Your Smile !

In the crowded space of Diwali fare,
You were looking like
A drop in the ocean;
My roving eyes when captured your image,
I was spellbound,
Halted in my motion;

By dint of luck,
Your eyes met mine,
It was a brief encounter;
But once again the magic wand moved,
And sweet bells kept ringing
With meaningful rhymes;

Then you smiled coyly, and
I was bowled over;
Your infectious smile is
My treasure to keep!

Love Stories

I fall on earth
After leaving abode
In the shape of raindrops,
I miss you, clouds;

Fishermen break my safety
Cover and extract,
I'm the pearl,
I miss you, shells;

I look intently with
Moist eyes, I'm
The fallen leaves
I miss you, trees

Winds coming from everywhere
Echoes my agony,
I'm lovelorn diva,
I miss you, my beau!
