Insomnia’s Heaven

 As the night blankets the world,

and stars sing a lullaby,

insomnia’s heaven rises just right.

 The world is quiet,

its silence- an elixir,

for the hungry spirits,

lost in the day - light.

 Night’s stillness,

a refuge,

for the countless thoughts,

scattered away like pearls,

night sews them into the sky’s veil,

and lets them fly to infinite heights,

where,

insomnia’s heaven rises just right.

Early Morning World

The early morning world,

a smooth, round pearl,

curled up in an oyster,

emanating a lively lustre.

 

Enclosed within the core,

holy prayers, hopes, aspirations,

a few remnants of yore,

wanting to unfurl,

a smooth, round pearl.

 

Sitting quietly,

in the vast worldly ocean,

engrossed in meditation,

the early morning world,

a smooth, round pearl.

My Home

Warm sunny sky

mist flying by

flowers kissing bees

gently flowing breeze

leaves dripping dew

my heart yearns for you

 

Chilly brisk weather

purple Scotch heather

precipitating snowflakes

tranquil fresh lake

nature’s aesthetic art

profess, my home, is your heart

Magical Night

We lie under the stars

hand in hand

averring

the test of time

our love can withstand

 

we met through many journeys

from one lifetime to another

our love ever strong every time

 

holding each other’s hands

we tread the cosmic path

turning into starlight

brightening the night sky

and now, among the stars we shine

The Evolution of Life

 Dive deep into the oceans or

Immerse in the beauty of mountains

Viruses, bacteria, all the fauna and flora

Enchant the ecosystem flowing in life’s fountain,

Rising up or down by mutational aura

Singing along the way, many adaptations these life forms attain

Inhabiting the perfect surroundings,

Towards a successful generation

Yodelling through the time, evolving to higher life forms

The poem depicts the various forms of life i.e microbes, viruses etc... found on the planet earth. The life forms have evolved through millions of years by different mechanisms like genetic mutations. Genes are the basic unit of inheritance consisting of DNA. Mutations lead to alterations in DNA sequences thereby altering the genetic makeup of an organism. The changes introduced by mutations are the main cause of diversity. Further, the interactions between mutations and environment play their roles.

Rhyming Within My Heartbeats

 Rhyming within my heartbeats,

is your love-song,

that I hum every night,

and float into a world,

where,

to each other we belong.

 I am, not me,

my heart and soul devoted to you,

surrendering all desires,

with a faith,

to be,

eternally yours.
