NOTHING MORE! NOTHING LESS!
Cool monsoon evening
Tender cold breeze!
Still dark clouds on the western horizon
In the back drop of the factory chimney
And the crest of the church and temple!
In a perfect silhouette!
Chirping home bound birds
Bleating goats on the mud hills
The whistling passing train at a distance!
Occasional cold swirling winds
Beats the window shutters
and
Brings
The odor of pollens and petals of flowers
And burning smell of rubber scrap!
The plunged darkness behind me
Added perfect contrast
Of the vivid nature outside!
The prolonged silence in the ambience
And the loneliness in my life;
Making my mood to swing to the nature
With no friend or foe around me
Except
the hot cup of tea beside me!
I just slide on the window shutter
Seeing GOD everywhere!
But resigned my self to my loneliness!
yet;
With content in life;
For what I had
I have
And be;
Deriving every pleasure
From every whisper and fragrance
Passing through the window!
Fleeting my ears and cheeks!
Drop of showers
Trickling my hands!
Praying GOD
To upkeep this
Just ambience
For ever till me!
Nothing more
Nothing less

Though one of my previous poem "My besttt friend who left such a pain........." was about my feelings for my demised friend. Though my note was not that upbeat, but neverthless not on downslide too! you can visit and read that one too, besides my many others!

True the mood of the poet must be on the upbeat! only then he can deliver.
Even pessimism should have an upbeat mind and soul.
when we are optimistic then it is euphoric.

NAVAL LANGA,
Thanks for visiting and your nice comment!
True we have to look around with emotions from our inner mind and only then we can see the divine vibrations in the nature in every flutter and whisper!

The mood of the poet must be on the upbeat.He seems to be in a positive frame of mind and finds everything rosy.Healthy body only may have a healthy mind.One can see God in nature under such a pleasant settings.

Dear Rama Rao garu
At the outset thanks for visiting and postining the comment!
Thanks too, for your opinion on the theme of my poem.
I respectfully beg to differ with your view point. what i tried to describe was a sub-urban remote colony in a drizzling evening. I had exeperienced the odd smell of burning rubber scrap with other frangrances. May be the odd combination of odors may sound of of tune, but it is a fact.
Coming to "Factory chimny' , i just said that the tall chimney tower as appeared at the back drop in a "silhouette", but never said to mean smoke is emitting.
Yes! lonelyness is from our perspective! when I was sitting alone without any friend and family member at that point of time with me, I felt lonelyness! but consoled my self later feeling the GOD in the ambience.
thanks ! for your visit, as you are one among the best blogger on sulekha!
I keep learning from your learned views nowonwards! I am glad you offered your frank comments sir,

My dear krishnabaalu garu,
If u permit me let me point out some contradictions in ur verse.
1. burning smell of rubber scrap seems to be out of synch with the ambience and fragrances described. Monsoon winds dont bring such smells. Even factory chimneys! I doubt.
2. When u were seeing God everywhere how could u feel lonely? Seeing God has always been the ultimate aim of every man.
3. U were complaining of lonliness and yet deriving pleasure with a request to Him to keep it that way.
This is not to say that ur poetry is not nice.
Ramarao.
