                                                                             Melody Of Spring   When the dawn cracks, The dove coos, Ethereal voices echo, Through the valley and the blue.   The moonlight fades, Fairies sleep on hills, Giving their heart and soul, To the enchanting daffodils.   A plethora of kites float, Between the earth and heavens, Their labyrinthine tangled strings, As if a cobweb spider has woven.   On the melody of the gust, Sweet songs does nightingale sings, Through the wonderlands, Of the wondrous mid spring.   Water pours into the hollow cup, Then the ice and icicles sink, When the goldfishes float, To the old pond new life it brings.   Splish! splash! sploosh! The mellow cascade flows, When a droplet on the rose sprinkles, Like the full moon it blossoms and glows.   The sun’s fierce stare, Like a million little glances, Tearing a cocoon a butterfly appears, Settles on a petal, and with the marigolds it dances.

Winter Arrives   As the winter arrives, The arctic winds whisper, Fog and frost scatters, As if they were sisters.   As the winter arrives, The flawless December ascends, And fairies on hill tops cast, spells for snowflakes to descend.   As the winter arrives, Trees get old, Lands get barren, Nights turn young and cold.   As the winter arrives, nightingale woes, and the dove sings, as if they were foes.   As the winter arrives, From the sky sprinkles snow, Disembarks from the heavens, Embarks on the mistletoe.   As the winter arrives, then the winter goes, the vibes of seasons change, the true joy of living it shows.  

  Life in the world   In the world of darkness and light, Comes blissful memories, sins and scars, When life is an endless fight, Then win less is tug of war.   Ivy grows and grows like doubts, Light and doubts strike till, Gushes destructive droughts, Shattering hope which failure never will.   In the end of a story there are words, On the other side of worry there is life, In the end of one world begins another world, It cuts both ways if sharp is the knife.   Love everything except hate, And the splendor of living could be, Expect anything except good fate, And the true colours of life you should see...

 Then: A Motivational Poem About Life Gazing at the blue sky, Grasping a cup of tea, A seagull takes flight, A wave soars over the sea. Wandering roads leads to meadows, Under the blooming tree there’s shadow.   Black and white colours of life, They arrive and then go, Some hurt and cut like knife, Thou shall reap what thee sow. Dark nights and the nightingale’s woes, And then the newborn crescent glows.   Breathe till the last breath, Aim like the archer’s bow, Hustle till occurs the death, High line leads to meadows. Watch the bright side whenever so, After rain watch the seven colours of rainbow!
