COLOURS OF NATURE

Myriad flowers bloom,
Lifting us out of our gloom;
...

I find History very difficult and useless;
Memorising dates is an absolute mess.
Rulers fought the wars,
And left us gaping at the stars.
...

In the middle of life and death
There she lay motionless,
Staring into the dark sky
Wishing for death to come
...

The poor lady on the street,
O, poor, poor lady …
She begs for food and money,
She collects little, useful things
...

Fascinated by the rain,
Falling on high terrain;
I sit by my window sill,
For hours at still.
...

She sat alone
Under the lone pine tree,
With none to share a word
Alone in the world.
...

A smile from the clouds
Mean rain – to make it beautiful;
A glance from the Sun
Brings warmth to it.
...

MY DREAM


I had a beautiful dream,
...

On the golden desert sand
When rays of the Sun fell,
Each grain of sand
Luminescent as gold.
...

AN ODE TO KITTU

He gambolled by the gate
Closely watching me,
...

A parrot was found on
Our football field,
They said, her wing
Was badly injured.
...

A cool breeze stole towards the cat
As she slept soundly in the pale moonlight,
She jumped awake and sat still
An eerie silence filled the air.
...

When by my mother’s side,
I sat mourning at her death;
He came and sat alongside,
He, who was with me, till her last breath.
...

She came into this world,
Without a companion,
What she didn’t know
Was, she would remain so, lifelong.
...

When the voice o’er the lonely hills
Fades into a mere whisper,
A fire inside me starts to burn
My mind thence starts to yearn.
...

I AM WAITING

When I opened my eyes for the first time,
Sought I, that loving warmth;
...

The gentle breeze tugs at my hair,
As I sit alone by the road
That leads to my future..
I feel the overpowering beauty of nature..
...

The cell doors clanged shut,
And my fate was sealed for a long time to come..
Imprisoned within the bleak four walls,
I screamed for justice.
...
