underwater taj mahal
how many have seen you?
Your iridescent swirling waves the colors of rocks
browns, pinks, blues, you have such depth
I feel complete, observing nature’s utmost beauty...

I have a desire to fly,
Without wings how?
I swing in search of wings,
Here you are!
Come wings,come in wings,
We will fly up to Taj Mahal,
To visit the graves of Mumthaj and Sajahan,
I as a bird,
You bring wings!...

He can't get over it
But what
I need 
To do
Is get over it
I need to do the work

When he came home from
School and explained to 
Me
Why the Taj Mahal 
Was built
I cried

Build a ladder 
To 
The
Stars

Mob tries to set
ablaze a Taj Mahal
   I was flying a kite.

          *

    Tears swell in
the eyes of moon. Paper 
    lamp has come for a sail.

           *

    The long night-
I was ready to handover my
    family silver to moon.

What genius can thus inspire,
the mind will never know

It takes more than a thought conceived,
to go where visions go

Angkor Wat or Taj Mahal, 
we only stand in awe

And wish to go from whence they came
—the artists Shangri La 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2020)...

Mahal kita.
That means I love you.
If I knew it in every language,
I would tell you all of them everyday.
Although it sounds so corney.
It is all so very true.
I hope that you believe me.
With a heart as pure as mine,
this love is not a sham.
I hope our love grows stronger.
Mahal na mahal kita....

I've seen the Grand Canyon, Cancun, Taj Mahal
World Plaza (both phases), Broadway curtain call
I watched when Hank Aaron sent that little ball
'cross opposite fence the Babe's record to fall.
I've bathed in Bridal Falls
Niagara'd 'til day called....
But I've never seen a lighthouse
'cept in pictures....

In earnest, I have tarried,
longing to be wrapped,
in the embrace of your warmth,
that your gracious loins may whisper
to my thoughts the meaning of affection,

And when my time is done,
in the Taj Mahal of your being,
I will be embalmed for an eternity,
While my heart you will find,
for you preserved,
in fountains of wine....

Eyes met as they walked the market place
Mumtaz and Prince Jahan hearts did race
betrothed for five years before his bride
fourteen children before she died

Prince Jahan it was true love at first sight
distraught at her demise, a shrine of ivory white
built in her honour "Crown of Palaces: now stands
the Taj Mahal is famous throughout the lands

The story of love

Tash Mahal built by a prince
for a wife, he loved despite having many spouses.
A beautiful palace admired for its architecture
and reduced to mere splendour.
On a narrow road going uphill, I came across
a clumsily built cement block
made by a boy who loved Maria Emilia
 Thorny bushes overgrew his work.
Yet, it was here I sat down and cried for lost love....

We all have to start somewhere.
Brick by brick, tooth and nail, you'll get there. 
You might not be a Saul, you might be that apple
So go on and drink from your motivational fountains
You might not build the Taj Mahal or paint the Sistine Chapel, 
but you'll move the molehills you've imagined are mountains.

----------
This is what happens when I don't write poetry for a while......

lying 
is not always 
a lie
‘though the word remains a lie.

ah, believe 
me, 
my dear!

i love you! yo ti amo!
je t’aime! s’agapo!
ya tivya luvlyou! yah habibe!
ay-ayaten ka! mahal kita! 

in whatever tongue 
you hear me say, it’s all the same 
and I would not take away 
that smile, from you.

you are the half 
that lights me in this life, the 
diamond shines, forever—

without lies!...

Last week I looked up
And witnessed with my very own
God given eyes
The impossible

Last week I looked up
And experienced heaven tearing apart

Last week I looked up
And saw God's own creations
Hurtling down from their throne
In an annual commemoration.

You have not been forgotten.
Even the stars themselves 
Know what they have lost.

                                               Sa aking mahal na bituin....

If one goes on compressing everything
In one’s own self,
How one is going to prosper?
This selfishness could be self-killing.

Make the others laugh,
Laugh and be happy.
Extend your happiness
Make everyone happy.

Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal,
One of the seven wonders,
To Make Mumtaz, his wife
And mankind happy to look at.

Your great smile looks like a shine of white marble in the ground Name by the magic memories of Taj Mahal  

I am not a king nope a heart like them to proof my love to you but how I miss you in a time of my life is not can be Judge by any one 

My dear when I need the  hands of you I gets nothing by the silence without a word but 
My emotions get die infront of our distance with out a word 

With love all

I have never seen ocean and I have never seen mountain 
But I have seen you and want to see you again and again

I have never seen forest and I have never seen desert
But I have seen you and really want to win your tender heart

I have never seen pyramid or ShahJahan’s Taj Mahal
But I have seen you and want to adore you once and for all

I have never seen Great Wall or Babylon’s hanging garden
But I have seen you and want to carry your all the burden...

Of the wonders of the world that have been
The Taj Mahal is the best I've seen
With it's milky marble white
It radiates a glow on a full moon night

Shahjahan built The Taj for his lady love
Once she'd died and gone to the heavens above
In hope of reminding him (it might)
Of her face glowing on a full moon night

With it's chambers full of breeze
One can say he was head-over-heels
In love with his wife, Mumtaz
For whom he built the wondrous Taj...

Anoucheka 

Cool, Moody, Dreamy, Sexy

Daughter of Nalini and Rajesh

Lover of God, Life and Love

Who feels sad at pollution, uneasy in parties and at home in libraries

Who gives friendship, warmth and gossips

Who fears the ocean, public speaking and her boss

Who would like to see the pyramids, the lions and the Taj Mahal

Who lives in a small island, too small a dot to be listed on the world map
