When Death resolutely comes
At any time with his deadly summons
Tarry not like a galley slave
...
Far from the din of madding crowd,
And away from the bustle of city streets,
I withdrew into a solitary spot,
To turn my thoughts into dazzling verse.
...
LIFE
Bitter, sweet
Inviting, challenging, defeating
A tight rope walk
...
BIRTH n’ DEATH
If waking is a mini birth
And sleeping, a minor death
...
LIFE
Precious and priceless
But gradually weakens and withers
...
For centuries I waited to be born
May be at the ripe time my seed was sown
But in a hostile soil, I smelt treason
It baffled my ken of simple reason
...
Over the west the Sun dies, oozing blood,
The hillside glows in a ruddy blaze,
Pink and crimson fade slowly around,
And a pallid shade taints the twilight haze.
