This is for my sweet cute friend PRITI. God you should see her when she smiles, and if you dont fall in love with her then, man...u really must be as tough as me...


She is forever standing
at our secret pond
beneath our loving tree.
Welcome late-spring breeze
lifting summer dress and hat
ever so slightly.

She is dropping a rose
frozen forever in time
it cascades from her hand.
Around her, the pond,
the cat-tails, the bird song,
all captured deliciously.

She is smiling playfully
as rose follows petals
to rest amidst lily-pads.
A buzz of bumblebee,
breeze dancing leaves above,
mid-morning sun seems to kiss her.

She laughs hearing her name
turns with anticipation
burned forever is the sight.
Even as life continues -
for that split second
her beauty is immortalized.

Sudhakar this was beautiful.I really can't believe that you wrote this poem for me.After reading this poem i felt like smiling forever.Frankly speaking i really didn't expected it to be so good but this was amazing.I am not saying this because i am your friend but i am really looking forward to a book with the collection of your poems.
