When the pall of gloom overcasts my mind
And at cross roads bewildered I stand
I tell myself
This shall pass
...
Oh my Love! The throb and thrill of my life!
Why remain so elusive like will-o’- the- wisp?
Why vanish quickly like a delightful dream
Why fade out like a symphony sweet?
...
I am a rain drop flopped down from the clouds
I could have landed in a river or the sea
Then merging with the rising and receding tides
I would have been washed down into oblivion
...
She heard the sound of pigeons overhead
Looking up she saw them whirling and gyrating
Forming newly emerging patterns in the sky
They soared on and on
...
The heavens grew darker with rain clouds
The day looked like a misty shroud
Soon rain pelted down, whip lashing
Lightning unleashed its lethal rapier
...
After the blasts of winter
The Spring shall come once again,
...
'Ding dong bell
Let the merry bells ring'!
The blessed time of the year has come
...
When sleep deserted me
I crawled out of my bed unseen
To delve into the crevices of the dark
With the curiosity of an explorer
...
I hammered some words
Out from the quarry of my brain
They fell around in shards;
Some like boulders, some like rocks and rubble
...
After the sleet and snow of winter
Life prepares to take a rebirth
To adorn the barren spaces in a riot of colours
Sunlight glistens, daffodils and daisies spring
...
