Dust from behind cars up blown,
And took shapes of creatures mankind never seen,
Then joined hands of summer wind and danced,
Across the barren land under a tree I sat,
The tree cooled the wind and there I just sat.

Tried to think about the days to come,
But found none to guide in future ways,
Tried to think into the days to past gone,
Found none who cared to follow my ways.

Up to the tree I looked and aloud I said,
“Oh’ once upon a time far, far from here I saw,
A picture of a tree and in my heart I wished,
Like that tree one day I will find a place to grow,
And branch out becoming a shade to all,
But a man I am who in plights through lands passes,
And my growth is in every step I lay,
And the lesson I learn when upon every eyes I look”.

Stood up I and walked through the barren lands,
Heard no branches clank or saw no waves of leaves,
Then a thought through my mind passed,
The lives of people I must touch,
The lives of things I must reach,
Are the ways of future through which I must pass.

Alone in the back yard I stood,
Time the wonderful walker walked,
Space the carrier of time across spread,
Why am I in this space through which,
Time slowly ahead and ahead walked?
Space moved, time moved along with it all,
Unknown to all I too moved.
 
Midnight galloped away with her dark stallions,
Way above witnessing an onlooker of life watched,
Blinking stars in all their wonders moved,
Smiled I at those fast moving creations of God,
It’s just that God paused me in this backyard,
When all others moved way beyond,
Some even on the dark stallions fell behind,
Then there are those with all efforts to forget I tried,
Only one remained in mind, whom I forgot to make her smile.

Happy Noon!!
The wind through the fans round and round went,
And from the heat all around in vengeance danced, tried to cloak,
Silent I sat as in depths of mind patience settled scores with passions,
A thousand reasons I can say to be frustrated, sad and depressed,
Oh’ time can drag his feet around me,
A thousand curses and black magic, foes at me can throw,
Take away every means of life I have,
Cry I will not, silent I never will be,
The patience will persist the lover will never sleep,
The waiting first brought pain, then all froze,
Then it became a habit, now an addiction,
In the obsession of one successful blessing,
I find happiness this day and will find every day after,
As somewhere in my mind echoed the vows,
Of love and happiness for my darling I want to share.

Life is a dream for the deprived,
Life is a fulfillment for the lucky,
Life is boring for the lazy.

The cunning summer no longer played hide`n’seek,
But still a wonderful artist as all over horizon painted,
The beauty of a morning I have never seen before,
And may never see again to my mind I said.

Then upon the bed laid and all alone watched,
The sun rolling his muscles over well painted image,
Billions of golden rays upon my face fell and reminded,
Only a soul filled with love for me can compete,
Somewhere she is and hopes a wonderful morning she sees,
And wishes the world a wonderful morning from her wonderful soul.

To the blistering heat of the sun the day fell tired,

And the veins bled the skies and went dark,

Birds lost their ways screaming flew,

Creepy creatures out of their holes crawled.

 

The depth of mind in it all reflected.

The silence of mouth kept listeners away,

Oh’ the poet see in the dark same as light filled time,

As the light of his love for the darling shined bright.

 

The evening died, night took the corpse away,

The night flew all around without directions.

Oh even the darkness looks deep in my mind,

As the love for her calmed this mind and all seen.

 

The sun shined up bright,
The birds hid under the widened leaves,
The sky cleared to show blue up high,
The heat of summer all around felt,
The heat of summer even heavens sweat,
The heat of the heart in the summer buried,
The beat of the heart so fast heard,
The one it meant to be ignored what’s heard,
In sweetness or sourness of life,
Heart in pause wait to know.

The warmth of summer like an ocean spread,
Darkness too stood bare naked sweating,
Then to fuel the summer for yet another day birthed,
Morning in the east in silence of Mother Nature,
And this poet a good morning for you all wish,
And for a cooler day and a wonderful day pray.

The latest poem written from a man’s perspective of waiting for a girl’s response. There is a 9 and a half min explanation about why I wrote this poem in the video. The video is presented by Zane.

Hide Not Within Forgetfulness.

Mother Nature kept her eyes closed,
As darkness all around loomed,
Winter a season many don’t want to feel
And in the season of winter upon your eyes I looked,
And warmth of care and love cloaked me.

In your warm smiles and caring words woke,
Nature all around earlier than Almanac spoke,
Nesting birds as if in meditation sang to bring rain,
In the spring rain upon your eyes I looked,
Nature stealing colors for flowers I saw.

Sun from far joined Nature’s dance,
The glitters of morning dew spread,
The pollens all around flown,
In the summer warmth upon your eyes I looked
And calm and cool the restless mind became.

Realities to my mind rushed,
Rationales in soliloquy argued,
Then I sang, forget me not O’ darling,
Forget me not, for in your heart resides,
The loving heartbeat of mine.

Enslave the body,
Enslave the actions,
Enslave the speech,
But when it comes to soul,
In love surrender it for you I will.

Hide not O’ Darling, hide not,
For in the blink of your eyes I feel,
The breath of mine synchronized,
Every breath of mine in penance I surrender,
For the gladness of yours O dear.

A thousand dreams I can weave,
But they all on the smile less face of yours will melt,
So forever to keep you smile I pledge,
So hide not if any feelings for me you have,
Spread to my mind the calmness of autumn dusks.

Sweetness Of Hope.

Words out of mind came,
Like the mid-spring springs flowing,
As her smile melted frozen hearts,
Leaving eyes in happiness glowing.

In her presence silent none remained,
As her gladness she shared,
And inspired the desperate to be cheerful,
Sad to be glad, cheerful to be happy.

With her presence, unloved feel loved,
Those alone, her heart beat they heard,
And the care of a soul filled with life,
Oh’ care of a simple human all felt.

Lovely like a dove,
A heart filled with love,
Oh sure she is a blessing to all, from above.

Far across lands many minds in hopes awoke,
Far away she maybe but breathless I sat,
Took the quill I once in despair of romance down laid,
At her smiling image I once more looked
And verses in my thoughts filled with dreams I wrote,
About hopes of love and love in hopes,
As, such is the sweetness of hope, Hope spreads.

Here is the video of presentation of the poem. The explanation of why I wrote this poem is there too.
