The lonesome heart pines
lost in the barren landscape
stoic demeanor
Scorching cloudless sky
survives the parched desert heat
resilient soul
Spiked outer armor
smiles through the blistered needles
a vibrant blossom

Scarlet Rage!
Every summer, the mercury rises a couple of notches higher. Life on the planet sizzles under its sweltering heat. The sun shines on with gusto, exhaling a blazing inferno. By evening, the crimson golden lava from its scorching gaze, intertwines with the blue horizon, blanketing it under a fiery glare. It bleeds red hot ire.
hot summer evening
splash of feral livid trail
a marmalade sky
Fiery Heat!
Fiery heat casts a spell
on the dreary summer noon
green grass withers a tan,
the branches stand still,
water bodies parched to death,
birds scurry to quench their thirst,
the cicada’s trill, echoes anguish
nature lies defeated,
devoid of life
insipid, motionless
burning under the raging sun!
Summer
Mercury rising, blazing sun,
scorching heat, sticky clothes
sweat streaming down the brow,
withering trees, parched lakes
silent winds, famished birds
people all indoors!
Pool, ice-creams, juices
all just a temporary respite.
The forlorn eyes scanning the sky
in vain to look for the dark clouds
Oh, rains where are you hiding?
Bless my land with your touch and
quench the thirsty souls with your nectar!
