APART

R eyes may part,

R ways may part,

R visions may part,

R goals may part,

R togetherness may part,

R souls may part,

But all times apart,

I'll always have

R FRIENDSHIP at heart.

MY PLANTS

I hear the pitter-patter,
Beating against my plants.
The rain seems to pat them,
Pat its long lost friends.
Bringing joy to the on-lookers too.

It seems to lash softly for an hour,
Then its drained off its sources.
My plants now look lush green,
With tiny beady tear drops
On missing their wonderful friend.

"Worry not my little plants,
They'll be back in a day or so."
Then slowly the sun peeps,
Shyly from behind the clouds,
Spreading her warmth all around.

The tears  seem to sparkly on plants
And the cool breeze making them dance,
To shed the heaviness in their hearts,
Due to the lost friend.
Together they wipe the tears.

The tears are wiped and dried,
From the hearts of my plants,
As every true friend does
To bring back the joy and happiness
In my plants' brief sad times.

MY LOVE FOR HIM

My eyes seems to flutter
When I see U.

My heart seems to beat louder
When I sense U.

My tongue seems to be tied
When I hear U.

My presence seems to be lost to this world
When I dream U.

I seem to sense U a mile away,
By your ever radiant smile,
And by my love-stricken heart,

'Coz Cupid has aimed his arrow,
At me
And at U.

MY FIRST LOVE

When I cry,
I see him in my tears.
When I am happy,
I see him twinkle in my eyes.
When in distress,
I feel his caring hands on my shoulder.
When I am ill,
I feel him apply a soothing balm.
When I talk,
I feel he's the one talking for me.
I seem to think of nobody but him.
I feel his eyes on me always.
I know alas I'm in love,
Love with my own life;
For I have found him--
The one whom I can trust,
Care for and understand.
He will be my only love,
Now and Forever.

RIVER

The air around me is a chill,
With hardly any vegetation.
I begin my journey hereforth.
I start trickling inbetween rocks
Making the moss dance in tune.

I flow slowly down the icy mount
And hop into the deep green gorge.
I beat against the giant rocks
Escaping from their clutches
And continue my journey.

I flow thru' a beautiful county,
Where little children play happily,
Their feet and hands splash me around.
I sparkle like diamonds on the ground.
They bring me the very thrill.

I flow thru' a small farm,
Where horses and cows and ducks,
Drink me and play in me.
Where little fishes and pebbles make me colorful,
And I'm still not tired of my journey.

I flow across a religious city,
Where both the young and old,
Cleanse in me and wash their sins.
While I pay my rightful homage,
To my creator I'm grateful.

I ultimately meet in the sea,
Where all my siblings are.
Yet I continue to flow thru' my life,
Day in and day out,
For I'm on my eternal journey.
