===Poem1============================
Amidst the sea-in a boat
====================================
Beside the sea,
sharing my pain.
Getting soaked in the rain.
with the peaceful atmosphere, all around,
I fell asleep all, safe and sound.
When I awoke, I found myself in a boat.
Amidst the sea, gripping my coat.
Like a moon arising in the gloomy sky.
Like a quivering flame of fire passing by.
A pleasant aroma of the peaceful silence soon spread.
I was lost in thoughts and forgot that I was hungry & had no bread.
A strange pleasure and happiness haunted me.
I found my hollow pride and self-ego so wee.
Flying in thoughts, amidst the sea.
Soaring towards the endless sky.
Like a birdie flying high.
Higher and higher until I reach the sky.
Suddenly the boat thinned,and in just a blink,
everything vanished over there
and brought me back to the dark world here.

Sweet Memories Of Childhood
========================================
The sweet memories of past,
I wonder till when will they last.
The teddy bear, the small chair of wood.
Oh! How can I forget my childhood.
When the darkness of night takes the light astray,
In my heart of hearts, to god I pray.
To take me back in my sweet memories of past,
Which long and long will last.
When the breeze flirts with the flowers,
Yellow, blue and red all dancing sprightly in the showers.
I recall my past and go back in my childhood.
Innocent, carefree a lass so good.
When the lovely buds bloom into bright flowers,
In the cover of night, in the blanket of dew,
An elegant, lovely flower so new.
Admiring the view, I shut my eyes,
In the sea of darkness, I realize,
My childhood is left, far.. far behind.
I feel my childhood, a blur in my mind.

The butterfly
=============================
Lovely butterfly , flying among flowers
Sucking nectar happily and playing for hours.
Elegant , graceful and carefree,
The butterfly caught fancy of me,
Just then ,
It caught fancy of some children,
Playing beside the trees, in the dark,
They never left until it was quite dark.
A tragic plan was soon made,
and they all hid nearby a shade.
They caught the butterfly, strugging to get free,
Unfortunate, scared, a creature so wee.
They then plucked its delicate wings
and tied the poor creature with a string.
And stamped it twice, quite ruthlessly,
Oh poor butterfly, a creature so wee.
Death came as a welcome release,
for the butterfly under seize.
This was the sad end of the lovely butterfly, flying among flowers
Up and up it went,higher than towers.
====Poem 4====================
My beloved country
==============================
Enwreathe the streets with roses of unity,
Come lets make our country a symbol of peace and integrity.
Let the shining star of progress , guide our footsteps
May there be no child labor in this sacred land of Rama-Krishna and all five year olds go to prep.
Allow the golden rays of literacy to light , all the slums and all the villages very bright .
May the pure stream of faith and reason wash away the fear and superstition and take us to new height.
Extend the dignity of life, respect, safety and education to all the women of the land
May there be no female infanticide and women-the incarnation of Goddess Durga and Saraswati are precious , may everyone understand.
Invite the liberty as that of the birds, who soar in the endless sky
May there be no bonded labour, no weeping widows nor should a hungry child cry.
Rouse the feeling of love , kindness,hope and faith in each heart
Elliminate all racism, bitterness, misery and sourness of the world.

Warm Sunny Love
==================================
As we settle down on the verandah,
in the cozy aroma of the warm sun.
Looking at our children play gleefully,
we have tea and bun.
I look at you my lover, my honey and you look at me with so much love and warmth ,
that my heart melts and it feels so sunny.
I go to pick cabbages and peas from my kitchen garden and put fresh flowers in the vase.
I feel encircled with the soulfulness of your everlasting embrace.
You lovingly bring me a bunch of my favorite blue lilies and say "a gift for you my precious one" .
Lord Krishna gifted sacred lotus to Radha and Romeo brought rich red roses for Juliet ,
for these are the mystique sweet simple things lovers do since love begun.
We sit for dinner,making our kids eat soup , salad, vegetables and rice.
You look in mock anger when they say "vegetables" after all is not so nice.
An interesting tale!!!! is what we want, they scream.
Well that'll make "wizard of oz" for the thousandth time you beam.
We say our prayers and lullaby them to sleep.
I feel our love so pure,so true and so deep.
