Silent Valley

Cleavage of green hills
Wearing a lake pendant,
Unpolluted she lies, hidden,
Guarded, by thick forests
From prying eyes of greed.

Wild sunflowers dance on her
Cheeks, yellow miniatures
Paying silent obeisance to that
Distant sustainer of life; time
Stops still to suck in her charm!

Drenched in showers, my valley
Pregnant with nature’s beauty
Nestles in the arms of her lover,
Silent as a woman, content with
Love making!

Motherless World

That night, when face to face
With a terrible reality
I wanted to cry out
Say that it was unfair,
That I needed you
A little longer
To hold my hands for me.

Then I saw fate
Standing in the dark recess
Of the hospital corridor
With a silent smile on his face,
I squeezed back the tears
And took the first step forward
To meet him in a motherless world!
