Rare are bucks loud that bang
What all likes lets, such a luck’s rare,
Plugs all panic, such a pluck’s rare,
Rare are bucks that give loudest bang,
Cool with lake’s muck, such a duck’s rare.

I treat love as a rare art, a bold banner fluttering in the wind
I treat love as a rare art, a bold banner fluttering in the wind,
Only those who have fallen off the map of the world, the barefoot kings of the sky, are worthy,
Weavers of warm words, who weave webs of dreams and pure hopes,
Where girls come to immerse themselves in the boundless spring of poetry.
Then they

Beautifully Unplanned
When an ordinary day becomes the unexpected,
The hours turn into a rush, and get connected.
I turned my head to find who stood there,
Our eyes met—something rare
I didn’t give anything that hinted at chaos,
Didn’t give a little smile, just raised my eyebrows.
Ignoring someone, shaking my head—
Not now, I’m done being bled.
But you’re the one giving me

Rare Bird
'It takes one to know one', so they do state,
but that won't take you far,
as we're never told exactly who these 'they' are.
'It's not what you know, it's who you know',
so the saying goes,
but the devil is in the details,
and I say, 'It's what you know about whom you know,'
which really goes to show,
whomsoever holds

Rare Bird
In hindsight I can note a master stroke
A revelation from somebody out there
My soul’s salvation could have been a joke
A sad man’s joke, that anyone can share
That’s why it looks so truthful, this old tale
As if our lives were planned on reasonable grounds
But anyway, you see that luck prevails
And luck’s a rare bird, it never

WITH HER RARE FLYING WINGS
WITH HER RARE FLYING WINGS
Desiring to soar,
She waved her sage rainbow wings;
Peacocking the yard:-
She faked a hopscotching flight,
Strutting her well-winged buttocks.

Rare Is A Star's Luster
Into a luscious and darkened wood
heading home,I gaze above a lea,
Suddenly I'm not where I should be
as clouds enthrall , my senses allured!
A thousand stars blazing everywhere,
over a mantle of softest pink.
Yet each of them differs... in its blink;
Flaunting its own luster in the air.
One twinkle reflects of dreams quite free;
another flicks umbra, sad 'though

Beautiful, Rare, Valuable Gemstones
Black opal is the rarest and most valuable opal for distinctive vibrant

I can feel my heart now
trying my best
to compartmentalize
these feelings
that are quite novel
in company of or separated from
an individual
who unknowingly energetically
activated something within me
unshakable but sweet

RARE
I'm listening
As she was singing
A song so healing
Taking away all traumas
She's a healer and a redeemer.
Her voice
So lovely
A rare tune
Without auto tuning
She gives
Absolute melodies.
Rhythm like never
So rare
Very harmonizing
Giving me
Butterflies in my Stomach.

CRAZY WORLD
So many Societal flaws
He's so flawless
Always doing what's right
Maintaining
His ancestral lineage.
So many weaknesses
He's so strong
Always standing firm
Striving
To liberate all from their inexperience.
So many opportunities
He was given none
But, never hated
Neither did he switched
He's one of a kind
Very rare and irreplaceable.

Staunch is our Lord, friend anywhere,
True friend, like jewel, precious and rare,
Everlasting blessings guides,
Accept true love at our sides,
Devoted to leading to divine,
Founded great faith, yours and mine,
Acknowledge each human race,
Steady path, His immortal face,
Trust God's bridge to mortal grace.
