Harihar Jha

When you see at the waterfall with amazement
your look goes beyond to a wonderful extent

floating black clouds merging in your hair to rain
microscopic water drops playing with your cheeks
humming sound from bumble bees surrounds your beauty
you mystify the air, surrounding branches speak

you see the laughing flowers and smile with a style
flowers drop down as they see beauty in your smile

fire erupted in rain when your eyes were angry
and when you calm down, birds fly over the ocean
cruel your eyelashes when something you don’t like
lovely face when you bite your lips in emotion

very innocent your eyes hide a bush of thorns.
hurt when you pierce in my heart more than wild horn

I glue to your eyes when you see actors on stage
your thrilled expression match the overflowing strife
you murmur against the villain to embarrass
acting is mechanical, you give it a life

as you see the drama with sorrow and happiness
I see a play on your face of relax and stress
