after five long tears

he stood before us

our leader,  a scare crow

all the darkness in me

washed away

her sparkling eyes

deer stares at me
 questioning
my haunting eyes

sitting aloof
in distance woods
autumn clouds.

walking through
the autumn woods
clouds image in better way.

trial walk
all through the path
sounds of dry leaves.

passing clouds
hovering above
the undecided love.

Thanks giving
the fall colors
bow to mother earth
lraving behind
unfinished
dream agenda

exhibiting
through
barn walls
autumn show

un solicited path
leading to divinity
selfishness.

streaking into
silent woods
autumn dawn

the polluted minds
reaching the sky
orange clouds

all her lovely words
unheard
clattering clouds
chatting together
in high decibles.
---------------------

clattering clouds
all her lovely words
scattered 

shrouded
in thick dark clouds
youthful love.

a dry leaf
settled under
 thick greenery
autumn  desires
with winter hopes

smoke in the air
is there something
boiling inside?
--------------------
an unknown identity
strolling ahead of me
ensuing winter

waiting
for someone to hug
winter wind
===============

waiting
for someone to hug
winter wind

smoke in the air
is there something
boiling inside?

 in a soundless park
a colorful extravaganza
 the gift of autumn 

moon
in eclipsed clouds
an unborn child
---------------
maddening clouds
running helter- skelter
undelivered  love

a dry leaf
saddled under greenery
autumn desires
-------------------

matted clouds
nothing to rain
except tears

a spark

dazzling in her eyes

new found love.

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

birth of a rain drop
echoes originate
from non pregnant sky.

nothing to grab
nor to give away
solar panel's
woes in winter

hiding behind
very tall palm trees
moon smiles in thunders.
----------------
pink flowers
shine high
in the midst
of white ones
a soulful nature
sings a sweet song

golden Sun
raising high
above sea waters
belittling
some  dark clouds

nourishing the lawn
with mothers milk
incessant rain 

"yes it is adeath blow"
cries a spring leaf
'nothing but natural'
ascertins
  the  autumn

golden clouds
parading over  sky scrapers
autumn's  joy 

fall colors
all your  letters of love
shining on the ground

wind storm
the  love stories you told
whisked away.

windstorm
buttons you tied on my back
slowly loosen.

wind storm
unkept promisses
hoary  at  my ears.

wind storm
all those sweet nothings
washed away

wind storm
all the sweetness in love
turns sour

timber tight
affection
no space
 for my love

parading
 thick black clouds
between you and me
a paradise
lost  forvever.

behind  high mountains
multiple colors
the sunset

gang raped
the integrity and morality
of the humans
 once for all
 by luxurious life style

like moonlit night
its whiskers shining bright
 cat the lone  culprit
who drank
a  pot  of milk 

your inteligence
no way better than mine
my dear fox

as  hazardous moon  gazes
a passing  cloud
crosses mountain peak

bidding finally
an adieu
to spring shoots
the autumn sets in
to exhibit an art show

sitting high
on the  mountain peak
 i shake hands

delightfully
with passing clouds

life delivers us
a baton to win
and also
to strike  a blow
ultimately  to death.

how many colors
 do i have
to paint
this  twilight sky?

lined up as soldiers
the large avenue of trees
 welcome  autumn arches

from green
to finally golden sheen
the saga of a leaf
a lesson
one should learn

falling prey
 to winter cold
the leaf turns
its life to brown.

never again
and not now
the storm warnings
in fun filled tone
omg

spread
all over the sky
a multi colored carpet
the forecast  of
a  winter storm 

hunger
 knows no taste
taste buds
 learn more
from hunger strips.

blurred image of
 bygone
 spring  show
come again my beloved!
 in seasons' row.

perched on
colored  leaves tree
a colorless bird

silence alone
streaming into  woods
today, a cold day!

shrouding clouds
wrapped up
all  your letters of love

love
never fails
only lovers do
===============

glorify
the concept of love
not the persons involved,

searching
for a heart
lost for ever
 at your behest.
[World heart day]

fragrant flowers
grant us
scents of spring
to last for ever.

just
a mile away from her
i   never wish
to miss any of
 her smiles in between

walking lonely
the remaining miles
a world sans her word
----------------------------------

scents of winter breeze
parading over
autumn trees
un bridled hopes.
==========================

dropping down
all yellow and dry leaves
winter,the  wizard

come september
to sing and swing
 in spring
your sweet  tunes
 once again

a withered petal

still spreading scents

unforgettable love

a withered petal
in my old diary
scenting her smiles

how these petals
are so soft and delicate
does your lips teach them so?

s[m]elling
by smiles alone
a jasmine petal

alone
flying high
and spreading
 so  deep
a  scenting petal

working out
 an extramile
i lost thedesire of
weighing the  obesity
as a fear
 in modern vocabulary  .

come september
to sing and swing
 in spring tunes
once again

thick embraces
of the winter cold
trees invariably
 change their tints
and gift their leaves

in the winter yard
standing alone fearless
a weeping willow

 paint it in colours
blackmoney from swiss banks?

digitable India

i see the raining sky
very clearly
holes in umbrella

an oak tree's shadow
stretching too far and sowide
in a new man's world
    ----
to all their  misdeeds
no body can hold the key
except their own self
    - ---

heavens ring in joy
when sinners bid  adieu
to all their  misdeeds
    -----

god is charity
when devotees beg for boons
in strict devotion
    ------

rolled by devotees
diety smells the fragrance sticks
in joy and delight
    ------

god is charity
depending on donations
rolled by devotees
    ------

walking lonely
the last mile
tiresome heart.

from green to brown
the saga of a leaf
 settling in
 sheer bewilderment

miles before
they depart
scanty rain clouds.
country side
now a desert.
================

drizzling all over
the grass blades
on shower bath

years have passed
not the tears of 9/11
drained out

bidding farewell
to a pleasant summer
holding  heavily
 on head
winter woes.

turning the cart wheel
well before hard rocks
life,is a tryst with destiny.

unheard of
till the last breath
a well known voice.
the dancing steps
 finally  faltered.

in indian ink
my portrait
neither amazing
nor addresssing
----------------------------

rainy day
many an umbrella
hold the sky

bridging the gap
from divinity to the serenity
free flow of under currents

crossing the shoreline
waves shatter their heads
to touch divine's feet

bridging the way
 from spring to autumn
green ish  brown trees

shedding  all fears
 in tandem
the spring leaves
move ahead
 to hug  autum woes

in the midst of night
 a bright light
enlightens my sight
 from  a  sad  plight

sliding down
from hill tops
water falls in quandary

freshly inked
his negative feelings
once again

freshly inked
his negative feelings
once again--

silver bluemoon
spreading warmth
to all twinkling stars.

making drive ways
 and pathways colorful
autumn fest

blotting
all the pains
inked by him
on memory plank
erasing tears

no sun today
that  flower
tilts towards
the mother earth

trains
may come and go.
The rails
and the tracks
remain as it is

long way to go
this rest life
dictatesme
many useless terms

neither so  cold
nor too hot
how to hold
the sun and moon
tight to my chest?

rain rain
come again.
the crops
 in the fields
desire to shine

tilting all heavy weights
to modern gadgets---
obesity

tilting  mind and soul
on lone  devotion
the old age

tilting the whole weight
on a flower bed
butterfly.

tilting both the eyes
towards item dance
a connosieur
-------------------------

wood rose
is your loving heart
so hard to melt down?

bicycle  i
purchsed
from  my first salary
still pays
rich  dividens

showing us clearly
the path of
springs departure!!

wrapped up
in soft silk cloth
a hard hit love.

a stinking parcel
found on the attic
failed love story

found on the attic
in double wrap
a failed love story

pale clouds
parade
 allover the sky
welcoming
the winter sun

the moon waits for none
in a hurry
   to rush early
it is winter  now.

------------
come september
again
once again
song of spring.

not now
never again
teenage love

yet to wake up
from  the  darkened  wraps
teenage love

slowly
dropping to the ground
love in  autumn's wrap

leaving darkness
to the night columns
i stare at her
moonlit face
again as a gain

squinting  a lot
she neither
confirms nor denies

fearing about
 cold winds
an autumn leaf
deserts the tree

an edge over
blunt ones
a sharpened pencil

dropping down
nervously
autumn leaves

slipping down
to shivers
autumn leaves

onthe edge
of  dewy grass blades
rain bow spash

in the bunch
of fragrant flowers
haiku smells  high

golden sheen
all around the woods
 sun  alone is
 the hero of the day

slowly spreading sunlight
the dawn dominates
the entire woods

unsolved puzzle
the child
sharpens his pencil.

your  unrequited love.

forget and forgive
my pencil's ganesha sketch
for this night

the child prefers
wake up songs
to lullabies
whacky wednesday

not on the lawns
but in the woods
winter's moonlight

parading pebbles
at these  shores
are they thesame
you threw at me
while swimming
in the ocean of love.

on the rocks
allthe niceties
i loved in her
departed partner

not interested
to taste the grapes
in your orchard now
do they become sour
by tomorrow
in our  treatise of love?

loud rendering
from neighbours
 boy in me wakes up

winter chillness
wind chimes
start shivering

old is gold
the spring leaves
confirm

shrill sounds of
katydids
lullabies to woods.

snoring
dad and mom
no need of a lullaby

ringing
in my heart and soul
mother's lullaby

scribbling something
you can't read out
my love letter

airing
lullabies on phone
willows take to rest.

etching footprints
 on rocks
lovers soften hearts.

weeping willows
settle down to sleep
lullabies on phone

lullaby
on cell phone
tiny tot in mute .

a few raindrops
whisked away
ending summer strip

sweet message
from a wrong number
harsh reality

long distance call
still unconnected
paradise,  not regained

distance call

unexpected call
from known number
alas! disconnected

a clarion call
from  boss

call

all her phone calls
shrouded in clouds

all her phonecalls
shrouded---
does wave length differs?

all  her phone calls
shrouded--
wavelength differs

weaving round

abandoned rhoughts

a spider's web

===================

collecting coins
from ganesh's navel
impulsive youth

mouse scratches
idol's navel
utsav time

negotiating audience
to mute
the sounds 0f film music.

nothing glares
except the navel
item dancer .

a dark patch
on the story line
her belly dance.

out of the clouds
lazily
the summer sun!

prayer place
for our village
the navel stone

eco balance
  greening the heart
in single slot

piercing
 through my heart
your undesired love.

waiting for the catch
the drought hit
farm lands

his enemies too
joined band wagon
a funeralprocession

away and afar

you ride the skies

with migration alone

pestering the mind

for a destiny unknown.

==========================

cloudy sky
mushrooming
 idle thoughts.

migrating
in desert thoughts
a funeral pyre

golden hues
parading in  sky
adorn her  kisses

solar eclipse
she tightens
her waist 

in the midst of milky way
some dark strips
forlorn  love

neither obscene
nor off season
our worshipping culture

well before te season
the leaves start falling
peturbed nature

waving adieu
to lake waters
shades of twlight

touching
all  dry hearts
a lake flows .

silence
between us
a sad profile.

turning the wheel
to full circle
time waits for none

unending travel
antithesis sailing
between us.

drought hit
the entire  horizon
a desert.

learning curve
stretches
shrouding the horizon.

my learning curve
stretches far beyond
the horizon

counting
the number of syllables
i lost aha moment!!

beyond  horizon
behind ocean
permeating love.

beyond the hills
beyond the oceans
springs of love.

bidding farewell
to a pleasant summer
beholding on head
winter woes.

swimming
in solitude
autumnleaf

travelling
lonely into the woods
a winter wave.

undesired guest
on summer tracks
thunder storm

a lone waiter
on rainy days
an autumn tree

standing alone
in rainy showers
unused  umbrella

top notch foe
kids play inside
cry out since long

I  love to live once again
like the withered tree
shines in spring's green
and like the cuckoo sings in sheen
I love tolive once again
and to ride on this delightful train

I  like to live again like a flower
that spreads scents of fragrant shower
I prefer not to quiver at all
I wish once again to loveall.
=================================

I  wait for a chance
to see you in trans
of my lovely romance.

look at the moon light
it makes you bright
and takes you in a flight
to shower some delight
straight into your heart.

from heart and soul.
---------------------------------

Blue jacaranda flowers
spread all over
the drive ways and walking paths
advising onlookers
that the spring has sprung.

The scenic beauty of lalwns and backyards
instill more delight in the autumnal hearts
which were let down with heavy snow fall
and wind chills withno way to goout
toget things done in scheduled manner .

The geenery all around masquerading
the withered blues of winter trees
slowly disappeared from heart and soul.
================================

glancing at the butterfly
i skip hop and jump
from  present times.

less luggage
more comfort
my travel a pleasure

[old saying on walls of compartment]

small pleasures
on summer streets
a few drizzles.

a few drizzles
now and then
small pleasures.

anew and afresh
the boat ride in the  lake
summer's last phase.

birds
flying back to nests
paradise regained.

dimple
on your cheek
as simple as you

stumbling block
between you  and me
the flying gossips

a feast in the woods
none to enjoy the food
all eyes stare at
the fruit bearing trees
stood  nearby.

huge obscene cut out
of the famous film star
traffic jam ahed

no body can travel ahead
without glancing at
 huge obscene cut out.

loosing their faces
to golden hue

bidding an adieu
to pleasant summer
and slowly
slipping into
winter rues.

sprinkling
scarlet and blue colors
