Silent memories

Caculo mall, Goa, 2016

Memories rush in,

beneath a new monsoon sky.

Sweet old melodies.

I get ready for the rain,

Paper boats float in my mind.

Goa, 2016

 

Magical raindrops

Soft melodies of the yore

Soothing petrichor.

~~payal~~

Gurgaon, 2016

  

In quiet moments

silent night sings lullaby.

I sleep peacefully.

~~payal~~

 

This is my Day 5 post for writetribe festival of words 5.

connections

Goa,2015

As I fix my gaze

On a pair of crystal swans

well placed in the niche

Gracefully they remind me

Of pure soulmate connections

:

broken bridges

needs amend

to reach the other end.

It's Day 14 of #OctPoWriMo

 

Anxiety #Day 20

Hurried steps faltered

Smitten by an anxious bug

Time lost forever

Memories of last autumn

Dissolved in melting music

Wars

2013 image, Goa

Wars fought with weapons,

Terrified territories,

Should first end in minds.

Oh Ares! The God of war,

When will your lust for blood end?

:

:

Engraved in their hearts,

Are frozen tears, and the scars,

Visible in eyes!

Come ye poets, let us write,

Poetry amidst bloodshed.

Perceptions

                                                                                                 2014 image,Goa

 

 

Somersaulting winds

from the unattended field,

feels like needle pricks.

Signs of rusted existence,

form natural boundaries.

       **********

Following the signs,

making way through blinding dust,

new pathways emerge.

Embracing the obstacles

towards our destination.

tanka for poets on the page

Moist dreams

wondrous reflections
floats in the eyes and roll down
pain of loneliness
painters painted their moist dreams
while gazing at the night sky.
~~payal~~
Abstraction, after a long time..done with charcoal and gouache on canson sheet.

Phailin-tanka.. # Day 15, OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

                                                                                                    2013 image,Panjim

The nature’s fury,

Walls collapsed, trees uprooted.

The dark lords descend..

The devastating cyclone,

Left a trail of destruction.

~~payal~~

Silence #Day 14,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013.

Gazing at the wall,

Overwhelmed by your absence,

I quieten my mind.

Paper roses come alive,

And talk to me in silence.

~~payal~~

LIFE

Pondering over

The book called life,as it is

Lies somewhere amidst

The dark dense forest itself

Cure for the venomous stings

~~payal~~

We have to come again in the lap of mother earth....in some other body at some other time....Souls destined to be together remain inseperable no matter whatever happens....Life is simple then why do people make their lives so complicated?!?
