Floating magical fairy upon a water lily,
Blessing all of the living beings deep within a pond,
Casting spells of rejuvenation with flickerings of her wand.
Strange Water Lily, your petals
delicate as a rainbow.
Seeing your wonder in this moment
eases dark memories,
yet there in clear water below
your black, feathered roots
appear strangely sinister.
Suzanne Delaney
Sounds of burning water lilies
Disorient the future contours,
A shivery breath fills
My cheery corner.
The blazing shadow of the sun crushes
The sphinx of my star,
And the promises dissolve
Before the strangled star.
I'll choke on another water lily
I swear I will
no more ultimatums
please
and with pleasures as deep as your eyes
grey
I've never felt such pain
deeper than blues, greens,
and grey
but I'll trade you a rose for a rose.
he choked
Water lily lake
in hot pink epoch of sun
Coral lilies bob
Fuchsia flight, dusk melodies
Salmon rose sends scents
Moonlight lake gleams, as
skies darken to amaranth
Pink daisy twilight
Gathering sweet raspberries
at red-violet day's end
She rises from the murky
Depths of the pond;
Unsullied and undiscouraged.
The frog hops on her bosom.
The fish steals a kiss from her cheek.
The rain throws droplets on her
The withered leaves fall on her.
Her quietude is so strong
The pond sits in silence.

Weeping willow creeping there
Amber light from melodic moon
Take a fuchsia flower for hair
Emerald embrace as love bloom
Romantic rose petals on blanket
Laid so beautifully
Indigo kiss touches silver soul passion strategically
Like lily floating in the lake
Your love does the same to me
Freshly liberated from an overgrown bushy trail,
I saw myself skimming waist-deep in Lavender,
Sentries to the rear, Hollyhocks, and Foxgloves,
Bougainvillea to the left and, to the right of me,
Chose a meadow of Prairie Smoke and Daisies,
Held at a water lily pond airs Rainbow butterfly.
O' white clouds
You are my words of numbed soul
Flying on the sky without crying
Writing on that blue print
thousands untold stories of earth
and making it black- black clouds
on the depth chest of dark blue
and shedding as the crystal pearl
on red-blue-white water lily
-November 20, 2018 Chattagram
asleep in a bloom
on the lake of pearl moonbeams
water lily dreams
green frog in black night
drifting in rock-a-bye dark
where stars make their mark
moonlight tiptoes soft
on cool petals of the pink
shadows indistinct
colors mourn for hours
at the lake of pearly dreams
observing black themes
She lives among the vibrant water lilies,
She lives in the clear, freshwater pond,
She loves to tend her flower bed of peace,
As sunbursts tend the gardens of beyond!
She revels in warm, rife saffron sunshine,
Relishing the finest of two exotic worlds,
Like canaries plunge, upon grapes to dine,
In gold summer shine or moonlight pearled!
In the shining of the stars,
I see you,
around their pulsating halos,
you're there,
running free as a fawn in new snow,
fast and light as a fairy who glides on a water lily,
I visit you when the sun goes away,
to the other side
of the living globe,
I join you for a slice of a second,
a joyous reunion of souls,
til you evaporate,
and merge once more
into your stardust gymnasium.
White water lily rooted deep
Profusive alba in flora peep;
Over the surface,upside down
Waterboatman-nature's clown.
Spiders spin their bubbled bell
Close to a ramshorn in crimson shell;
Stick insects,two inches long
Feed midst a tumultuous throng;
Mosquitoes,midges and water fleas
Bredd ' neath the shade of willow trees;
Rush,sedge in tall loose strife
In open ponds that team with life.

In open ponds that team with life.
There was a house.
There is a house.
There was a kite.
There is a kite.
There was a clock.
There is a clock.
When I
dig the earth
with a spade,
the earth falls into
the spade’s memoir.
The spade falls into
the earth’s memoir.
In the pond nearby,
a blue water-lily
does not fall
into anything.
It
calls out to the kingfishers,
saying,
Come,
have some fish and go.
I am the wind
The morning star
The silver moon
Shining so far
I am the mist
Upon the lake
And water lily
For you to take
I am the night
The secret dream
And scary shadows
That makes me scream
I am the day
With life to cope
Tears on my face
I wish to stop
I am the eagle
Up in the sky
I am just me
Quiet and shy
I am the waves
On stormy sea
I’m just a girl
I’m simple, me
WATER LILY
reflections.....
unfolding from
your silken-white hands
send mirrors of yellow peace
gently nourishing those who seek
healing upon arrival
at your
shores
Softly the night falls,
Shadowing vacant halls;
My recent morning glory,
Now is nature's history.
Petals bob in warm air;
Tweets of a love affair!
Racy brook, moon gleam,
A time has come to dream.
Night creatures very gay,
As night owl hoots away;
All humanity in a swoon-
A firefly night of June!
Toad hops on water lily,
Stars shine on tranquilly;
All the world speechless,
As if it died of happiness!
I begin unlearning
the script, in irreality,
find myself
my shadow in intermission
envelops the virtue
peak of sorrow, silence of space,
give your hand, within clarity
of reason, inner globe
of light, your kiss melts.
A water lily grows
in my palm, full of tears,
a terror strikes on thumb
like a dismembered limb
a veiled moon walks in night
to reach home.
The sun will find the road empty!
SATISH VERMA
Form:
Water-lily,
Floating on the ice-blue sea,
Away from your homeland.
Leaving thin, red, trails as you go.
Steering among the foreign, black-seal-dotted icebergs.
Electric-white lightening flashing,
And the chill of the Arctic winds,
Bombarding from all directions.
As you long for,
The lily-pad life,
Its comfort and kinship,
Now, but a past possession.
I, do, too.
Let us stiffen our lips,
Tighten our collars,
And dream.
I begin unlearning
the script, in irreality,
find myself
my shadow in intermission
envelops the virtue
peak of sorrow, silence of space,
give your hand, within clarity
of reason, inner globe
of light, your kiss melts.
A water lily grows
in my palm, full of tears,
a terror strikes on thumb
like a dismembered limb
a veiled moon walks in night
to reach home.
The sun will find the road empty !
SATISH VERMA
Form:
Arched gray bridge across the lily pond
With the all seeing eyes that are put upon
Standing silently everyday enjoying the beauty
Of the lilies as they bloom and aroma display
Weeping willow reflected from your waters
Green rippling as your waters are softly stirred
Host of white lilies float and dream
Cattails stand healthy and green
(Written after viewing Claude Monet's painting "Water-Lily Pond- Symphony in
Green")
To lose one's attention in the spell of a multi- hued water lily.
Ignoring caresses from ever patient Breeze
As memories of Winter's grasping clutch in early Spring
Return on this late Summer's day to tease
And yet the instant intense beauty of the flower
Reminds one of the coming painted Fall
With the Impressionistic pixel count of leaves
To savor and to wander in with ease
Ignoring still caresses from ever patient Breeze
Form:
Amazing white lily, beautiful as the sun rises above the horizon
Beauty like a delicate water lily is a passion deeply admired
Cherry lips and elegant high heel shoes with the same color
Dreams and charm of nature's surprise and endless miracle
Every little bud swell in bloom and spreading their sweet fragrances
