Curves of your crystal brooks;
Biking through the less-traveled
Nerves of your shimmering hamlets;
Hiking on your enthusing knolls,
Sniffing the earthly aroma;
Encountering the fierce stare
Of the majestic lone bison;
Bliss of the whisperings creeks
Gracing your evergreen shola;
Relishing the luscious comb
Brimming with glittering honey;
Brushing off the lush green tress
Dangling of your pine trees;
Sprinkling of the delicate
Fragrant petals of your flowers;
Sinking in the orchestrated
Serenades of the rattling beetles;
Lying in trance between the
Cushy bosoms of your prairie;
These cherished memoirs of the past
Remain dissolved in my dreams.
Though we have abandoned each other,
The way I miss you In my sleepless nights,
Is the only proof to reassure that,
I love you always and forever.

Hi Shiva,
I can feel the nature near me as I read your poem :)
serene and cool.
When I read your poem it goes back to memories how we miss our nature and fresh air.
I imagine walking in a misty road covered with tall tress with a nice smell of eucalyptus and little rain drops which brings the beauty of the soil in fragrance.
Visiting few hill stations back home, is always fun and people do need to educate not to pollute.
Though we have abandoned each other-
I think we leave them for a reason, but those cherished moments bring back good things isn't it.
Awesome poem Shiva...
Kodaikanal is a very nice place.. one my favorite place :)
WOW! Shiva such a beautiful poem.It shows the love you have for this person.

You know last time the raam was put in suntv, that year we went to kodai, this year it was put in same month. When I told this to my mom, she catch my point what I am expecting. Can we go to kodai this year also? Who knows:)

"does Kodai still have the rustic beauty?" is question that I keep asking myself too. I don't think so. Have already been raped by the aliens. I can only weep for her.
It would have been even beautiful if Ruskin Bond had lived in Kodai:)
Yes. I am a native of Kodai. Just that we have abandoned each other and I no longer visit her. If reminded, I visit Munnar.
U r one lucky guy to enjoy this so...just do it :) dive in n enjoy
