WHERE HAS MY FLOWER GONE?

 WHERE HAS MY FLOWER GONE?

------ Harikrishna mamidi

#mhk_poetry

It's a garden

which I grow on the hillock

where sunrays touch the ground!

It's a garden of dreams

Grown on the bank of imagination

Where moonlight caresses the eye lids!

It's a garden of hopes

Grown on the shore of expectations

Where a rainbow pecks on the cheeks!

It's a garden of joy

Grown on the horizon of fantasy

Where a glowy cloud kisses the lips!

It's a garden of peace

Grown on the edge of the thought

Where a raindrop falls on the forehead!

It's a garden of happiness

Grown on the fields of memory

Where a layer of fog passes over the chest!

It's a garden of ambitions

Grown on the valley of ideas

Where a waterfall jumps through the arms!

It's a garden of affection

Grown on the land of feelings

Where a stream hastens through the belly!

It's a garden of compassion

Grown on the plains of emotions

Where a river flows across the feet!

It's a garden of everything

of twigs, plants, trees

but no flower has bloomed so far

I took vows and poured the water

to grow a flower from the garden

Alas, all my attempts gone in vain!

On the verge of 48th hour

A flower blossomed from a wild tree in the corner

I saw it through its tenderness

I listen it through its petals

I smell it through its smile

I feel it through its presence!

Flower.. Oh flower

you are the outcome of my age-long waiting!

Flower... My flower

You are the product of my age-less penance!

I touched it gently- kissed it smoothly

I pampered it soothingly- hold it subtly....!

Now, I got a companion

To talk, speak, shout, converse, congratulate

To share big-little things and little-big actions

21 Eras have been passed in an eye-blink time

Ages have flown away in a split-second rhyme

In a gala glorious gleeful chuckle!

As usual, in the morning

I reached the tree to greet the flower

But the flower-less green leaves greeted me in reciprocation

Anywhere near, I couldn't see and feel the flower of my life!

I screamed at the trees

Where has the flower gone?

I shouted at the garden

Where has my flower gone?

The Trees are tight-lipped, 

The Garden is unanswered and kept quiet..

Now, I have started my expedition

to find my missing flower..

My friend, have you seen my flower anywhere??
