When you walk with me oh god,
everything seems so beautiful,
the blazing sun in shadowless sky,
the thundering storm and deafening wind
...

soaking in the sunlight
under the trellis of greenery,
shadows dancing on the face,
warmth lulling to a slumber,
...

Cropped lands replaced with concrete slabs
stomping on the chance of life,
cries over the dried sky and cracked earth
died in the drone of city life.
...

On the boughs of a mango tree
amidst delicate spring leaves,
unfurls soft scents of sweet sourness,
tiny blossoms falling,
...

My eyes linger
over the pouty lips
that breaks into dimpled smiles,
over the lotus like eyes
...

Day and night comes to me alike
I lay in this eternal time
filling my heart with memories
touching me through time and distance
...

...

on a Saturday morning
casuals to school
on a street
a vendor with a straw basket
...

Night invaded the blue sky
the simmering moon floats across
sweet night air tickles my senses
night queen tantalizes awakening desires
...

Pink flower shining gold in the morning light
swaying in the mild breezy air,
remember your time has come by
and enjoy the passing time,
...

Emptiness echoes in my soul
like inside the shell on a beach shore,
stalking in the broken land of dried grass
with mirage in my eyes, I run
...
