Wish I Were A Flower
Wish I Were A Flower
Flowers, dear flowers!
kissing your delicate visage
I blush and murmur
be it autumnal hues of yellow
scarlet, pink or blue azure
you dearly entice my soul
I lisp tenderly
when your thought even touch me
and wake me to the slumberous tenderness
for I am transported then and there
to another realm of love
your gentle nudge fills my defeated spirit
and eclipsed dreams with faith and hope
with quintessence of faith and hope
TO ME..YOU ARE THE RADIANCE OF OPTIMISM
AFTER EVERY OBSCURE NIGHT OF PESSIMISM
From bud to bloom
as you release your smile slowly
In seamless transition
showcasing carpe diem spirit
I take a cue from you
to uphold my desire of reaching the stars
When enthusiasm sags
dull moments cripple me
and I run out of ideas
your hypnotic aura summons me
In hues bright
when you whisper “life is a living guitar
each breath is melody and rhythm”
I twirl in sheer ecstasy to defy vicissitudes of time
hope I stumble upon the correct expressions
to delineate …how much you mean to me!
YOU SPRINKLE MORE JOY
LET THE GLEAM OF EFFERVESCENCE OVERRIDE
VEILS OF DULLNESS AND GRAY
You have never shrunk from your responsibilities
nor have you failed in performing
your assigned duties
be it lifting mood, adding sheen to celebration
spelling out ‘love’ sans words
or even a funeral procession
utter diligence has been your trademark and emblem
When the nimble dusk envelopes
and chatters settle down
people are back to their nests
to rest and recuperate
sleep eludes your anxious mind
for you are not sure of continuing
thoughts keep hovering about
“whose cruel hands would snatch your life!”
It is strange that you don’t carry grudge
with a mighty heave you sign off
FOR YOU BELIEVE IN THE ULTIMATE REVENGE
THAT IS TO FORGIVE AND FORGET
Wish…I could imbibe a morsel of the virtues that you own.
