The Red Lipstick!

The Red Lipstick !

The enchantress steps out,
Armed with her arsenal, a pout.
She has arrived and is here to stay
No bad, sad, bleak or black day,
Can stop the tempest in her purposeful stride,
As her red lips form that perfect smile.
The laughter ringing with confidence supreme,
A business can take off or crash down at her will.
A torrent can follow her or a traffic stand still,
If she opens those red lips and laughter spills.

Her little handbag with a raised flap,
Smaller is the treasure in her fistful clasp.
Admiring herself in a mirror at hand,
Her red lipstick plays a trick grand.
Setting up a pace for a day new,
Her spirits soaring as she takes a pew.
Secretive is the reflection that stares back,
Splashing the canvas red, right on track !

The warmth of a bosom can this red seem to a child,
Fiery like a seductress she makes men follow her wild !
Intentful, determined epitomise her,
Cool too casually becomes her !
Her red lipstick’s truly a weapon heady,
As the enchantress steps out calm and steady !

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...
