cuckoos seem lament
the fast flow of the monsoon
crows carefully calm

Up the Sky, Venus shines
                           Cuckoos sing heartily

Cuckoos and quails
In this pastoral tale,
Nature comes alive
To a symphony of five
Titled movements..so well contrived

cuckoos chirp sweet with nightingales
scent of cosmos in sun clad vales
coral, turquiose,  deep purples...
nascent senses waft in circles
ceaseless gleam, the Cosmos entails....

Cuckoo has an undeserved reputation
Actually there should be a celebration
They understand it is best
To lay their eggs in another’s nest
Foster bird raises their young to fruition...

raising cuckoos 

are you like me and seek the truth ~ but accept a lie if it bears fruit 

our monster chick is not so cute ~ yet what in this world is absolute


the (chick) is on the right

We see furtive looks
Mired in gluey fears
Their minds hypnotised
In ego bubbles
Imaginary

Help is at hand
In glowing heart
Each breath we take 
Offers fresh start

What to say
What to do
But to pray

Become
Empty

Now

BIRD HOUSE

One more mom’s day has passed from quantum view.
So many months leap by ~ so many memories accrue.
Ring-a-round the roses grow.
Time moves fast and slow.
I’m cognizant of cuckoos left in queue.

spring… cuckoos make
listen… silence… cuckoos gone
position vacant
~
the voice of summer
a roar of wonder… hark life
new generations
~
hark a whispered swish
a breeze denuding trees
autumn confetti
~
winter respite
hibernating mammals
silent are the nights...

It's three in the morning - the grave silence breaks my soul,
the glass on the coffee table is empty,
obliviously I water my soul, it will bloom too.

Some birds are chirping in my chest - they sound like cuckoos.
Old stories bequeath the saying that when they cry,
they shed tears that heal all diseases....

fascinating…

buds, blooms, butterflies
banquets of cuckoos, swallows
cute color cocktails

captivating…

Sun so punctual
earth jollily lighted up
universe tranquil 

enchanting…

music, songs, dances
presence of Persephone…?
perfect ambiance

spring hands over her bleach gowns to summer
environment grows pale green ---
cosmos under rebirth

earth tries color revolutions and fails
jaundice yellow leaf lips crack ---
no chill thrill in grass blades

Nestlings of sparrows feel hot in nestles  
cuckoos from crow nests escape ---
cocoon covers hang free

After a lazy and dull 
Season of winter, 
coming of the Spring 
Causes a pleasant change 
in the nature. 

Which prepares green stage, 
on which, colorful flowers smile, 
and cuckoos sing. 
It converts the earth 
into a theatre. 

Keen cool wind becomes a humble host. 
It receives the boon of the season. 
To fill all the 
Joyful feelings 
In each creature....

Time has stopped like a broken clock, 
My eyes are glued to your beauty; 
It will be a matter of shock
If the Time starts doing its duty.

If Time moves, there will be no Spring, 
Leaves and flowers will fall from trees; 
The cuckoos will forget to sing, 
Cold wind will replace gentle breeze; 

And your beauty will fade like dusk.
Let Time take rest and do no task....

After waking up by the melodious song of cuckoos, 
Wishing to feel the beauty and sing;
Oh ! what joyance raining upon me in this spring. 
The trees have been dressed with green 
In this spring, ring out spleen. 
Bid a good bye to the winter,
Just enjoy the spring before the coming summer. 
Spring has come with splendid happiness ;
Alas! at it's end there will be sadness....

Cotton clouds,
blue skies,
chasing the butterflies
wildflowers
and grassy bed
the celestial sphere overhead
leaning trees,
green foliage,
sweet wild berries
cuckoos singing
and crickets answering
murmuring cool stream
lemongrass sprouting
on both banks
unwatched dreams,
crowding in the eyes
dusty feet 
and soiled pants
but ecstatic memories
and beautiful discoveries....

Lovers gather, yelling "carpe diem"
Lovers kiss, living with totem
Lovers fall, counting walls
Lovers forget, crushing falls.

Love birds chirping as one
Under a tree skipping one by one
Above the bassinet where cuckoos nests
Below the cradle are loving breasts.

Rush to me and sail with me
On a gondola in Venice we flee
Gaping romanticism in idealism
Dying dualism without ostracism....

It's perfectly true, there's a blue kangaroo,
    Where an emu once flew, upside-down.
    There's even a lion, that's made of pig iron,
    While the polar bears fur's eiderdown.
    With a tiny sardine, of green plasticine,
    It's where cuckoos spring out of swiss clocks.
    Whatever it seems, they're not idle dreams,
    They're all playthings, in my little toy box.

Peeping to the sky:
Beating wings of twilight
Leading home, the birds 
Horizon, engulf the ember Sun.
Invitation of the dying day
Give rise to a tranquil bay.
Putting me in the battle
Of: need and happiness. 

Every viewpoint 
From the hot iron pan
Searching those mountains
Of a distant homeland
Cool breeze along with
Perfumes of spring woods
Memories of myrtles
Holding back to hear:
Cooing, Cuckoos....
