Within her: The Cocoon

Introvert words sealed within,
Wrapped in the cocoon of a thousand thoughts!
She smiled bold, brighter than the shine,
Who knew what was lost!
The freaks, they called themselves a society!
Knew nothing, but to judge!
Yet she valiantly broke those walls!
To sigh and to hush!
For those who harked her inner beings!
Yelled 'that mulier sans happiness'
And forgot that her wings'll evolve!

The Nilgiris

The blue of mystery and tempts! 
She…
Smiled coyly-
The fume floated gently over her,
From the hearth of that hut…
Cascaded over the mountains-
The blue of mystery and tempts!
No less than a damsel…
Embellished with Anogeissus’s leaves,
And the wild lilacs,
The trails where no humans walked!
Innervated her skin…
Her voice- 
The wind over the tree!
The orchestra of chirps!
The splash of springs!
The roars of beasts…
The blue of mystery and tempts!
No less than a symphony…
Every dawn, she wakes up!
Her beauty as rural as it can be!
Behold her, when she is drenched-
The drops from Heaven!
Intoxicated many stories and rhymes-
The poet’s wonder!
…she never fails!
To spread her charms...
As the wind whispers through her.
How earthly she can be!
Oh, the Nilgiris…
