indoor flower plants
hug embrace and kiss
each other
to exchange
warmth in winter strips.
------------------------------------
not to hurt
 the serene heart
i speak no words.
 silence  still
embraces me
 for longer stints.
slowly
 catching cold
my eyes and ears
hearing  the wake up songs
of winter streams.

show cased
the salient stakes
of first  snow fall
verywell preserved
in  nature's
treasury vaults
adoring the trees
in naked pleasures.
so soothing
the smiles of a friend
beholding
very many priceless gifts
silver clouds
slowly turning to
 golden crowds
an amazing eye feast
and intriguing
but a  sumptuous treat
The soul divine.
===============
waiting for you
since long
i find none
exceptyou in the deep woods.
the birdsongs tried to locate you.
the waning moon searches for you though invain.
let all these dark stripes wash away
in the onset of dawn hours.
i wait for you at the main entrance.
i am sure to capture you
well before you take anotherturn
to mesmerise me unfolding al the
memories tillnow captivated in the treasure
of my soul divine.
=============================
under the green tree
the leaves  bid farewel
to the summer strokes
and delve in deeper thoughts
on the wings of winter streams.

Where ever you are
i wait for your turn
to make a wish
to run for me
and me alone!

a large avenue of trees
invites us both
to converse
 on love matters
in strict confidence..
descending down like an angel from far above skyspace,
The snowcoverings on the widely spread hill slope
appears exactly like a diovine angel ,a personified beauty
from heavens.

it is also like a preadsheet covered on the carpet of the floor
to accommodate the visiting women for a kitty party .
or came down for cordialdiscussions
about improvements to be made by individuals.
.
for enhancing the joy and delight of their family lives.
A nd it also looks like kashmiri,creamy white  shawl brought
 for honouring an elite and enlightened scholar
for preaching the importance of leading a moral and integrity born life.
to quench the thirsty throat
 thinking of drinking sea water
 0nly   worsens the thought.
Dressing down
to show up
for a twilight show
sun departed slowly
with no signs of despairat all.
to dress  up
in  a bright attire
for the light of early dawn
the sun came down
in joy and delight.

failing at every attempt
kneeling down at every point
i pray the almighty
to save me and my stars
from descending down
from the blinking arena.
to this sheen less and weaning world.

Purushothama Rao is bereaved

Mr. R. Purushothama Rao, an old timer on Muse India, lost his dear wife on Aug 12, 2013. Following a cardiac arrest she breathed her last at 3.20 pm yesterday. It is very shocking and tragic.

Just a couple of months back we had visited Mr. Rao's home in Guntur during the Guntur Poetry Festival, and had enjoyed the delicious lunch prepared by her. Thereafter Mr. Rao was in Hyderabad in connection of his book launch. There I met their handsome son, Shreekanta.

Years of contact while editing and posting Rao's poems on Your Space I developed a rare relationship with the family. I had attended a few family weddings, too. Mrs. Rao happens to be the sister of Prof. T. Chandra Mouli, a reputed writer and a contributor to Muse India.

I am creastfallen and feel as if I have lost a sister by her death. We deeply mourn her sad demise and share sorrow with Mr. Purushothama Rao and Professor Chandra Mouli. We pray her soul to rest in peace.



We can’t guess
his religious affinity or identity
but all through the week
he exhibits his talent in one religion or the other
His art emporium is the foot path itself
and he exhibits chalk portraits of variety of GODs
depending on the day ,it relates
Mon , Tues,  wed and Thursday
He portrays Siva,Hanuman, Ayyappa and Saibaba respectively
and unfailingly on Saturday ,he paints  the lord of seven hills
Friday his paintings  appear at masjid or mosque
And definitely on Sunday he portrays Christ or mother Mary

All his hard work is unperturbed ,unhindered and undisturbed
Except by the rain GOD HIMSELF,  in his own explicit ways

He by person  somehow, is not available at the artistic site
But coins gifted by the onlookers only have their interface with us
He will not beg alms from any body
But the  people who gift coins,
 pray for some benefit  or the other as a boon
 from the portrayed Almightiest
they undoubtedly are the real beggars
 that crave for bountifuls

but not the colourful painter at all.

my elder daughter
defaced

[My  daughter died of excessive dose of anesthesia at her 6 years of age. good at grasping and melodious in singing. in memory of her after 23 years of despair --]
Origin of rainbow
Why so many colours?
to paint the delight in you
White will be right one !!!
but prayers can-------------
Neither tablets,
nor capsules
gulped, save you
from the sickness
But be sure!!!
Prayers  always can
To perspire
Between cup and lip
make sure
no slip of your tongue occurs
please!!!
till the goal you win--------
a path to win

Moving around as a fresher
in precincts of the college campus
I saw butterflies buzzing around
in sweet smiles and warm looks
hugging the text books  in close proximity
to their lovable and caring hearts.
The flowering plants scent fragrance in waves
delighting my nostrils in and out
the  about to rain clouds
hover around in the sky
and inundate my soul time and again
I feel my entry is discovering there after a path to win
Spring on wings
 Having undergone the drudgery
of freezing winter storms
and patiently bearing the nudity
of trees, in autumn strokes,
with all cordiality, the onset of spring
enthuses us with all new vigor and fresh vitality.
So let us start, to make our daily flights
in colorful and delightful environs
duly welcoming cordially, the spring on wings


But a way of life
 My culture is predominantly, different one from all others, now in existence
It envisages us strictly to be righteous in all our deeds
and expects us to be more humane in approaching the other world.
It never appreciates, if we are at a bashing pace on others' ideals.
Extreme patience, Prudence and of utmost confidence in inner self
are what all we have to exude confidence
in all our traits in the contemporary society.
Your anger is your first enemy and your peaceful stances
win laurels from all over the world and forever, saves you.
Don't do any harm to truth speaking creed, and encourage them to follow suit.
our scriptures time and again, stress on these valued principles
and always guide as a true friend, and avowed philosopher.
Hinduism, according to our sages and ancestors, 
is not a religion at all but a way of life
------------------------
Portraying identity
The flowers,  grown in our garden.
are blooming with scented fragrance.
The stream passing close by my home
is flowing with crystal clear clean water.
The koel perched on the mango tree
is rendering melodious tunes. to the feast of  our ears.
Everything is in order in its movement.
But where is my mother who gave birth to me?
she entered the GOD's abode when i was a sheer child.
Only her fading memory stalls in my brain's treasure.
Surprisingly, there were no photos available in the album
to imagine, of course, her portraying identity
Be a connoisseur

When you can't sing a song
you must wish to possess musical ears
to delightfully enjoy the treat.
When you yourself can't excel in any of the streams
you must have the true quality of appreciating others' capability .
When you desire not to pray the Almighty for your own welfare
you must have the broadened heart to pray meaningfully for others'..
put your heart and soul so widened to make you step into
an universal gallery where your caliber and capacity win a praise.
Bonding together


Love can't be tagged like all other miscellaneous things
nor exhibited similar to an art piece or hung lifelessly on wall.

It should sing tunes melodiously to flow, enchanting  from one heart to the other.

with added vigor and vitality it should energize nerves in no time
and allow the soul to sail and if need to sink in day dreams.

Love is a powerful medium
to explicitly air words sprung from the innocent soul
to soar unto the sky space and fly high like a romantic flag.

love is not a man made cuisine, but a gift from GOD  to this humanity at large
to keep all of them, bonding together in extreme love and explicit doses of affection
-----------------------------------
At large, by majority.


The koel perched on mango tree
declined to sing any melodious tune
but started singing a pathos instead.

The peacock in the park
desisted from fanning its tail
and refused to dance on the floor
but decided to reel back to forest.

All the flowers whether fragrant or not
kept away from blooming
retaining its buds stance  as it is.

The stream, without any nod for incessant flows
wears a deserted look with sunken water levels.
Why all this odds now happening in present days' trends?
all poets of different genre refused to recite poems
hiding the facts about actual happenings in this world.

All the paraphernalia of nature decided not to entertain any human race,
as it is running amok, in a critical pace,
on an indecent and objectionable phase.

The coveted womanhood is being taken lightly for a song, 
and its modesty is being put to outrages
in many ways in many cities, towns and in small  habitats too
without any obedience to law of the land
and society's continued complacency
in questioning those indecency resorted to at large by majority.
Beautiful and charming
Liking one ,is beautiful
and loving the same one, is charming
This passion need not be confined
to two young ones or the adults.
It may be the flow, towards mother
who daily works  like a machine
to keep the clock of family
to run on smooth lines.
or may extend the same affection  towards father
who as an index finger of the family
sets right the family train to move
on the righteous path excelling themselves
in all fields, where ever  , their hands lay on

On the land of humans

 A human born as human is not behaving alike.
He desires to have mastery over all the living kingdom
For his luxurious living style, in the name of widening of high ways
had deforested and all the age old trees
and all these trees having lost their trunks
are lying scattered on the land of humans
as fallen heroes, in the world of undesirable wars.
All the water flowing lakes have got industrial pollutants into them
and the potable water, hither to drawn from very large resources
is being scuttled down and now drawn for use in bottles and big cans.
The seasons with a grudge on mankind as a whole,
have taken odd routes and troubling the whole mankind
with no pre- drawn schedules and skipping the time of arrivals.
The entire globe is now burning like hot furnace waving hot waves.
Human! can you now boast of your own making for this disastrous fall ?
--------------­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dynamic stance
 Waves weave making journeys, of course, collectively
Once in a while, one wave rolls down on other one.
But the goal of the entire waves
is only to reach and grab the shore  into their hands.
After fulfilling this sole aim,
the mode of all waves don’t look alike.
Some waves after crossing over the shore
jumps and streaks, straight into the lower depths of the soil.
Some desire to return back to their native lands

But here is that much talked about, native place?
Unable to clearly know of its origin, waves get confused.

The waves only march ahead but won’t trace back, at any time.
To reel back is not their natural instinct.
Marching ahead forever and not looking backwards, is the trait of the waves.
Moving in close proximity to the grabbed shore
and till the point of sinking into the soil, wave possess a vital character
This vitality is to be the guiding force needed to the humans also.

Spells of wisdom
 Who said the nature is not charming at all?
Who uttered that God's creation is no enterprising?
Seasons speak spells of wisdom and quivers of knowledge
and the revelry of colors catches the eyes in ecstasy
look at the sky at sunset and sunrise
you will never say   that the nature is not charming!!
and His creation is not  enterprising!!!

Flowers of humanity
 When snow start falling
it looks so pure and crystal clear
as your passion towards me,

When my thoughts on you
start to opening new foliage,
I feel as if my love and affection
begin to raise hopes in your soul

The fragrance of lovely flowers 
attracts the attention of all around

Let our love stand on this earth as an unforgettable legend
and continue to spread flowers of humanity to bloom...
BE IT A FLOWER
 When i pluck one, from the plant
the other flowers surely, develop a grouse against me
for separating one from them .
If i keep a hay stuffed  scare object
before the milch cattle ,
it will stare at me seriously at once,
for keeping afar,  her kith from its udder.
Then how can  I  kill a person having  heard
best quotes from texts lines of  holy scriptures.?
At the best i try to kill your [bad] habit of viewing horror movies
till late in the night eventually disturbing your tranquility of mind.
by diverting your attention towards aesthetic ones
which will not only keep you on right path but also
enhance your perseverance in totality.
Wedrock
Earlier he propelled praises on her in tonnes
with aim of winning her heart, squarely atonce
finally the match is fixed up, to end in a wedlock
by the time of the first anniversary, it hit a bold rock
Now each one is mad for their abuse hurling stance

------------------------------------



Terrific and daring stance
The woman with lots of patience and courage
can dare to encounter any cruelty, she comes across
in daily chores of her life.
After going many ordeals with men folk
She now learns all possible tricks and sports
to face any type of emergency. she comes across
she is now carrying pepper spray and packet of chili powder
with her in the vanity bag she holds on. to shoulders .
God has given her needed stamina
to co habitat and co exist even with cruel tigers
smiling all the way, throughout her stay with terrific and daring stance.
On this altar of humanity
 Forever lord ! i am yours in totality
i love your quotes on love
and admire your prophesies on life
What all we earn on this earth in monetary terms
will not stay long with us on permanent basis
The name and fame we earn and the purity of heart
we hold on will stay with us for longer tints,
we are witnessing bomb blasts in all cities
where innocent kids and tiny tots are subjected to humiliation
and all young hearts who are aspiring for vocation.
were soaked in bloodshed losing their precious lives
Which religion professes massacre and terror stricken life?
Be human and behave like humans
it is a shame not to behave like humans
love the hearts of others and respond cordially to their heart beats
mind that love repeat love alone can win the hearts,
loving life should not fail on this altar of humanity.
Bless us with all divinity to run through our nerves
to lead a peaceful life on this pious earth planet
