Fragrance



Our every episode
Unfurls fragrances.
Mystic scent of rain is
Inflaming my senses.

A new born babe
Smells milk and powder.

But a child  immersed in
World of toys and everlasting wonders
Smells favourite snacks.

When grows to a teen
Fascination of dreams
Drizzles……….
World of high fashion and make up
Creates new waves of fragrance
Of the finest lavenders
To the royal mirages.

On attaining youth
Fragrance of love
Covers each
Inspite of challenges    
For stability.

In the Old age within four walls
With weakness and medicines,
Loneliness is the fragrance left forever.

THE LONELY WOODPECKER

After a deep sleep, with a sigh
I faced the world.
The startling sounds of glee.
Of them, only a few could I see.

My lovely days arose with
Their  prattling voices.
They seek out food in a hurry.
The usual sounds of cry.

I entailed to be portend.
The lonely times of boredom.
A concern of compassion
Often times in the offing threatened me.

The oneness that ties our feelings
For one be real.
I realized to appreciate
The language of love.
I was reluctant of humanity.
Was that an exceptional day for me?
