Premium Member Going Much Too Fast

It seems that time is going much too fast;
a year goes by in just a flash- a crime!
Oh, how I wish that each of them could last.

This month of August soon becomes the past;
like yesterday, flew last year's Summertime.
It seems that time is going much too fast.

The Autumn chill will shortly be broadcast-
replacing Summer days of pleasant clime.
Oh, how I wish that each of them could last.

Before I know it, the cold months will cast
those icy storms and mounds of snow; meantime,
it seems that time is going much too fast.

Though Holidays warm up the Winter blast-
those days fly quick, like those of Christmastime!
Oh, how I wish that each of them could last.

When this December ends, one year has passed!
But, then comes hope- the days of new Springtime!
It seems that time is going much too fast.
Oh, how I wish that each of them could last.

Premium Member Arrow Hunter Meets Lake Faerie

He was talked into hunting, but always reluctant.
He had an eye for beauty, and he loved animals.
His father trained him, and he was forced to do it.
He never enjoyed it, despising killing animals.

She was a lake faerie, delicate and pretty.
She had an empathetic heart and adored her fishes.
She liked the land animals too. She was soft-hearted.
She could not understand hunters; was fearful of them.

They met in the spring when he dipped to get a drink.
She had popped up for air, at the same time.
His arrows startled her; she told him of her fear of hunters.
He buried them, and never looked back.

They are a happy couple, non-meat-eaters, living on berries.
Fruits, nuts, vegetables also make up their diet.
He is living closer to his truth than he ever before had.
No longer fearful of hunters, she still does not seek them out.

Their families did not know if this union would work but it has.
They have been together for ten years, frolicking in the forest.
The animals trust them and have forgiven him his hunting ways.
All is pleasant; they are joyful and happy most of their days.

Winter's Silent Beauty

Alone I sit
staring at the cold grey sky
All around
winter's handiwork
so silent
so beautiful 
fills the land

Drifting lazily upwards
pillars of smoke
rise ghost-like 
from the chimneys
On the ground below
the freshly fallen snow 
so quiet, so fragile
instils deep peace 
within my soul

Standing alone in the distance
a church steeple 
points majestically towards the sky
in silent testimony
of its God

Nothing stirs -
the sparrows have gone to bed
this cold winter's evening
dreaming pleasant dreams 
of tomorrow's spring
when new life will take form
in Nature's world
or perhaps they dream 
of yesterday's summer
when they flitted happily
from tree to tree
dancing in the sunshine
so happy to be alive 
and free

Yet, dream on 
my little friends
for even while you dream
cold winter must reign 
a little while longer
still blessing the earth 
with her deep silent beauty
--- as now the snow begins to fall
once more

Premium Member The Pale Moon

The pale moon emerged languidly from dark gloomy clouds,
                    melancholy hovering listlessly around me,
                 My spirit was low, my heart felt barren empty,
                 in the solitude of dusk, I was looking for thee.

                    life did not feel gleefully blissful, my solo
               journey did not sense like a pleasant symphony
              forlorn heart cried in pain… with ardent longing for you,
            bleak feelings ached with yearning for your warm company.

          The moon has emerged gently, it shouldn't be much longer
            you will return…embrace with your soothing presence,
             softly hold my hand, Darling…clouds have disappeared,
                        kaleidoscopic sky radiates iridescence.

Premium Member NATURE OF WINTER COMES-

days dormant brighter 
twilight sun paths warms thee earth
winter’s call cool-cold

rains turning to snow showers

with lots of rain, ice or snow
why? cause- It’s winter

warmly on the earth during- 
winter seasons here

Wings

she is scrubbing the very skin off my back 
I think to myself as I brace my hands
against the sides of the pot belly tub

my mother always had such strong firm hands
I steady myself from the force of her strokes
she is in a hurry for there is still much to be done
still rocking back and forth… timed as in a rhythm 
wondering if I will have skin left on my bones
after this is over 
quick commands and quicker response no time
for nonsense
Gosh! my skin is red... and sore...

then… she rinse me off and cradles me
in a towel... 
smiling without a smile… a thinking face but
pleasant I can’t take my eyes of her
she carries me into the bedroom where she plops
me down on the bed and I giggle with glee... my sister is
already there.… I can relax now… the hard part is over

Here comes the rub-down, not an inch is missed... powder
comes next and bright white undies and lacy slip and
ruffled socks… we were always dressed to match
people always mistook us for twins

she holds my face in her two hands and plants a kiss on my
forehead.… a kiss of approval and satisfaction
"stay on the bed," she says... "do not get dirty before we
have to go".....

We are going to visit grandmother and our favorite
grandfather number one…
one of the best memories of mother when she was 
still mother

 if we remember them with loving fondness...
they will get wings....

Nearing My End - I Never Felt Better

Ahhhh….Here’s a wound to mend
Ahhhh….Please, put my mind at ease
Ahhhh….You don’t see me, nearing my end…
Ahhhh….Nearing my end…(you’re left without a clue)

Pre-chorus #2: You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you 
make me feel like nothin’…make me feel like someone…somethin’ – your words 
pierced me like a pin on the floor)
I’m not haunted by your callous night…don’t pick a fight (with me…we were 
innocent like a newborn infant)

I won’t shed a tear for you
You’re too late…you can’t change what has happened. I’m damaged by your lie. 
I gradually swelter.
I won’t be sick with the love flu
You’re my disease…you killed me with your cruel, hateful, twisted lullaby – I’ve 
never felt…so…better.

Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions

Pre-chorus: I thought your grass was green…I’m hopeless… (Oh funny, I 
thought you were a good person…I was there for you through thick and thin – 
you do not love me anymore) 
I’m through with you...you…tonight…I long for God’s light (to shed on me…we 
were in content & we were pleasant)

Chorus: Ahhhh….Stop being a tease…

Ahhhh….Being a tease…(your heart broke due to being blue)

Remembering Your Lost Love Again

Many many years from now on a busy morning,
suddenly for a moment Mallika my name in your mind,
it will force you to stop and look at the sky
and from your heart will come out a deep sigh,
memories of love,
suddenly so fresh like a 'dewed' morning rose
remembering your lost love again
absentmindedly you will touch my last gift with moist eyes,
"love thy name is eternity"
your fingers will follow this line on that bone china vase,
I know time will go slow though tears will flow faster
and I will be nowhere
near you "before the next teardrop falls",
only my memories closer,nearer to you,
happy,joyful,cheerful,pleasant days
when the moon rose in the sky just for us,
will these glimpses of happy days wipe tears from your eyes?
If not,if you are still running on empty
just listen to my words floating in the air,
"love thy name is eternity".

Premium Member Cat Lady


                         Cat Lady, going crazy,
                       yet not lazy, but too busy
                      in her garden, where blooms daisy
                                  and her nineteen cats run and play.
                       When she wanders in near-by park,
                       in sunny morning or evening dark,
                       zealous dogs start to bark,
                              as battalion of cats walk in array.

                   Two cats stay in kitchen
                    with their lovely kittens.
                   In bedroom lie nine or ten.
                            At dining hall, rests take rest.
                  Brown, black, yellow, white,
                  pale, dull, glossy, bright,
                  fat, skinny, arrogant, polite,
                             each easily adjusts at best.

                   She buys daily ten liters of milk
                   She takes half liter, rest, the pets drink.
                   Cheerful cats lick and happily wink
                               to Lady: Proud owner of nineteen cats.
                   Liked and loved by neighbor,
                  owing to her pleasant behavior, 
                  acting also as a great savior.
                            Locality has got free from rowdy rats.

Premium Member To the Lighting Bug Shines My Love- -

to the Lighting bug- -SHINES MY LOVE



My lighting bug, you ignite me to sight;
The way you're blinking bright and soar;
Parading my mind day in through the night;
Always dreaming about the quiet lours;

Let me compare you to a pleasant fly?
You are more active, aghast and playful;
Fast drought dries the cool nights of July;
And moon pitch has the broadcast prayful;

Blinking your shiny torso ever glows;
Brightly flashing white and yellow grows;


Now I must sway with a steadfast heart,
Remember my last words whilst we're apart.
