POEM 1: I Wish To Worship
Now these gates have opened
Let's visit the place frequently
Otherwise it will be a rose garden
Where the bees buzz so rarely.

It's the magnificient temple
Architectured by the Great One
Let's not be shy anymore
Dear, please don't shun.

I desire very frequently
To go on the pilgrimage,
But unable to do it alone
I need you my adorable sage.

O fair god! let me melt
To meet you completely;
I wish to worship you
Now, always and eternally.







POEM 2 FOR THE MONTH: The Bird On My Fence
Why do you so often
Sit on my yard's fence
And hop all around
Attracting me intensely

With those piercing eyes
Flapping velvety feathers?
As I consider being invited
And proceed to gather

Whatever courage is left
You fly away in an instant
All alone leaving me
Alas! for so long days

When you come back dear
Filling me with content
Again with your presence
All over, the bird on my fence.








POEM 3 FOR THE MONTH: Love
It is divine to love and be in love
But don't expect only pleasure in love

As the humming bugs fall madly in love
With a candle light, they die in love

The buzzing bees sip the nectar in love
Forgetting petals closure they die in love

Gopis fell with the child Krishna in love
Suffered in separation of Him in love

God, they say, fell with humanity in love
And had to sacrifice His Son in love

So don't despair if sorrow comes in love
Who in the world wasn't pained in love?
