Mermaid and The Shark in The Deep Mysterious Sea!

I love her so much
But she tells in her singsong manner
Shark loves her in a different way
And also I cannot live in the sea
Better you live as much as you can ashore
And after you die send the ashes to the sea!

Spirit level

The Mason's wife asked;
'What's that bubble in liquid
in your sealed glass tube? '
'That could test if our love is in a surface level? '
'Then you have to buy a new one throwing this rickety bed.'
She grumbled.

Their warm cage still stands

Though it's rusty,
Still strong enough to stay
And that's why they live together happily.
They do not want to fly
In the hopeless sky?

* Some birds they do prefer cages as they do not have strong wings to fly.

Even Flowers Sometimes Question of the Existence!

A tiny flower
sings
her melancholic song
and the tree is quiet as usual;
'Why you make me bloom
to the open space
as I have agoraphobia.
If I wither soon
You shouldn't bring me here,
And I go who knows where? '

An old florist still in his bachelor status

'You are almost forgotten to collect us sir,
I see the shinning town and I too like to give my rare fragrance to poor souls,
Anyway this is not a complaint but a kind request.' A wild flower begs in teary eyes.

A dewy tear on a Cobweb

A lonely spider thinks early in the morning
This could be a teardropp from the waning Moon
Who hides with the fear from the sparkle Sun.
He weaves the old web stronger than earlier
As a suspicion of her gatecrash.

A pale timid flower struggles to bloom in a competitive Summer

I do not have attractive colors
And soft petals
As same as the rare fragrance
Where the aggressive hornets require,
But I promise on one thing
Whoever comes first accidentally
I look after him well
Till I wither.

Trembling leaves of the money tree

Poor souls pray beneath the tree,
If a strong wind comes
Leaves would be scattered
And they can pick into their bags.
Yes, the storm came but leaves are still there
And the poor souls blown away!

A flower asks another beautiful name for her?

Poor Gardener
Why you collect
my withered petals
among the leaves
in your book of heart
that I have never seen
in the garden of love!

*A humble dedication to the poetess Sridevi I always adore her writing style!

Prostrated Elephant in the Jungle

Nobody bothers of the accident.
A kind Ant visited there and asked;
'What can I do for you Sir!
And if you want to get up
I can give you my hand? '

*It's not how far you fall, but how high you bounce.
-Anonymous
