My dear father
I wonder where you are
On the other side but beside me
Or among the far-away star
...

Arise!
Get on your feet
Get out of the lethargic seat
Don’t stay idle
...

I am Salmon
The great swimmer
With scales beautiful
And silvery-white
...

(this poem pays tribute to a character from the novel ' I Heard the Owl Call My Name'. It is understood better is the reader has read the book)

We were typical Kingcome villagers
Till you came and filled our hearts
...

Moments that are tough
And the moments that you are buff
The nights that you try
And the nights that you cry
...

(i wrote this as a contribution towards....'Earth Hour')

A heavenly orb
Whirling third from the sun
...

(This poem is dedicated to people who are suffering from depression. Depression isn’t the end of the world. You must be strong and fight it)

That vicious inner fiend
Poisoned his mind
...

Let the wings of light
shield me from the storm
wrap me with love
and be my uniform.
...

You are an invisible part
Of the Celestial power
Where thoughts bloom from you
Like an everlasting flower.
...

Close your eyes
And feel the unrealized
A world awaits your sentience
Of the impending sunrise.
...

The twelfth day of January
Eighteen sixty three
A typical day it was
With the same sun and the sea
...

Ever knew that magic
Does exist around you
It pulls you out of tragic
And reveals the good in you
...

(A Tribute to Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, leader of Fiji)

A star is very special
As it shines brilliantly at night
