Where does the sky,
together with stars that
adorn her fabric, dip into the sea?
Is it at the horizon, where
stars shine in the wave-less waters?

Why do we travel
so many hours, to sit by
the same sea that washes the shores
of our city? Is it because
stars choose to bathe in the sea here?

Where do these clouds
go - mother cloud, father
cloud and so many adorable puppy
clouds - where do they
scramble on to, across familiar shores?
Do you know?

Verse in collaboration with Prabhu: http://hellopoetry.com/-prabhu-iyer/
Dripping rain...
Splash!
Croak croak...
The frogs!
Buzz
Assorted insects;
Wind gush -
Trees sway, but
Not the banyan...
Screech!
Monkeys again;
Splash!
Dripping rain...
Streets gone
empty, sky too
Where are the stars?
Hiding behind
monsoon clouds
of course!
We stay in a forested area, one of the last of its kind in this part of southern India! These are my thoughts on my first monsoon here. (Monsoon arrives later than the rest of India here)
crimson thoughts
turn themselves inside out
like clothes in the wash

i think about
the long days alone
do i wash these thoughts
like colors together
on delicate

i fear the rip and tear
of loneliness’s unremitting two step
a dance of color
of red

and i ask myself
how did crimson take hold
as the angels dance
and i bob

turned inside out

You are a darling

sis I could ever have or wish for
I am glad you're mine

dearest sisters and friends

forever you are mine
forever on us the sun and moon shall shine
you're mine forever
I love you so VERY much

and I cannot help but show it
and I always hope you know it

Jesus loves you, dearest sis EVER

my sis you are the greatest sis I could ever ask for
I hope you always know it
together we do things
and spend time with each other
at least I would if you were here
we'd pick flowers
and drink in their sweet perfume
we'd walk through the woods and feel the cool breezes
and I'll never trade you for a million sisters or brothers because you are my
sis and nothing will ever change that
I love you because you are my sweetest dearest sis!!

I love you forever!!

I love you, sweetheart!
so this neutron walks
into the local convenience store
and grabs 3 cans of beer
and says to the girl at the counter;
“So how much do I owe you?”
The girl smiles:
*“For you, no charge”

NOTE from wiktionary:
NEUTRON (physics) A subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and having no charge; it is a combination of an up quark and two down quarks
Red, orange, yellow
Green, blue, indigo, violet
Fair reflecting arch
Against a dark and brooding sky
Bouncing back the sun's bright light
Look upon that arc within the storm and know the sun is at your back...turn around and all will be bright
