Ever wonder how they get the name? For different shapes and varied sorts; Brush-foots , Monarchs and Swallowtails, With myriad colors, like flowers' same. From half an inch, to a foot across; Their marked wings flutter pixie dust, Looks so surreal sure enough, But catch one though, it's such a loss. Tasting nectar through their feet; Finding mates and laying eggs, Pairing pollen all along, Only living twelve months neat! Enduring the cycle through, Squirm at first, fly at last; Struggle to win, a dictum true We feel "butterflies" when anxious too!                                                             -Amogh Inamdar

How my mind runs on and on, And wanders about aimless and deep.  How my heart wants to care and feel, And beats pointlessly without your touch.  How my every breath breathes bare,  Which with you, was full of spirit. How my eyes sees and stares, Watching our memories on repeat. How my ears hear your only voice, Falling deaf on the commotion outside. How wind forth brings pleasant air,  Reminds me of your scent, sweet. How my skin misses your soft lips, For want of an another kiss again. How is it your soul remains warm?  Even on cold winter nights; How is it your name remains alive?  Even if you're buried down beyond; Because, It's aflame with my yearning. So much so, That I pray I die too! -Amogh Inamdar

Ever think how they stay so bright Through all that darkness' in the sky, Dotted specks of glittering gems; Strewn across the space. As and when the days do pass; They don't hide, run or cower But sparkle yellow, red and white Showing all their true colors. Often known for their favorite shapes, Are only big burning balls of fire, far away. Can we ever count the number?  Running at the infinites. And yet, each one born; Is special throughout its time. Tis' we can conclude, the lives of stars,  Are much akin to our own; They form, they grow and shine, And aft having lived a radiant journey, They disappear into the universe.                                                                 -Amogh Inamdar
