Micropoems by Gurjeet Kour Ghuman

Thump

Echoes of firm thump 

of braves feet

Deceitful enemy 

feel the heat

Before retreat 

gifted enemy 

stack of wreath!

□

Pretense

Under the pretense of freedom

Truth prevails seldom

Evil world we live in

Here humanity held for ransom!

□

Fear

Life is weelittle song to sing, lyrics drift downhill. 

Melancholic tunes resonate across the hill.

Fear never comes out of chest. 

Aggrieved souls laid to rest.

□

Spring Is Near 

Herald of life spring is near

Mother nature's fair

Nature's way to flaunt it's flair

Meadows come to life, 

riot of colour appear!

□

Ocean of Love

Placid ocean of love floats towards me

Beloved mine, you cast spell on me

Our souls touched in ecstasy charm

I flew in your cozy arms!
