Looking back. #Day 31

Crossing the hurdles

of hesitation and fears,

Baring my soul,

learning constantly

Watching the fumes rise

from the haunting shadows

in the light of dark

Strange feelings

emerge from

the vast sea of consciousness

and dissolve in the written words.

I surprise myself

yet again!

Is it the end?

Or a new beginning?

Journey #Day 30

In the middle of the road

The travellers were stuck

In the wintery chills

feeling  there was

no end to the misery.

 

They crushed the patterns

the day before

their journey was about to end.

 

While digging the frosted layers,

they squeezed

the warmth of expressions.

They were saved by grace.

They ask me

what does joy mean to me,

I say

it’s his presence

That fills me with love.

They ask me

what does love mean to me

I say its his essence

that I feel.                                  

Intangible.

They ask me

what do I treasure most

I tell them

It’s our story

Of finding bliss.

They ask me

what is bliss

I believe

The moments in which we create

Memories-

ageless, timeless,

Concealed, revealed,

I tell them honestly,

It’s all about loving unconditionally.

Re-awaken #Day 28

                                                                                                                         2014 image,Gurgaon

 

 

When mind is exhausted

strength lacks

Sleep abandons

 ..hearts starve

In absence of

 harmonious thoughts

Inspiration

becomes the need of an hour

to re-awaken the

senses.

Insatiable hunger

for a little sunshine

could be met with a drop

of love.

Dreamers #Day 27

                                                                                                                               2014 image, Gurgaon

Driven by the impulses

Relaxing in the meadows

Ephemeral sufferings ease out

As sleep tiptoes silently

Misty eyes find relief beyond

Eclipsed senses

Radiating from the pores

Surrendering to eternity.

Dark #Day 26

Strange voices of darkness

strikes with frightening velocity

In chaotic moments

And make spooky noises

That fills the mind

In midnight hours.

Restlessness creeps in

 with a thud.

Heart keeps pounding

Mysteriously on the beats

Trying to set itself free

From the ghosts of the past.

Captivating spirit

Of a fascinating belief

Had a magnetic effect

That pulled me

Towards it then...

Life is magical

....and it still does unfold

Mysteries of the

silent moments,

Now.

I still believe in miracles.

radiating from their souls

Fire in their moves.

I begin again

after a long wait,

that feels like eternity.

A bubble rises and floats

on the canvas of my mind.

With a little sunshine,

 it glows magnificently

 with its rainbow colours.

 All the dark,dull, thoughts move aside

and give way to the light.

It shimmers in the fancy world

of glazed thoughts

and monochromatic desires.

Fascinated by its purity,

I try to find

the truth of unknown.

I feel.. #Day 22

                                                                                                                                     2014 image, Gurgaon

When I think of

walking on the lonely sands,

discovering the path,

Spontaneous response

To the tantalizing effects

Of unreasonable quest

Rise from the sand storms.

Bitter symphonies

Play on like a lie.

I feel lost

in search of mirage.

I feel,

I can do anything

I set my mind to,

Or so I believe.

 

Beneath my skin,

The whispering moon

burns the black forests.

Imprints #Day 21

Impressions of my fingers

Lie in the moments

That said

“Handle with care”.

:

You’ll find my footprints

Wherever you go

As I’ll always be with you

:

You’ll find my handprints

Etched in memories

That touched

Your heart silently.

Hurried steps faltered

Smitten by an anxious bug

Time lost forever

Memories of last autumn

Dissolved in melting music

Raindrops #Day 19

 

 

A few damp leaves

Left their imprints

In written words

In the pages of an old book

:

melancholy of cloudy bits

blurred the vision.

In twilight,

Raindrops kissed

the bruised blades of grass.

a question #Day 18

Thunderstruck,

by black consequence,

stuck and worried flowers

still question

their serious

thoughts.

 

What do they fear?

Interesting prompt for the day. #OctPoWriMo Day 18.

Purple dreams #Day 17

honey will
of gorgeous moon
sprayed the mist
of raw love

thousand mad storms
chant deliriously
in purple forest
of my dreams.

They lived.. #Day 16

                                                                                                                                2012 image,Goa

Once upon a time,

There was a story,

Timeless..

That neither had a beginning

Nor an end.

 

Not too long ago,

The clouds swallowed the stars

And the moon hid in despair,

Time was tough

weather was rough

The trees were burning                                                               

The flowers smelt like ashes

When a grain of sand

Chose to become a pearl.

:

and there..

They lived!

Halfway,

I met myself,

As a seed

Loved by nature

Nourished and nurtured

Growing freely.

Half way

The blazing embers cooled down

A dash of red,

Added beauty to the glowing dawn

Half way

Feelings of hesitant clouds

Rained as they found voice,

Soothing sounds of wind chimes

Brought back some

peaceful memories.

Wingless #Day 14

                                                                                                                                                         2014 image, Gurgaon

 

It’s been ages,

You found me

In that moment

and asked

“ what do you plan to do with your life?”

Like a wingless bird

Almost clueless

Thinking about

the life,

half- lived,

Sitting in my corner,

I fixed my gaze

At the clear blue sky.

I wanted you to know,

I wish to unfold mysteries
 at every step,

Clear the barriers
of boredom,

Create a new day,
everyday,

And breathe!

 
Today, rain

Washed away the dust

and cleared the haze.
:

I breathe.

shades and hues #Day 13

                                                                                                2012 image,Goa

When grey knocks at the door,

Forms and shapes emerge

Quietly

On the blank paper

In different hues and shades.

 

Lighter and darker

Stronger and brighter

strokes of painted emotions

Splashed

 in the garden

Full of dreams.

The flowers

 smell of love-potion

Coming from those flames

Silently burning

In the hidden stories

Burnt and spilt in

Distorted memories.

 

Enraptured desires

In obsession with the dark

Creeps and crawls

And flows from the eyes,

Wanting to possess

The sane mind.
