Be with God

There is radiance
when the sun rises,
there is resplendence
when God with you empathizes.

There is no darkness
when the sun is present,
there is no fearfulness
when with God you are present.

Doves

Doves

When true love
With affections plough;
And feelings surge
For the hearts to merge,

The hearts witnessing,
Are with emotions a-flowing—
Glory be to the Loves,
And blessed be the Doves.

Butterflies

Butterflies are lovely
Butterflies are colourful
They are immensely pleasing
While I see them flitting

From flower to flower
From bower to bower
God's beautiful creation
Wonderful to heart's recreation.

Two Alike

Two Alike

Two Entities
Pulsating alike—

Two hearts
Beating alike—

Two minds
Throbbing alike—

Two souls
Singing alike!

Has anyone seen
Such a like

In this world
Where nothing is alike?

Riches

Rich
are truly rich
only
when towards
love for humanity
they inch.

Riches
truly glisten
only
when in spontaneity
their mind
is very kind.

Riches
are truly fine
only
when the poor and needy
get a dime
to dine.

Be Wise

If we are wise,
The great technological revolution,
Can lead to profusion,
For all and World Peace.

If we are unwise,
The great technological revolution,
Can lead to the extinction,
Of all hope and all life.

Nature's Nature

Nature's Nature

Dry
And wry
Is the earth,
Ready to

Anything
That may chance
On her.

Try
The mortals
However much
To quench her
Seedlings thirst,

Cry
They as the babe

Soothing Night

Troubles steadily rise
and pains start throbbing
in the morn at dawn.

Drudgery and toil
travails and sweat
pervade throughout the day.

Soothing touch
of the angel night
relaxes the exertion
and we wake up
a giant refreshed.

When In Love

Why does
the flower smile:
the bell chime
and the birds sing?

Why is
the grass greener
the breeze cooler
and the music sweeter?

Ah! It is all
because
I've fallen in love
with her
whose heart beats
in symphony
with mine!

Prathibha Cauvery

To Tamil Nadu
Karnataka denied Cauvery.

To Tamil Nadu
cyclone Nilam
brought Prathibha Cauvery!

It was with Tamil Nadu
for eleven days
from 31st October 2012
regaling the people
from far and near.

Now it too has been salvaged!
