Rooted on the Seashore

Silhouetted against the sky at dusk

Reserved and timid to be seen along

The golden horizon, covered in husk,

I'm fixed here from dusk to dawn, for lifelong; 

Taking refuge from the sky up high,

Burned and washed-out in sun and rain,

Growing ever bright, it helps beautify;

I'm rooted here all alone, with Nature I sustain. 

Standing on ground close to the seashore,

Quenching thirst with saline water mostly,

Surviving as I grow, into the earth my feet bore;

I'm planted here on sand, in a place remotely. 

Cheers!

Colors of Twilight

In varying colours, from pink to blue,

Sun ends the day with a bold highlight;

Painting the sky with a golden hue,

As day and night meets at twilight;

The wind and everything else stands still,

As do I, enjoying the moment's thrill.

Cheers!

Girl Behind the Drapes

A glimpse of the world out there,

Seen briefly through the drapes;

Adrift in a corner seat, I stare

at the vague colours and shapes;

Trying to imagine what's behind, 

My thoughts are on the other side;

Hazily seen through the blind;

Imagination shall be my guide. 

Slightly clouded blue sky, I see;

Appears still and calm, the sea;

On the shoreside, placidly she

Is sitting, under a greener tree.

Cheers!

Warm Showers

Don't you see conflict up there?

That's what I was talking about,

New day has dawned, full of despair,

For the sun, who even sent a scout

to the night sky, with a divine decree,

to keep the skyline clear by morning tea;

As the sun gets enraged by the hour,

And the scattered clouds get more denser,

There will be darkness and a warm shower,

As the wind chuckles and goes gentler;

Take your umbrella to work today,

and yeah, grab sun lotion on the way.

Nevertheless, have a great day! 

Cheers!

Sun Dance

When the sun goes down, at twilight,

The horizon sets ablaze a colourful show,

And elsewhere will be a beautiful sunrise,

As we wait for the night sky to say hello;

The magic takes place every day, everywhere,

And it's never the same any day, anywhere;

I sit in silence watching the sun dance,

The sight of it sending chills up my spine;

Half conscious in a slight state of trance,

In the colorful sky, I see your graceful smile;

The dusk falls into a beautiful starry night,

leaving me gazing, till you to come alight.

Cheers!

The Natural Pair

After few days of dullness,

Shying away behind clouds;

Today, shining in its fullness,

In the blue sky, the sun is proud;

Chilly wind died off, for now;

The trees greener, standing still,

With no movement in the bough,

Leaves spread-out to light, for refill;

Quiet and warm at the surface, 

Providing for all the lost tears,

Of yesterday sky, and all other days,

Mighty sea with bright sun; a natural pair.  

Cheers!

A Beautiful Moment

The beach, may not have white sand,

The sea, may not be crystal clear, 

But the waves, kiss the shore, just the same;

The sky, with all shades of the blue band,

Yachts and boats, anchored everywhere,

And the wall in-between, keeps the coast safe;

Here I stand behind the bench, near the sand bank,

It's warm and sunny here, this time of the year,

Scenic place on the horizon, don't know the name;

Lost in this beautiful moment, hand in hand,

Time flies as they hold still, at a speed unclear,

And going back in time now, in words I frame;

Can't express all the details, hope you understand,

Such a breathtaking scenery, it's not my frontier,

And yet, here I try so hard, oh it's just lame.

Cheers!
