Short Availed Poems

Alone with telescope
Astronomy's my rock.
Asteroids and planets
Availed on starry nites.
All moonlit sky above
Always awe inspiring.
Am sometimes overcome.

Jubilant Heart

A breeze carries your scent to me
My heart wells up with anticipation

Your voice permeates my surroundings
A sound perfect to my ears

You are a thousand miles from me
Distance is an illusion as I constantly feel your presence

Our souls are connected
Our yearnings are satisfied

A jubilant heart is availed to me because of you, my love...

A woman now, resplendent dwells instead.
Taking charge of things anon,
she quickly whisks the room.
Baking yeast bread;
akimbo, she smiles….. “Clan Gunn” !...

A coward preying on her mind
Not strong enough to get outside
They quickly dismissed, the little girl
Telling tales of a scary world
They only knew, of what they saw
A handsome man, dark and tall...

Diego Maradona.
Born for sports,
What a stamina!!!
Dedication in vocation.
By his presence,
Opposition ensure of defeat,
Availed of opportunities,
Those were given,
A sailor of team.
Engraved his name,
In history, by deeds.
Will be alive in, our heart.
In a small poem,
Difficult to explain,
His contribution.
And i am in state of,
"Proud words from a weak stomach".
My attempt of, 
Tribute.
To the legend of football,
Whose score was called,
"The hand of god"....
