Valsa George Poems

I saw....
Two black crystal balls
Rimmed with white
Reflecting an indefinable emotion
...

Far away in ancient Jerusalem
Stood a garden, long, long ago
Home to giant oaks and figs
And plants and shrubs of every kind.
...

December is here with Christmas beckoning at the door

And the whole streets illumined with colorful lights and stars
But his tiny hut looked dismal n’ dark like a prison camp

Breeding in the silence of your soul
It leaves furrows on your brow

Her bones, porous and brittle, might break any day

Under the poplar tree on a starry moonlit night
Though they had planned it over many a time
It came to fruition after such long lapse of years
...

Guarded by towering hills on the East
Flanked by the Arabian Sea on the West
With its easterly shore of stretching sandy swell
That lulls the restless waves to sleep
...
