Ships that sail in the sea of life
That can help avoid sorrow and strife
Are there to help, when you are adrift
For they are, indeed, Fortune's gift
...

Birds fly
Soaring high
In the sky
Clouds part
...

Whatever be the state of your wealth:
These are what will affect your health -
To me they are the ‘Golden three'
That can either bind, or set us free
...

In your bid to find closure
Did you really get closer -
When you opened up your heart
And upset the apple cart..
...

My mother, alas, is now no more
She has surely entered Heaven's door
But what she left for us behind
Will always remain in my mind
...

If you are lucky
You get to be a granny
And get showered with a loving smile
That stretches over a distant mile..
...

If we care for the world
And a nice secure future
Let us learn a lesson
To balance nature with nurture
...

Like ships passing each other in the dark
Or a friendly face smiling at you in the park
Are each of you - the poets
Who energize my mental health..
...

The sun shines brightly in the sky
The cows, munching cud, lazily lie
Flies hover near them, until they swish their tails
But their attempts to drive them off, on the whole, fails.
...

Cascading water falls
Over sheer granite walls
The enfolding row of trees
Sway gently in the breeze
...

A fleeting glimpse
A shadow
And its gone -
Like the momentary
...

The crows
Came and complained to me
Of the shots being fired in the dark
Why oh why
...

An empowered woman is anything and everything she wants to be…she is:
Energetic
Majestic
Powerful
...

There is negativity in the air
Hatred is being sown
Caring is now rare
For division has been sown
...

The sun seems bobbing
Up and down
With childish glee on the waves
It is reluctant to say goodbye to all
...

Eyes blazing with desire
That transcends all peaks
A response from the beloved
It desperately seeks
...

When you leave something for later
It disappears from sight
So do it right now
Before day turns into night
...

If you Face the rainy season
With fewer sighs and grunts
It will be a cheerful dance
During the summer months
...

There are some days
When you do nothing but sigh
Remember, then, my friend
It's always good to cry..
...

In the midst of life there is death
And in the midst of death blooms another life..
A tiny seed has the capacity
To grow into a mighty oak
...
