Lovely Rains

Lovely is the weather today -

across the sky is the lightning
looks like streak of diamond
and beautiful grey clouds I see

forming a blanket around the sky
slightly heavier than drizzle
is the shower of rains,
gently blowing is the breeze
directing the rain water
as sprinkles on my face
nice, cool and happy I do feel.

savouring coffee

With a cup of steaming hot coffee

To admire nature I sit in my balcony

I look yonder and savour the sight

of the lake under a dim light.

The smooth flowing breeze

causing ripples on the water

and the reflection of lights swaying.

I close my eyes and feel the zephyr.

The row of hutments opposite my home

buzzes with activity at the crack of dawn

trying to outdo each other are these people

with rangolis adorning their entrance.

And far off I hear the birds chirp

here and there the roosters crowing.

Behold the sun showering its beautiful ray

welcoming the dawn of a beautiful day

I enjoy my morning cup of coffee
