Joy # Day 31,OctPoWriMo Challenge, 2013

                             2013 image,Goa

 

Let the magic begin,

Let the life unfold,

The smiles in the moment

The treasures it hold.

 

May the creations of wonder

Rejuvenate our souls

May the heavenly grace guide

and we never forget our goals

 

To all the darkness

I bid adieu

A new dawn arrives

Afresh , anew.

~~payal~~

P.S. I admit that I wrote the first stanza of this poem quite a long time back and finished it today..This was the last day of OctPoWriMo Challenge.. And as I said before It's just the beginning and not the end..

Breathless # Day 30 ,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                                 2013 image,Goa

 Breathless

I inhale the smoky fumes

And exhale the ashes ..

In a short while

The Sun shall set again..

Today might not be my day..

Anger,fear,anxiety..

Rules!

Mood swings, Unavoidable pain ..

And the fever persists..

Oh Please! No more experimenting.

Choked! Get me a breather..!

Shattered and scattered

Thousands of reflections

Gaze back and laugh

Through the broken

Pieces of glass..

All days are not the same

The Sun shall rise again

And bring in new hope

And inspire

To live,To dream and to survive!

~~payal~~

P.S.  Fever loves me so much that its not leaving..Doctors are trying to figure it out still and I am busy minding my own business..

Autumn leaf # Day 29, OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

 As death awaits with baited breath,

live till you are alive,

Never stumble, do not fear,

I shall walk by your side.

Do you remember a single thought,

of what I used to be

With all your love when you come,

bring that thought to me..

Don’t sit here and grieve now,

just have a word with me.

I promised to be there with you,

when you remember silently.

  

Here lies this body of clay, dead yet so alive, like an autumn leaf.

Clay turned to ashes,traded with the wind,the flowers bloom in wilderness.

A wanderer.. # Day 28 ,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                                                             2010 image,sunset                           

       You are        

 the language of my heart

 that comes alive

 with just a thought.

I am

 a frenzied emotion

written on the clouds

 that fall as rain..

You are

 my imagination

that floats in mid-air

 on rays of light.

I am

an illusion

with sparkling dust

 bounded till infinity..

Together we are

 the stranded souls

 whose paths meet

 at every bend.

You are

 a sparkling shining pearl..

 I am

 a wanderer of your realms..

~~payal~~

Read on..I am..                                                                     

Be at ease # Day 27,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                                   2012 image,Saharanpur
Be at ease,rest a while my friend,
It's the beginning,not the end,
Worn out paths need amend,
In a moment of silence,to peace transcend.
May rainbows fill your life and blend,
On wings of faith,slowly ascend.
Dare to dream,again my friend
It's the beginning,not the end.
~~payal~~

People seek guidance # Day 26,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                                                    2011 image,Saharanpur

Familiar with words

Familiar with people

People who are distant

People who are close

Close like atoms

Close like family

Family that supports

Family that cares

Cares for the young 

Cares for the old

Old are the traditions

Old are the habits

Habits of conditioning

Habits of my sister

Sister who is cheerful

Sister who loves

Loves to talk

Loves to sing

Sing to her tunes

Sings loud in her voice!

Voice of grace

Voice of my parents

Parents are strong

Parents gave me life

Life is simple

Life is to live

Live for others

Live with gratitude

Gratitude makes us compassionate

Gratitude helps us to heal.

Heal the wounds

Heal our souls

Souls connect

Souls talk

Talks resolve the problems

Talks bridge the gaps

Gaps in the mind

Gaps in relations

Relations with self

Relations with family and friends

Friends forever 

Friends who share the secrets

Secrets of the dark

Secrets of the universe

Universe full of laws

Universe full of guidance

Guidance to move with grace

Guidance to understand

Understand

Grace

Festivity # Day 25,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

A shroud of silence

Laced with

The blissful moments

Surrendered to peace..

Joys of life..

Elegantly dressed

Patiently waits

With shimmering pearls..

Fragrant breaths

Paradisaical

Recite

Melodious rhapsodies..

In your warm embrace

My heart dances

In perfect rhythm

On the beat..

From the past # Day 24, OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                            2011 image,Saharanpur

Lost,

Are the

Dreamer’s dreams..

As life unfolds

A bigger picture....

That era is long gone.

Nauseating memories,

Do I really remember?

To be gentle with myself today..

Forgetting fears that hold me back sometimes,

As I step into my darkness again.

I pray to the lord to give me strength,

To go back in time and let go..

Of fragmented realms of pain,
Indistinctly hurting..

Shadowy glimpses,

All-smudged and blurred,

In the moist,

Twinkling,

Eyes.
