POEM ON MY LITTLE SISTER

Poem on my little sister

Sisters love, sisters care
Their encouraging makes us strong
A sister like you is wonderful gift

You are a part of me forever
Having a sister like you is a friend who you cannot let go

A sister is there when ever life is low
There’s a special type of freedom which sisters enjoy when they are together

It’s peaceful to have you near me
I may be angry sometimes but still I love you
We play together, we laugh together and we spend time together which shows

our love.
I love you my dear sister.

THE SMELL OF RAIN

Here comes the rain,
The moments in a lane,
Lovely drops in the plain,
Soaking every sand grain.

The bleats of goats,
Little rain dots,
Wet me a lot,
Eating food hot.

The clouds going away
And keeping sun at its bay,
Smell of rain,
Drizzle more again.

The Silent Psyche

The echoes of silence from the steeple,
falling sharply to the heart of Nature.
Woods's radix which strive to strike the gravel-
when they felt the wetness of grief
No Soprano's to steep the minds.

Sober thoughts of men, melted in sighs without smile,
Women recounts the memoir with sobbing noise,
Children wag in plays not knew nothing.
The ruddy face of priest glared in candle light,
the quiescent Bell recalled the day of Sabbath.

No procession, but clustered crowd renowned the past,
the defunct in snowy raiment reminded the remnant repiques.
The soul that hidden in clouds peeped downwards...
Heard the words of praises wafting through the air,
and, which absorbed in, without any regret.

The tearful sands shouted as loud as they could:
"You are the man of today and never be again".
