Lonely Eucalyptus
11/30/05 |
Once upon a time,
You stood like a tree-
Undeterred by the winds,
But wanted to be free!
Conversations of moonlit nights
When we joined the lip-
Are part of history now,
'Cause promises you didn't keep!
Memories float on mental webs
To hunt for a green life-
And I found a new love,
Truly without a mental strife!
Her beauty now outshines
Every corner and nook-
And I find it's inviting
When and wherever I look!
Withered skulls of grasses
Are changing so fast-
But assure me a new vitality
That would surely last!
So my perceptions about you
Now remind the lonely Eucalyptus-
Planted in backyard,
And short-lived with no more fuss!

On Being In Your Tongue
12/08/05 |
Aspiration and desperation of true love
Used to flock my adolescent heart-
Until you came along graciously,
And taught me the romantic art!
From the snowy peaks of Kilimanjaro
To the banks of Potomac river-
My restless mind conjured delicacy
And danced to shiver!
The Christmas Eve in Barcelona
Reminds me the jingle bells-
While we were sipping whiskey,
And you were telling the tales!
Candle lights at a distance
Were craving for winds to stop-
And in your silhouette dress,
You came to me hop, hop, hop!
From that moment on,
Our love grew by leaps and bounds-
Regardless of gentle ageing,
Our romance still meets the sounds!
Slow dancing under sleepy willows
Is alive and well even till today-
'Cause we're on each others arms,
No matter what the neighbors say!
Rings that we exchanged with our vows
Will glitter forever and ever-
And I will relish the moments and tastes
On being in your tongue, the lifesaver!

Koala’s Tale
07/31/08 |
Roaming in the jungles of mind
Made me a koala in New South Wales-
With a Bedouin life and pouch,
Where my memory dwells!
Mind was innocent,
And heart worry free-
While I moved from place to place,
Like bottom to the top of tree!
No bills to pay, hassles,
Or checks to write-
And slept like a baby
Through each and every night!
Now, the din and bustle of city
Rattles the peace around my nest-
And keeps me hopping
With new hopes to have the best!
I know no limits or speed,
When and where to stop or run-
But mimic a few voices,
Without a choice just for fun!
Well, the cheers of my younger years
Seem to be coming to a halt-
So colleagues are ready to clap and sing:
Au revoir! Koala! Take life with a grain of salt!!

Tadpole in A Loophole
07/31/08 |
Angling and snorkeling were favorite pastimes
In my formative years-
While watching the aquatic lives to grow
Brought me so many cheers!
As a cheerleader and savior of ecology,
Special interests loom in my mind-
So I trot the globe via air and water,
And write on whatever I find!
Rights of mammals and silent creatures
Of our planet are being trampled over-
By the man-made greed and pollution,
Where my mind now seems to hover!
Modern science has given us tools
To make many things known-
For the humanity with ambiguity,
At times on news they're neatly shown!
The beauty and serenity of nature
Have mesmerized me over the years-
But now, the solution of pollution
Is alarming us to bring new fears!
Loopholes for a mission to black holes
And a vision to tax evasion are rattling the brain-
So I am confused like a tadpole in a loophole
To speak out and jump on nature's gravy train!!
