towering grasses
shine under the morning sun
my thoughts shine with them


oo0oo


yielding gracefully
to the blowing of strong winds
the pliant bamboo

standing underneath
the white towering windmills
the sense of smallness


oo0oo


gasps of amazement
as the group reaches the shore
imposing windmills


oo0oo


beyond the windmills 
white clouds blanketing the sky
the soul rejoices

comfort in lonesome moments
plants in my garden

to each its own charm
colors so fresh and vibrant
my ornamentals

caressing branches and leaves
drama of colors

in the darkness of the night
a pleasant drive home

to comfort night travelers
sparkling highway lights

along the hillside
a canopied long stairway
to a small heaven

after the long climb
a rewarding view awaits
famed chocolate hills

the stillness of night
broken by exploding lights
fireworks in the air

like giant urchins
fireworks light up the night sky
a celebration

moment to capture
hovering over a leaf
a pink dragonfly

my morning delight
 dragonfly in the garden
dressed in girly pink

wishing on the moon
not a shooting star in sight
heart still finds solace


oo0oo


if not for the moon
peeping thru twigs and pale leaves
the sky...so gloomy

his hand holding hers
a ring into her finger
and the leaves rustle


oo0oo


the glow in her face
as her two eyes meet his own
marriage proposal

stopping on red light
a good chance to appreciate
towering bookshelves

catching a noon flight
heart beats faster than normal
usual traffic woes

seen from a distance
pretty ribbons converging
columns of tulips

a feast of colors
blending before my two eyes
tulips everywhere

cloud-covered mountains
smelling the scent in the air
fragrance of tulips

a blissful fragrance
floating through the open field
tulips in full bloom

raindrops on green leaves
sparkle not without the sun
a cloudy morning

morning evidence
of rain falling through the night
slippery walkways

five decades gone by
faces beaming with shy smiles
a sweet memory

decades-old photo
treasured moments of teen life
a sweet reminder

black against orange
a lovely fire in the sky
the sun just rising

vibrant sounds of birds
a deep orange horizon
prelude to morning

fresh from paradise
birds amidst silver and gold

lure me to buffet table
even after lunch

a serene morning
a more serene scenery
refuge of lost souls

mountain-framed water
snow white clouds on a blue sky
heart and mind at peace

the weight too heavy
small lemon branches bow down
humble submission

just a few weeks more
the taste of fresh lemonade
cooling down parched throats

a swinging hammock





heat of midday sun
striking the colored rooftops
a hammock swinging

sunny mid morning
a lady on a hammock 
her eyes on the sky

solace in trees





from the open field
to the canopy of trees
empty chair waiting

escaping the crowd
granny opts to find solace
trees for company

remembering yesterday





scene of rolling hills
a flashback to my childhood
coconut frond rides

a stretch of lush green
beyond the limit of sight
old dream remembered

unseeing eyes





hundred pairs of eyes
unseeing yet purposeful
freshens up the wall


oo0oo


their eyes meet my own
silent communication
and the soft wind blows

jogging along a river
with ducks on parade

swimming family of ducks
accents a river

glistening bermuda grass
kissed by the sun's rays

morning breeze blowing
smoke from fire across the street
dancing in the air

still early morning
petalled bowls wait for the sun
full radiant smiles soon

four demure ladies
wait for the love of their lives
golden sun to shine
