do not betray
him.

Sneak up on their prey
very silent and deadly
don't get in their way.

Although, being cautious during explorations,
     forests generally host intrinsic jeopardy.
Killer leopards mutilate not only people, quickly.
Readily, saving them until voracity wants: Xena; Yaks; Zebras.

I would have been more fearful if I had not been studying leopards.
I knew not to run, but I stopped whistling and walked confidently.
I felt lucky he was giving me the “yawn” eye.
And prayed it was not the “I’m going to take my time eating you” eye....

What face that does not sweat?
     What person are you with such joy?
What life that carries no pain?

You live in the heavens and on earth,
You speak like violins and leopards.

What existence have you possessed?
     What has made you so beloved?
What potion do you bemuse us with?...

snails paint poems
on pallets of leaves
slimy threads of all
misdeeds

seas shatter shores
dumping sharp shells
each one has their
own story to
tell

leopards lie low
in sceptical prose
they pray for prey
feasting on
gigantic 
gargantuan
realms of

What a research Rasool
My darling yaar cool
Love you for being scientific
And perfectly prolific
Proved you are a legend
Of course from my end
Proud of you for gripping reply
To the video we comply
Awesomely identified the flaw
That goes viral with no law
May you have all success boon
To build a reserve for leopards soon
Rasool hain bada bebak sahee
Yaar hain mera mazaak nahee..!!...

Alligators bleed a passing style.
Shot birds freeze in a look of disbelief.
Leopards fall in wraps and cooling guts.
Snap and clack of traps grind mental teeth
In living bone. Flash and zing of wire
Scald ruts in moving flesh.
Whoosh of nets and sudden crack of guns
Hold down the gelatin that was an eye--
And heaps of trinket feathers and trunkless hides
Are lain on altars for a current god....

Shamrah is a satisfied Victorian maiden
daughter of a prince, was never a wife 
her ebony puma chases potential suitors away

she sits among her gorgeous rose gardens 
wearing her embroidered gold tapestry dress
guarded by two docile leopards

men are usually intimidated by Shamrah
They tiptoe away quietly
not wanting to disturb her menagerie
However, if they disturb the big cats they run screaming....

My name is BSK, 
My appearance is bright and GAY.
My shirt color is GREY 
and I live in the Bengali's BAY.
In the month of MAY, 
there was a DAY.
Where I started walking on a sandy WAY
surprisingly I found a region filled with CLAY
Where owls wish to HAY
and leopards search in spite of PREY.
I was scared & went to Jesus did some PRAY 
and the place transformed into an island pearls and a friend to PLAY....

Perched upon his Mast

A  Lions Roar perfused his Sails

Bearing down his paw on the waters current 

 Ferociously solid is this Leopards Hull

Traveling Our Seven Seas

Letting the Dragon route the course 

Tossed to and fro by the waves

Carried about by every wind of doctrine 

Only to be pierced with a sword......

Spared..

Healed....


 Perception of the Lord...has been..... Lost At Sea........

The Savannah will mourn them;

			Forever altered,

			As the last roar is sound 

			
			The jungle will miss them

			No stripes to kiss then,

			No alluring growl


			The trees will be blind

			Lack leopards eyes;

			Spots faded and gone


			Road of destruction 

			We must fight this destiny

			Change the path we travel


			No time to waste

			This course can be erased
		
			It doesn’t have to end with extinction...

oh, ever-young face in dazzling smiles
ah, golden mother of potent nigers
thine lads are swimming in new rivers
yea, mother of the dark amazons
thine maidens are dancing by the forests
there the lions lie down calm & toothless
beside the indulgence of forceful goats
the leopards are full-fury of pensive looks
their snail-moves & failing temperaments
ah, golden mother of potent nigers
sweep, not, mother - niger’s not at ease?...

Behold the cosmos's bounty
Where elements combine
Into leopards and ladybugs
Dolphins and sea fans
The hot spring's white mists
The glistening sweat of man
See the infinite display
Black holes and stellar lights
Gifts of such generosity
This unfolding diversity
Unnatural the shadowed 
History of man--the claims 
Of one path, of one way
 Amidst such an array
Of wisdom and worlds
Therein lies our failure 
To comprehend...

Waves slowly age the unseen clock of time

Leopards grow spots, wrinkles appear, lovers fade from sight

Earth reclaims the energy of life

What have I for toil and troubles?
What sophic wisdom gained or shared?
Did I seek God's Wisdom or pleasures of man?

Temptation can be overcome only by His Will

Flowers that bloom in Spring show me the way
of rebirth

When blooms fade, I will be remembered only
by the seeds I sow

Only
By the seeds I sow...

Leopard had a secret, he did not dare tell
His power animal was not an easy sell
Feathers and fur do not often mix
He was in a pickle, a jam, a little fix.

His power animal did not have fur.
Or polka dots, and it did not purr.
Pheasant was the power animal he had.
Something dainty, tiny, not big or bad.

Lion had a fierce monster named Ike.
Panther had a bull dog named Spike.
Bear had a bobcat named Devil Mistake.
Leopard’s pheasant was named quiet Jake....

I keep a magical box
It’s safely tucked away

In this little magical box
we’ve got it all

The moon and the sun that can dance
Leopards and dogs ,ducks and birds that can talk

In this little magical world

A bear here, a horse there
and cats elsewhere
Magical oranges and chubby rabbits
Dancing underneath the stars
Laughing till the sun rises

oooh, my secret box world
nothing around here is quiet

who will descover it
who will unlock my imaginations...
