Short Colouring Poems

The sun colouring
The wings of the two huge clouds
the eagle looks on

Almost just as similarly with tears,
In need of a certain something
Which can bear all of these smears
Of dark inks, as I am colouring....

Who'd like to see “coloring books” reappear
The past time that occupied our formative years
Spreading unending joy
For all girls and boys
Stopped us from kicking old ladies in the rear...

Lingering these thoughts of beautiful you
When daisies danced; your love was new..
A picture held this gaze my eyes; and kiss
Your heart was my delight; rare her voice
Soft its hues; colouring life, in beauty true....

neither enhancing nor colouring
pristine awareness, as it pulsates
i dwell in the intimate here and now
renewing rapture that never abates

knowing all doings are already done
as impulsed in the ethereal domain
ripples now playing out in linear time
are but dream forms leaving no stain...

Wild Colouring Of Rose
It creeps up on the wall
Intent on colonizing all

The intent being seen by all
Roses blooming love for all
Love like the creepers on all

Spell their intent clearly for all
Wild bushes but still they are
Thorns to the flesh oh.my wall

#bubles_intime
a crowd of roses

A voice rings 
and seals the room-
colouring purpose,
the mind of the author, becoming 
a cry of pain and laughter, vibrato,
trembling in the ghost of genius,
reverberation, 
the shadow of desire
being the madness of man, unpaid
but selfless in this gift of self,
He is his voice, and only that,
intangible, love for sake
of love....

Magical Sunset

As the day ends to rest
The sunset does its best
Setting on fire the lively waves
Colouring orange the nature he saves
its pure ancient glorious perfection.

The great ocean will receive
The burning sun who's going to leave.
Slowly comes the night
Devouring that magic light:
we are still suspended in a great delight....

Blowing wind,
throwing pains that cursed me.
Flowering daffodils,
colouring woes that hurt me.

To be colourful,
with no more gloom.
To be cheerful,
 everywhere around the room.

Time will heal the wound,
cause The Almighty knows best.
He lights up the moon,
He even takes care all the rest.

Including you.

I often climb the cathedral spire
like a pilgrimage 
I can see the whole of Coventry
In each corner I see a reflection of you and me

“Send them to Coventry”! I often hear them say
Please send them, send them right away!
We tend to tar a place with the same brush
Painting our perceptions 
colouring in your grass greener blush

I love my city...

Life is sweet,
humming to
a pretty tune
I’ve always known somehow

The notes I hear
the instruments,
the sounds they make
have not yet been invented here

Life is sweet,
colouring
my days with 
harmony within me

Frequencies
of green and blue, 
pink and yellow
cannot describe how I feel

Pinks and yellows
cannot describe
how happy I feel...

I dub a little bit of colour here
A little bit of sparkle there
Splashing out the fear
Brushing on the care
Colouring over the tears
Painting better years
Drawing blue skies clear
Blotting out the scares
Till a masterpiece appears
A painting so rare
My palette of hope is here
Bring your troubles and cares
We will paint away your drear
With the paint of prayer...

i just 
want to be
a sweet talking 
teddy bear
inside golden
honey drops
in dripping feelings
upon the softest
of emotions

buttering you up
so we can
sandwich together
sweetly tickling
the taste buds
sparkling roses
blooming beautiful
crowned queen
of the deep ocean

softly rainbow colouring
one's soul
as waves 
unfold out
whispering in winds 
a tune 
played upon 
the deepest organ...

Colour hides in a whitely glow
every colour we’ve ever known 
Reflective rays a spectrum show

Coloured days, names and numbers
See the world through coloured wonders. 
Think in colour, don’t you?
Your name clearly blue

Synaesthesia your my life
Colouring my every thought
Spectrum white and every sort 
Close my eyes and you are there
Years of coloured thoughts to share....

Her purpose in life is love.
Making people happy,
Bringing great pleasure,
Colouring the world
With pleasing shows,
Her voluptuous shape,
Poses displays,
Exciting minds,
Igniting and kindling,
Explosive creative power,
Impressively 
A winner among flowers 
Catching the eye of suitors.
Drawing into her blooms
Tulip thirsts for attention
Absorbing energies of passion.

my family tree -
nurtured, supportive Banyan
roots stay firm beneath

Strong branches stretch out,
colouring a billion leaves -
                and those billion lives.


United we stand,
not by blood…   but loyalty.
Vasudev Kutumb.


'Vasudev Kutumb', in Sanskrit, means 'The world is our family'.

The budding appearance
On the cylindering lily
The fast forming interference
Heating the night chilly

The bird eyed the sparks
Yielding flowering tickles
Clouds ballooned in the parks
The desire designing the sickles

As the colouring heightened
The river curved and charged
The wind gusted and tightened
The poems clouded and enlarged

The sonnet emailed me
Oranging with glee

Summer laid its fully taste
over flowers, over trees,
and a laden, heavy sky,
lingers on in mysteries.

Time has come for drunken clouds,
plunging in a turquoise sky,
driven by the autumn´s breath,
through the golden wheat and rye,
braiding early autumn´s wreath. 

Trees are colouring their leaves,
summer birds will cease to sing,
and an early autumn breeze,
receives 
messages of tales,
carried on a fuzzy wing....

Your hands are huge, your feet are …. Your hands are huge…

Write it, wash it,
Build it, break it, 
Think it, forget it, 
Dive in, swim… swim hard against the everything.

Then…

Float and look up,
Breathe and look up,
Kneel and look up,
Sink and just look, look out at the world.

Then… 

Lose what you learnt,
Leave where you lay,
Love who you like,
Rise and make a life from turmoil…

All the while…

… colouring your chaos....

April invites fairies
to wave their magic wand,
colouring the landscape
with flowers of all shapes;
our heart’s in awe agape!

April invites fairies,
disguised as lotus buds
to blossom in our hearts,
suffusing us with love,
as our ego departs!

April invites fairies,
to infuse in soul joy,
seeds that in time flower,
manifesting within, 
a divine bliss shower!

Bless The Blade

Kneeling down in prayer
In my own temple on hill top
Thanking the gods
For all their blessings
My vast kingdom richly laid
Two handsome youths
Brought up in royalty
To rule over the ordinary mortals

But, a searing pain in my back
I collapsed in a bloody pool
Colouring the alabaster floor
I turned up to eye the coward
The lad that rocked in my arms smiled
I raised my hand to bless the blade

Cognisant of what’s absent
signals we are not present, 
for it is but negation
of manifest creation.

Thus mindfulness of absence,
say of scent of bliss incense,
relies upon memory,
scripting another story.

Awareness must be sans thought,
free from forms ego begot,
with no anticipation
colouring meditation.

In such vibrant being-ness,
we’re one with the that oneness,
in a mode embrace-release,
flowing with nonchalant ease.
