The other day by mistake
I strayed into a jungle of flowers,
wild flowers, that too,
except a few
hardly I could recognize any,
painted on the meadows in every hue
Daisy, the violets, water lilies,
forget-me-nots and many more.
Among a host of daffodils on the lakeside
a lonely Wordsworth I could find,
after a small sip an Omar Khayyam
I came across holding a rose
and there was a Kalidas in all anxiety
waiting for the rain clouds to deliver
a basketful of jui, jai, kadamba and malti
Not to be left behind
I picked up a jasmine,
shall I rename it
my sweet Valentine...!
