourselves, with much delight,
A serene, shining stream will greet our eyes,
A stream that reflects divine peace from high.
Peace should not be the far dream of a few
But an ideal, a gem, ever true,
The passionate pursuit of every soul
A goal that ever needs to remain whole.
It is an end that is worth attaining
As its pursuit renders life worth living
In wild winters as in soft summer shine,
At present as across the sands of time.
A straight sense of sincere serenity
Leading to dwell and grow in harmony
And prosper in every respect he can
Is what pursuit of peace confers to man.
Peace is like a still silent sparkling lake
Where folks can in liberty carve their fate,
Where man, fauna and flora can flourish
Where the charm of sweet tunes one can cherish.
Let us all pursue peace with dignity
To build a future world of harmony,
That for humanity will ever gleam
And hope will prevail amidst vibrant dreams.
"The Darkened Sky Stole my Tears"
**************************************************************
The Darkened Sky Stole my Tears
With my heart shattered in tiny fragments
Dark clouds within me clashed with each other
Inducing tears from my eyes like torrents
As I reminisced the torn love letters
Flung with force away in the open air
Laying my fractured heart open and bare;
Hot tears rolled down my cheeks like a river
Coursing to the distant dreadful deep sea
Driving deep down my ribs a cold shiver
Eliciting from me a pungent plea
With my head pining with persistent pains
And my mind shrivelling with stress and strains;
In midst of the raging inner tempest
Memories of sweet days spent together
Haunted the films of my mind with regrets,
Memories of scents shared with each other
Memories of melodious music
Swapped with each other sounded acidic.
Battling with the inner wild woeful waves
I tried to reach the crest of the current
With all my strength the sturdy storm to brave,
But I was blown by the rushing torrent
With tears still dripping deep down from my eyes
With my heart still shaking with a sad sigh.
Alas, darkish clouds gathered in the sky,
Auguring awful thunders on the way
Heralding still greater storms in the high,
The darkened sky stole my tears right away
As I had to bolster doors and windows
To avert still more unwanted shadows.
Rama pleaded with the sea to give a way,
Adamant he too hard was when to melt,
Wiser was made, reason failing to pay,
Ere long a challenging duel was when dealt.
They began thence building a bridge on sea
To deal with demons, impervious to plea,
Apes lumbered when with huge rocks, a squirrel
Too tiny though, played a role— if a trickle,
She soon got busy, but boastful the least,
Running errands, ah mighty tasks amidst!
And waited not, figured out what to do—
What noble task, Rama’s spouse to rescue!
Wet, she wallowed in the coastal dry sand,
To sea again, leaping from stone to stone,
Unloading grains returning, more to fend,
She made all else to feel their funny bone.
Far too busy, perhaps way above all,
What with fun, funny bone, work worship was,
Sacred comes every task, naught is too small,
It's value, not volume, to noble cause.
And Rama watchful of it all amidst,
Said, wiping tears of joy welling in eyes,
My tiny soldier, never yet the least,
Happy I sure feel this to realize:
No more I doubt meeting my beloved spouse,
Defeat mighty demons for noble cause,
So saying he lifted the tiny wonder,
Monkey brigade as raised a loudest thunder.
He placed this lifter of spirit in palm,
Soldiers as sang paeans of praise, sweet psalm,
He smoothened her skin, his fingers the furs,
Which, darkish ere, turned to light stripes of hers.
Squirrels come with stripes ever since that olden day—
A tale of fair intent, no grudging tithe in tray!

“When we tread along the journey of life
Let`s roll up our sleeves and strive to survive.”-By Author
****************************************************************
Treading Along the Journey of life
When we tread along the journey of life
Never let darkish despair grip our mind
Ravage the sweet seamless fruits of our strife
Endanger the glow of our prior shine,
Rather roll our sleeves and strive to survive
Ready to burn midnight candles for time.
In life’s rich, cascading waterfalls , they bathe!
Sun glistening on their tanned glorious skin.
If a rainshower,later, suddenly, their picnic ends,
They simply, smile, and rush to find a cozy inn!
They do not seek darkish thoughts.morose.
Neither write poetry, wherein life is all a joke.
Principled, people, in fine, feathered.prose.
Respectful,never profane ..maidens and blokes.
Unafraid women and men of earthly realities,
So bless them all as they create with eternal vigor.
Humble, no pretense to be a second Maimondedes.
Penning ever of gallantry and dauntless vigor!
Soiled sinners lecturing on the art of being pristine.
Innocents retreat to black pits and darkish seams.
God tucked away the red lantern and ivory ring.
Very few are rescued from the darkness within.
The good sheep are mixing gospel and fear.
Charlatans and sharks are circling in with shears.
Talking heads are in it for ratings and attention.
Town criers' race-baiting for a vote once again.
Millions gorging on fish and blue-collar greens.
Very few are sowing; they're just takers of the seed.
The horizon is deeply rouged and roughened.
Nobody cares enough to balm it up or buff it.
Bloated children are crying out once again.
Cupboard and pantry are running very thin.
The lullaby and nursery rhymes are dulled.
So, one day they decided just to snuff them.
Black crows preening atop a thorny crown.
The curtain of humanity came crashing down.
Somewhere deep in the soul of a dead-end night.
Heaven was nailed to a neon, no vacancy sign.
Saint Peter packed it in without even saying goodbye.
BLUE FAIRY in BLUE HOLE
Large marine vertical cavern
or sink-hole as we learn
open to ocean-surface:
Great marvel no less,
nearly, roughly circular, in particular
appearing in darkish blue, amazing hue!
Spectacular Blue Hole in oceanic periphery.
High transparency of deep water stands,
entwined with white carbonate sand,
catching intense blue part of sun spectrum
sending dark blue reflection at random.
Blue Hole: Astounding charm.
Natural formation not a mystery.
Sinking into sapphire blue of your eyes
Great marvel no less
High transparency of depth in emotive urge
Astounding charm:
Blue lilac glaze reflecting natural amour: My Blue Fairy.
