Long Koels Poems

Ah summer when smiles nigh early on trees… 
Take season's kick-start, Karan, smiling first, 
Its bright yellow flowers when sway in breeze, 
And seem to brag: O watch my blossoms burst. 

Lest it be left...

Orange cosmos flowers inside a circle
along with the canna indica flowers;
A big smile of welcome at the front entrance.                                 ...

                  at crimson twilight…from a temple on a serene seaside

Somewhere between the Poseidon and Azure
Is his double shaded blue that always allures;
Between the lush and chrome, green hues
That glow in layers of velvet like necklace;
With rufous brown tail feathers and long neck
With strong twig...

I crave a piece of land,
Oh! Parasakthi!
I crave a piece of land...

Amidst the piece of land,
build me a palace grand
with sundecks and picturesque pillars;
everything in pristine colors.
And near the well,
the long pinnate leaves 
and the...

Oh, my dear honorable poet!
Words recess when I write about you
 For, they start loving you

You were a sincere lover,
   when you wrote about love;
You were a lovable mother,
    when...

When the season of splendor sprinkles 
the scent of sprightliness,
when the koels and kingfishers sing hymns of hope 
and merrily waltz their wings of chartreuse dreams, and
when from her day dream, my muse emerges in...

Abysmal depth - what I am looking for
Beauty lies within – in your heart d’or
Come dear gently wearing your cutest smile
Days will pass, but we would say, “Stay awhile…”
Earth would spray her rain drenched smell...

A melodious symphonic journey by the rose-bush….
No more waiting…air is crisp and delightful again,
Mystical breeze waltzing, whistling romantic stories,
Pristine clouds floating like sailboats in the ocean,
Grasses gleefully swaying showcasing their exuberant colours,

Blackish, brownish, and greyish clouds on zenith call,
The white lambs like the ones below, unheeding, crawl;
The immaculate white egrets in elation,
Mock the grey herons, in calm Zen meditation;
Kow-kow of cuckoos and the coo-ee of koels,
Sound...

“wherefrom came the exalted divine thought,
that inspirations along with it brought?”

Presence in innocence, merrily sails
Playfully garnering truth behind veils
Subconscious melding with the conscious mind
The superconscious is so far behind
Treading gently upon the holy grail

Vibrations imbibed...

Around the lake on midsummer days,
A garden blooms in vivid display,
Red, yellow, white, pink, and gold,
Daisies, Bougainvillea, Dahlia, bold.

Palash trees with fiery hues,
Mirror pink and white lotus views,
Daisies and jasmine garland the shore,
While dandelions and...

In an island amidst the seamless seas, 
lost in the warmth of a dream-like enchanting moment, 
I sense a smooth placid stillness and repose. 
As the golden ball ascends, 
light bids adieu to the dark...

The Peepal timidly peeped
From amid those tiny cracked bricks
Seeking the warm sunlight
It spread its arms wide

The rain water tenderly seeped
Nurturing this sapling that bravely sticks
Its head out into the foreign light
Against the crumbling wall’s side

Raising tunes of the koels in the morning
Interfering voices of the crows in between
Alarming sound of the hens and cocks 
Tik tiks of woodpeckers that knock
Mild whistle of munias unplanned
Loud drums of babblers in band
Mimicry...

I see my beauty beautified with lust
Came she near without any fear for first
With rosy lips and shiny eyes of mist
Astonished I as she gave hugging twist.

With the moon spooning the way that day we

soft
dew drops 
quivering 
on lotus leaves
lithe jui flowers sprawled
white orange-hued buds

clouds glide tangerine sky
koels croon symphony 
mehndi bushes
faint fragrant  
birds soar
free

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...
