The Flowers Are Talking

In the room drapes with heavy curtains
A speckle of sunlight creeps in between
Donning themselves in different shades of colours
The flowers are talking.

Dainty daisies, brilliant lilies, elegant roses
All crystal crowned in exquisite vases
They come in different form of classes
Carry an air of individual distinction.

Beautiful as they are, sophisticated they may be
Put them together in the same vase
They will get on each other's nerves.

Distinguished by their nurtured personalities
They talk of nothing but of one common interest.

In this room, the flowers are displayed in rows
Adorned by hues and brushes
They are men favourite subject matter.

Their timeless beauty are framed
While time eats into their petals.
What difference does it make?
They wither all the same.

Thorns And Roses

Thorns and roses
Creations of God
Equal rights to live
Equal rights to love

Be it passion of
Thorns and roses
Roses and thorns
Be it affection of
Thorns and thorns
Roses and roses
Blessings showered
Equal from above

A sin it is not for
Roses and roses
Thorns and thorns
To love and adore
To care for one another

Never inscribed
Only a tale
Thorns and thorns
Roses and roses
Is forbidden love

Roses and roses
Thorns and thorns
Like any reflections
On mirror the eyes see
Like any ordinary
Roses and thorns
Strolling on the streets

Despise not souls of
Thorns and thorns
Roses and roses
A feeling blessed
By the almighty Him

Embrace with open heart
The existence of
Roses and roses
Thorns and thorns
Just as God embraces
His delightful
Roses and thorns

Thorns To Thorns, Roses To Roses

Thorns to thorns, Roses to roses
A sin it is not
But creation of God

Thorns to thorns, Roses to roses
Just a common soul
Like the lot of us

Thorns to roses, Roses to thorns
Deride them not
They are family too

Thorns to roses, Roses to thorns
Their loves are as pure
Just like me and you

Thorns to thorns, Roses to roses
Beautiful beings alike
Love is for you too

Thorns to thorns, Roses to roses
Despise you not
Thorns to roses, Roses to thorns
Why do you?

Under The Dull Moonlight

Under the dull moonlight I saw a restless shape
Speckles of light fell upon his face

Sitting on the stairs facing the lake
Radiant eyes but empty gaze

Breezily I strolled by, stole glances dare I
To send a smile I was predictably shy

Inhaled enough courage I made another trip
Slowing down my pace, nervously I greeted

Returned with a smile, we started to chat
My heart ran wild, hidden in cold sweat

Tickling fast was the hour, midnight came uninvited
Let this night lasts forever, let my prayer be heard

Speckles of light fell upon my eyes
Under the dull moonlight
We bid goodbye

Bitter Yet Sweet

In every heart break

A flower will wither

Petal by petal, one upon another

Weeds will grow in lustrous meadow

Strangle each new bloom

In every heart break

Rain will fall

Pearl by pearl upon the window

Clouds will not move when the wind blows

Lifeless like a dead soul

Never let a broken heart

Masks the silver moon

Let a smile drowns all the heart's frowns

May a blink of star brightens the dusk

Heal all grievous sparks

Never let a broken heart

Fogs the golden sun

Let the gaze fades, its ray will radiate

May yesterday's scene no more than a dream

Brisk, bitter yet sweet

A Drop Of Love

A drop of love

Is what it takes

To make me feel beautiful

Gorgeous and not fake.

A drop of hope

Is what it takes

To make me feel alive

And to realize

There is where my future lies.

A drop of care

Is what it takes

To make me shed a tear in good faith.

A drop of You

Is what it takes

To make me complete.

Withered Is The Rose, Gone Is The Sparrow

Remember the promises we made?
It embraces hymns of praises from angels
Holy blessings from heaven

To love you I was told
Like the sun never fails to radiate
To stay close to a rainbow after the rain

Together you pledged
We will be inseparable by the sea
Till death do us stay in a bed filled roses

In tears I rejoice
Like a full moon luminous in twilight
Vow of love is made
Kept in faith shared by heaven

Though the pigeon takes to air my loving words
In total silence you keep
Not a peep, not even a tweet in reply

I wonder what went amiss
The rain still falls, the river still flows
But for withered is the rose
Gone is the sparrow
