Jasmine flowers in the field, in full bloom,
Fragrant and vibrant in the scorching heat,
Casting a spell, there is no trace of gloom.
...
Meeting of two hearts and souls
to emerge as one,
compliment not contradict,
care for, not being callous.
...
Time meant to express my gratitude,
You have braved all storms with fortitude!
From you, I have learnt forbearance,
Imbibed the spirit of tolerance.
...
Walking by the stream
without purpose
brought back memories of the good old days.
Throwing pebbles

Behold the waves dancing at night
The moon over them, what a sight!

“This is your last chance
With you lies the choice, ”
the teacher whispered.
In my heart, I whimpered.

He sat there on the settee,
A vacant look on his gaunt face,
...
In the arm chair, she sits, weary and withered
This has been her place for years now.
Saying her prayers, reading a book,
while watching serials on television.
...
Prayer is the answer to a troubled heart,
Challenges meant to be overcome and solved,
Faith in God is the best way to make a start.
...
In contemplation, she sat
recalling the events in her life.
Adorned with silk saris,
bedecked in gold and diamonds,

Fragrance In Summer
(TERZANELLE)
Jasmine flowers in the field, in full bloom,
Fragrant and vibrant in the scorching heat,
Casting a spell, there is no trace of gloom.
Across Nature's lap is a green-white sheet,
An added charm to her beautiful face,
Fragrant and vibrant in the scorching heat.
Scented flowers all around-Divine Grace!
Magical effect-One stays there bewitched.
An added charm to her beautiful face.
Stunning Beauty compels to remain fixed,
Miles and miles of tender buds and blossom,
Magical effect-One stays there bewitched!
Gaping with mouth wide open-Wow! Awesome!
Heart yearns to drink in the beauty always,
Miles and miles of tender buds and blossom.
Heaps and heaps of exquisite white flowers,
Can sit for hours under the bowers.
Dancing like a peacock with open plume,
Casting a spell, there is no trace of gloom.
