A memorable night


On a spring eve,near a rippling cascade
my cottage lay low and sad.
Visions of the past blurred my eyes,
when i'd hide and my daughter would find.
Lying dreamy in my own swoon
suddenly i saw the dazzling white moon.
Memories of my honey sweet child began to bloom
her fond memories and the tender tune.
The green fields overflowed with harmony
my laziness jolted by the ceremony.
Which the deer and fawn delightfully celebrated
the mother with all affection her loved one treated
Soon the sky grey clouds bore
and the soft flakes began to moisten the core
On seeing this my daughter would ever bloom
now the deer and fawn ran into my room
Like a sweet hostess did i them treat
gave them some fresh grass to eat
The night went by with sounds so sweet
the fawn danced merrily about the deer's feet
On the misty morn as the kokilas hailed the day
the chirping of birds made me gay
I came out to see the plants gently sway 
for the deer and fawn no longer in my cottage lay
There i saw both of them play
under the shady branches on top of the hay
Eerie stillness of surroundings forever went away
And i knew my child's memories were here to stay

A girl's life

A contortion in the kindred’s smile
A baleful look, all exultation ebbed away
She’s not an anathema, she’s a gift fragile
Beseeched her matriarch with an elated smile.

She is pampered with florid tenderness
Swathed in her mother’s arms, she blossoms like a corsage
Her caprice unrestrained with filial caress
Her brother’s indemnity like an unblemished buttress.

With aplomb her father chooses an elite consort
In aphasia though, she consents to give her all
She embraces her kinfolk, pledges never to retort
The coddled damsel is to a new condominium brought.

She shuns indolence and faces the chagrin with candor
The callow bride humbly atones for her juvenile faults
She’s castigated but meekness is her greatest armor
Finally her assiduousness wins approbation, in laws become adulators.

Years pass, she mellows as life passes through thick n thin
Her consanguinity remain special but her mate is more than kith n kin
Then she’s blessed with an angel,
Her soul her reflection and her beloved’s brew
The epoch doesn’t end and the course continues…
She a mother and her daughter the new ingenue….
