Petrichor !

After a heavy work day,
When things seem amiss.
One must sit in a garden,
Water sprinkling amidst.
The earth around all wet,
Engulfing the senses with a mist.
Soulful symphony of wet earth
Touching a chord in the heart, a tryst !
Water falling onto the soil,
So sun kissed.
The first rainfall of the season,
Making this soil tranquil.
Filling its pores down,
Upto the crypt.
Reaping the seeds planted,
Delicately earth laced air rises.
The smell of this wet earth,
Adds such a thrill.
Consumes one with,
An extraordinary bliss.
Of oneness of soul,
It speaks.
For, from this soil we all arise,
And to it as ashes we must return when we die !

    The poet has a tendency to be one with nature effortlessly.And from a state of enjoying nature through senses she becomes transcendental so easily.A good poem,indeed!

    We never noticed the beauty of nature because we were too busy trying to re-create it.

Morning Twilight

Morning twilight Being with the universe is a rare gift, Reserved for those that do not drift. Dare to rise before the morning light, At the dawn twilight. Before the sun rises up in the sky, To share in unique a joy. Watch the mixing of colours, On the horizon’s canvas. As the nature paints, A sensational scenery in grey, black and white, Dawdling its brush in scattered orange sunlight. Deft brush strokes pulling out some blue, From the sky to add a purple hue. Quite a visual treat it is, To see the Master paint His masterpiece! See that orange colour, Form a hint of a semicircle where heaven and earth meet each other ! See the birds leave their cozy nests, Riding on the cloudy crest. Adding sound to the vision so far created, To an emotional experience early riser is treated. Chirping and singing such natural music, Scenery just got more attractive ! Now the breathing movements get added, From the trees that open up their branches. Creating silhouettes s...

The Mummy !

The Mummy Thousands of years In the twilight of history, A knight galloped Across the territory. Over the hills Across the desert, To woo a dame A beauty, to treasure. Many a mile he covered For many a day, To reach the castle The goal of his way. The hour was of twilight Exhaustion, slight Wonderstruck he stood Anticipating the sight. Darkness fell all around, The knight stood still... lost in reverie. Of the eyes he thought The musical laughter, The childish games The leaking shelter. A swift command to the horse With joy in his heart, Paraded ahead And gave a start. Amongst the ruins Of carved slate and stone, Rose a tomb On which an inscription shone; “In the memory of all those Who laid their lives To a fury Heaven had never unleashed before.” Shrieking like a madman He entered the tomb, And gazed at the corner Where a red bud bloomed. Pitchers and pots Antiques and dreams, Shining jewels And craftsmen’s seams. He stood like a ...

Age Wise !

Age Wise ! As the years pass by, And I grow older. I find myself at a loss, As I sit back and ponder. A decision I must now take, To age with grace, And embrace, Those peculiar quirks that one begins to trace. On head, body or the face ! And know it’s just a phase A part of a life lesson, That time and tide wait for none ! I look at those little imposters, That within my head I foster That threaten to auster, And change my posture ! Adding that grey blotter, To the brown on my head. I look at them and wonder why, I need to dye, The only signs of any wisdom, Aye ! Tiny wrinkles around my eyes, That I see magnified Five times in that mirror ! I look at them and wonder why, Those I rather enjoy. Cause they add a twinkle, Little laughter and a light hearted crinkle ! That memory I could so vouch for, Remembering details that threaten to bore. Mountains out of anthills I could make, Remembering, repeating , a take and a re- take! No event or a face, C...
