The beauty of trees

Poem Dated: 7.1.93

Tall trees swaying in the breeze
How beautiful they look,
Looking at them, old mountain says,
"All the beauty they took"

The green leaves of the trees
Whose rustle when we hear
From our mind disappears,
Restlessness and fear

The colourful flowers of the trees
With their fragrance sweet
Reds,Blues,Yellows, Pinks
Oh, they look so neat

The delicious fruits of the trees
Oh! My mouths starting to water
A nice fruit juice would be a relief
When the sun starts getting hotter

So you see trees are
Not as simple as they seem
I read this poem to one of them
With pleasure it started to beam.

What is Life?

Poem Dated: 29.5.91

And what is this life?
That people talk about
Sometimes they tell me
But I still have a doubt

Is life a fruit to eat
Or is it a flower to smell
Oh what is this life?
Its so hard to tell

Than I hear a voice that says
Life is not a flower to smell
Nor is it a fruit to eat
You can't buy life or sell

Life is a very complicated thing
Which has its ups and downs
Which may sometimes make you smile
But sometimes give you frowns

Some people find it dull
But some have a very high hope
In reality life is like
Climbing a steep slope

At the bottom its easy
And you're eager to climb more
But as you go up it becomes harder
Making you tired and sore

Some people give up easily
But some climb up all the way
And they're the ones who succeed
On one glorious day

So my friends just an advice
Don't let the ups and downs of life stop you
Work hard to reach your goal
Then you can rest all you want to.

My First Love

Poem not dated, but probably written in 1996-97

He was tall, he was dark
And yes, he was handsome
It was love at first sight for me
I could not take my eyes off him

Into his soulful innocent eyes
I could stare all day long
As I saw him each day
My heart would sing a song

The toughest part was yet to come
For I had to convince mum and dad,
I begged and I pleaded and I cried
Used up all the tears I had

Finally they yielded
When they saw I loved him truly
I was overjoyed and thrilled
At last my dream would come true

And the big day came
I could feel the thrill within me
I was the first time in my life,
That I would be having my own - "PET DOGGIE" !!

Grown ups

Poem Dated: 7.11.92

Grown ups! Oh Grown ups!
When will they learn
They're always so angry
Mean and stern

They always tell us to study
And never let us play
While they go for big parties
At home we have to stay

Grown ups! Oh Grown ups!
Why did God make them
Just to ill treat us
As much as they can?

In the exams even if
We get full marks
They will never let us
To play in the parks

Oh God, these grown ups
They're such a bore
Always telling us to study
More and more and .... MORE!!
