Behold the first turn of the autumn leaf
From green to amber light,
From yellow to rusty veins;
Behold the game of life,
Like the autumn leaf
We have lived,
Gracefully, we detach,
Knowing life is a gift of God,
We take our leave,
Make way for new leaves

Good morning my dear friends
Thank you for viewing and reading .
Under the showering rain,
Shaken by the swells of the gale,
A sweet, pastel pink, begonia,
A petite, elusive begonia,
Beckons my heart in pain;
A flood of love carries me away,
Drifting me tenderly at bay.

Begonia is a short poem from my poetry book‘INK – Echo of life and love’. Published by the biggest publishing house ‘Éditions de L’Ocean Indien’ of Mauritius in 2019.
Sadly, that book is available for purchase solely on the local market. On the other hand and, happily I have a big audience in my birth country. I am loved by the beautiful people of Mauritius and my work is applauded by many.

Early morning dew
Condensing on single grass blade
Garden gleams with grace

Beyond scalding heat,
Drifting in the lush blueness,
A luscious cool moon;
Lying on the sandy beach,
Soft ripples caress my toes.

Happy reading my dear friends.
God only knows,
She saw your smile in the crescent of the moon,
She saw your tears sashaying her window screen,
Or was it raining on a full moon night;
God only knows,
She was madly in love with the idea of you,
The scent of henna on her beloved’s hand,
Breathed the perfume of rose in the desert sand;
God only knows,
How far this traveler had run around the globe,
She saw your footprints in a puddle of water,
She saw your fingers running in her tangled hair,
Or was it the rustling of the mimosa leaves;
God only knows,
She was intoxicated by the words falling from your lips,
She let you feast on her riches and her body,
She let you steal her soul,
She lost herself in you and she came to be you;
God only knows,
She heard her beseeching voice in the haboob,
Or was it the cry of a lamb in the arid dunes,
God only knows.

On flooded rice fields,
The rhythm of the falling rain,
An ode to monsoon;
Children splash in soiled puddle,
Green frogs musically croak.
Good morning and happy Monday,my dear friends!
Happy Reading.
