She Moves In Mysterious Ways...

A poem I wrote in college days, admiring coastal Karnataka weather. I love South India, it is way too beautiful...
____

"Mother Nature"

The orange glow of the evening sky
teases my senses

The trees dance with the wind
like the swaying hips of a graceful woman

I take a walk
and sit outside the 9th block

And watch
mother nature's alluring moves

Sometimes ferocious, sometimes tender...

Suddenly there is powerful thunder

And mother nature's gentle meanders

turn fast, furious, fierce, feisty...

I get mesmerised by her beauty

and wish

that the moment freezes eternally..

Hey Jodi,

Thanks for all your compliments, you are very kind.

I have written about 50 odd poems, most of them got lost over the years, I wasn't careful....trying to remember them. I note them down as they come to me.

Sometimes I do wish I never wrote poetry. There is (usually) a lot of pain involved in writing a good poem.

'A poet needs pain'...like Bon Jovi sings.

That's a very heavy price to pay for just a bunch of words on paper.
