The Season of Love
The trees are decorated with fresh green leaves,
Winter flowers are enjoying their heyday!
The rosary is full of enchanting varieties;
The sky blue azure is shining bright,and
Flecks of silver clouds are lying leisurely;
The aroma of sweet love is wafting over
The cool summer breeze singing in dulcet tones;
I keep on thinking of you, my beloved,
In this season of unending love;
Your astounding beauty and charm so rare,
Have captivated me,nay,my wholeself;
I yearn for taking you into my deep embrace,
And plant kisses on your luscious lips,
Obliterating the traces of time eternal,
And hold you tight looking face to face!
How much I wish you be so near,
I pray to God for this gift sublime;
I promise to hold your hand forever,
Would you prefer to be my loving valentine?

He and She
Both men and women are domicile of this World,
Though prominence is given to only menfolk;
Being physically strong and basically outgoing,
They are considered more aware and bold;
But time has changed drastically from the past,
The progress of women is exponentially high;
They are educated, aware and intelligent too,
And proving equal to men in every tie;
The world is witnessing their progress with awe,
But old mindset of many men is unchanged
Still; women are suffering at their hands,
Such black sheeps are not feeling bit ashamed;
Women have got political rights, and economically
They are becoming strong; but they are not
Getting equal pay for equal work still,
They are looked down upon as weaker lot!
Women are flying the fighter planes and joining
The Army as a combatant; they are adorning
The civil services and successfully handling
every post;
Now, this is the time to recognize the
Women power, belatedly though, at any cost.
