diary of a ghost

Alive I was constrained by the laws of nature
In death nature is my best friend
I am now at liberty to interact with you at my pleasure
May it be night or day
I look at you each morning from the sleepy eyes of the sun
At night my affection takes the form of the soft glow of the moon light
I surprise you with my sudden touch with the passing gust of the wind
Which is usually gentle but some times rough
When you pass through the garden for your early morning stroll
I lay down the red carpet of flowers with motifs galore
In autumn I weave a cushion of leaves to protect your feet from dust
While I wander here & there in my wonder lust
I welcome death from liberating me from stifling social rules
Now I am the lord of all I survey
Caring two hoots for what society says
I sing melodious melodies for you with the chirping of the birds
My love for you is known now to the entire world
My task has been well defined in my new avtar
I can gaze at you at leisure from close by or from very far
I have now got a permanent home to reside in your heart
My body has now merged with you
My heart was already submerged
During rains when rain drops wash your feet & make you fully wet
I marvel at your flight back home perched atop the golden gate
On your birthday I present to you the biggest bouquet the world has seen
I send you a beautiful silky dress I am sure you like its sheen
I shower at your feet the riches of the world as the entire world is mine
At heart I remain a pauper though as what belongs to me is thine
