enthusing
the withering tree
 birds' melody tunes

world of birth
word of death
reside  eventually
in heart and soul
like two sides of a coin

walking through
the silence of woods
heard hard cries
of autumn leaves
leaving behind
 spring memories

in the  front of
umpteen connosieurs
he shivers alone
a play back singer
in chorus song.

slowly withering
my front yard lawn
morning frost
 the known  culprit.

flush greenery
highlighted
with red bushes
sprawling  around
autumn dawn.

morning  sun
singing lullabies
instead wake up songs.

Who are you?
following me althe time
whether it is day or night .

I 've no words to speak to you
if you have some , come  express yourself
and amaze me in your own style.

Let this moon spread his brightness all around us
and energise our feelings to move to gether in life.
If you follow me you will be just an admirer 
and if at all  i can follow you you will be a guide for ever.

i look at her face

just forgetting the moon

----------------------------------------

bringing tears
to my distained eyes
her smoky words.

bringing to halt
my life's fortune wheel
her departure.

turning turtle
our musical ears
new film songs

rolls on ceaseless
the wheel of fortune
 in disarrayed times

turning on ups and downs
this
 cart wheel
images a life's cycle.

dew drops
on her flower plant
disturbing
 messages
 on moblie

turning turtle
our country music
modern film beats

turned turtle
in modern life styles
our village life

the wheel of village life
turned turtle
in modern life styles

making the life cycle
forever to go green
a cartwheel in sight

on the green lawn
well before
few  hard rocks
life revolves round
 as a cart wheel

turning on ups and downs
the cart wheel
images a life's cycle.

turning turtle
my poetic mind
rejected haiku

settling
comfortably
 in the  key hole
a mosquito

intruding
through the widow
early sun  rays

turning on ups and downs
the cart wheel
images a life's cycle.

turning the cart wheel
before hard rocks
a tryst with destiny.

on the green lawn
well before
 hard rocks
life turns  round
 as a cart wheel

eats her own pie
spelling mistakes.

avenue of trees
protecting  soldiers of
healthy environs.

wilted buds
eulogising
futile love

on the nuptial night
mother teaches the bride
how to behave

slowly
 catching cold
my eyes and ears
hearing  the wake up songs
of winter streams.

stepping into
winter shoes
beach flip flops

sneaking fast
into winter streams
summer nights

imprints
of your love
slowly fading
on autumn desk.

slips into winter streams,

in her family way
the sweet mango
tastes so sour.

in her family way
the sour mango
tells a sweet story.

tumbling down
from high cliff
an autumn leaf

abandoned house

searching for its web

lone spider

silence
hugs me tight
no comment on her
angry looks.

dropping down
the petals of flower
 is autumn there
  in the offing
or the summer waning?

her where abouts
spells a  mystery
 tsunami waves high

hanging creepers

greet on my head

roof garden

routine love story
nohiccups
on  ship wreck

quacking
in my flip flops
departing summer

bald patches
a forlorn love story
of a green heart

love triangle
her stars
twinkle on single side

wavering sounds

from ego and envy
unwrap the soul
preach the principles
in their virgin form

lovers
skid their wishes
behindthe perk bench.

brewing coffee
suffuses the air
 scents of her warmth.

on a banana leaf
i scribble your name
whistling friendship

tick tick tick
the sounds of wall clock
my lonely  companion

ascending and
descending
ants on temple steps.

invigorating
the smell of jasmines
from  the sanctorum

turn coat
he dismisses
all niceties.

waking up
my inner senses
temple bells

silences
 the taped  music
chanting   devotees

lady of luck
wavering
 in the minds of
dating love.

tossing up
the coin of love
puzzled  hearts

temple steps
slowly heading to sanctorum
 tiny ants
---------------------------

spreading smells of
incense sticks
sweetness of almighty

behind the dark chamber
the delightful you and me
in strict  silence

slowly departing
the summer sun
ahead of you and me.

and ship wrecked love?

in the large  pond
a small fish
smiling on Issa

a blue sheet
high above my head
the sky starts
wgispering intomy ears.

she hides
behind the tree
spreading large
expanse of sheen

dropping

my wiltedheart.

hovering before me
an elephant of surprise.
my himalayan blunders

as an autumn tree
unshaking and
so peturbing
my insane mind

smell of jasmines
covering my nostrils
where do you hide now?

rowing
deeper into the flows
my unsettled mind.

swimming in the pond

sway as ducks

crickets sing pathos
very deeper inthe woods
