                      ELYSIAN FIELDS  Myriad moments of sentiments rush in Yesteryears seem like a long-forgotten dream Heartstrings are tugged when deja-vu overwhelms Evenings in solitude are full of nostalgic realms Azure, cloudless empyrean and the cotton candy clouds were made for you and me Incandescence of the pearly full moon has me in a trance Scintilla of the crescent , the heavenly smile makes me want to dance. Twilight ushers in amaranthine hues, to my tired eyes, it's a welcome treat Raindrops pattering are a steady rhythm to my heartbeat. ©️ Sangeetha Kamath Pic Courtesy:Image by kỳ phạm from Pixabay

                        VISTAS RUSTIC  Meandering through the infinitely verdant hills, valleys and dales Fringed with wildflower shrubs of hues bright and rare Is a road that leads from a bustling city  Into the heart of solitude and serenity  Stretching endlessly towards a cozy hearth and home Soaking many golden sun rays and silvery moonbeams under a starlit dome Giggling with mirth, we had with a bounce in our step, strode Played hopscotch to the beat of nursery rhyme jingles or the bicycles we untiringly rode Hot summery days and on cool wintry nights,  On these familiar paths, we knew every curve, turn and crossroads, alright! In the bleak and ashen night as I sit on these curbs Exploding in the heavens are a billion stars giving me eternal hope The road most travelled can't be erased from my soles, oh never! The weary always find their way back home, the calling is an echo loud and clear! With every s...

                                 AUBURN PARADE  In an orchestra and symphony of leaves fluttering,fireplaces crackling, hope flickering in the honeyed realms, I waltz into the enchanting horizons and jewel-toned wilderness Behold! Autumn limbers in with the grace of a soft serenade  As a triumphant season in an auburn parade In all her bridal finery of shimmering carnelian, carmine, coral and gold  She's a splendour of vibrant hues and glory untold  The October wind whispers her song,  Mellow lullabies straining and long  Heartbroken trees, stand tall and bare Shedding rainbow tears dissolving into the sable quilt of mulch ochre. Guitar-strumming with you around bonfires under starry skies With a banquet of plum wine, cranberry jams and spiced pumpkin pies  Fragrance of cinnamon, citrus and frankincense floats like a dream While we sip mulled apple cider or hot choco...

                 REVERIES OF SHANGRI-LA In a garden of bowers, fountains and wisteria arbors  A hopeless dreamer I was under an onyx sky of a million tiny twinkling stars Like a nymph under a melon moon glow, wearing an orchid wreath in my hair  Pirouetting in tulle gowns sequinned with hydrangea  My love songs were the rock and the jazz Twirling with you under jasper skies in a fluid waltz Amid rustling leaves and songs of nightingales and wrens Petals of Sakura danced in the fragrant glens Like the birds that sing and gently flowing streams  I cruised the wide world and the choppy seven seas Traveling by the starlight, you shone on my path On journeys through mazes and vexing labyrinth vast You're my map, my compass leading to home and hearth... A safehouse and my oasis in deserts scorched  A monarch and majesty of your love was the endless yearning, a distant reunion… As that of the sea and sky on the blurry horizo...
