Poetry by Purvez

Here are some poems. Daylight Dream In a rockgarden on a simmering hot day Evaporating dew drops on the lilac petals and nectar from the jasmine offered to a roaming bumble bee. It feastsand goes- And forgets the treat. The lingering sweetness stays with me close to my heart. I hope the crystal-clear thoughtbrightens a dark, gloomy soul Sometime, Somewhere. Purple Horizons Crickets, beatles and wasps a composition in my backyard nature- flowing through creeping smoothly under the skin and slowly tickling the heart everything else seems irrelevant for those tranquil moments you hold the nature in your palm And the nature gently sings you the lullaby and smoothens out the creases on your soul.
