A Seat!
A seat indeed but not to sit, It makes you grin but hold your grit! It might comfort you if you are fit, Beware of the dress getting entangled to split! Sikiladi
Baby!
The quizzed look on her face, Her emotions leave not a trace! A baby's trying to keep up the pace, With all that's taught to her with grace! Sikiladi
Books!
A ”booked” reception desk at a restaurant A world within your reach, Giving off a quiet preach! A world of knowledge in your hands, Journeying the mind to various errands! A world of print on paperbacks, Books provide fodder to the brain! Sikiladi
She Prays!
She prays in earnest for her tidings, For fate has gifted her new beginnings! She bows down to Almighty’s grace, Seeking blessings for life’s turnings! Sikiladi
Nature’s Trail (45) Floral Beauty
They mingled in friendliness, Almighty's creations! Blended hues of whiteness, merged well with orange ornateness, On a bed of leaves.... Some spiky, stingy.... And some broad flat in sturdiness The rest being tiny in meekness Sikiladi
Nature’s Trail (44)
Wrapped and hidden Pink edged velvety whites Waiting to explore The world within green delights Sikiladi
Nature’s Trail (43) Cereus
Cereus Flower Heavenly hues under the moon Keeps shut at daytime and noon The Flower comes to full bloom Just for a night, just for me Before I know it closes itself too soon Sikiladi
