Fervent pleas unheard,
forecast thunders clear skies, 
farmer sheds dry tears.

Farmer sheds dry tears,
drought, deluge pile misery;
mounting debts to clear.

Content.


Eyes closed and neck craned;
drinking to its heart's content-
doe suckles her fawn.

drinking to their hearts' content-
merry mosquitoes.

Glances turn to gaze,
drinking to their hearts' content-
eyes thirsting for love.

trapped by illusions, man craves-
flights of fantasy.

Tryst


Her curls kiss his cheek
eyes closed, lost in reverie;
tryst under starlight.

Tryst under starlight,
 moonflower smiles like shy bride
as night closes in.

Golden gravel

Bouncing up and down,
through sea of golden gravel,
ship of desert sails.

Winds of change at work,
never-ending draft of life,
puff of golden dust.

Levelled.

His eyes steal glances,
she silently steals his heart,
love strikes a balance.

aim higher, even better than best,
time to raise the bar.

Heartbeat!!


Young heart delirious, 
swoons at wild beats of city,
shrouded sanity.
******************************
Young heart delirious,
cavorts to ecstatic lilts,
illusory love.

Paeans of amour,
serenading eyes echo;
two hearts beat as one.

One creative spark
ignites diverse train of thoughts;
haiku heartbeats throb.
