The Golden Sun
Deify me, I illuminate your world.
I shine like your luminous guardian angel.
In the cosmos, I am your adored archangel.
I awake to brighten a lackluster morning.
I always your routine activities herald.
I glitter for the flora to have their fill,
so do I for men to energize their mill.
Of the ocean currents I keep on warning.
I make the flora lush for medicine and food.
I awake for the globe's universal good,
and sleep at even with a sated crimson smile.
I pave the way for the silver and dew for a while.
The globe's life would cease without my needful presence.
Of the firmament I am the very essence.

The Birds of November
Time has run through
golden fields of hay
and swam the moss-covered
ponds in the soft amber
light of dawn.
There are shards of
beauty in the
rubble of a broken life.
Those summer days
crawled
like
a
grumpy
tortoise.
Then galloped on by, like
a bareback colt.
I fed on the breast of life,
grew strong, and free.
And now,
those November birds
are
coming for me.

Fair Peacock
Flamboyantly clad,
feathers arranged in an astonishing
array of colours.
Distinctively seen,
brightest of all,
and uniquely adorned for a century's
wedlock in a bird's haven.
That is I, the Peacock.
The angel with elegance
that you crave for.
An epitome of standards coveted by
models fair.
Endowed by nature with neither mascara nor lipstick.
But having elusive features that pageants in a lifetime ache for.
