Fire in their moves.

Rusted memories-

Tattooed reminders of hope,

Dance like autumn leaf.

Perception #Day 23

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

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?

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

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.

Listen #Day 11

This world
is all yours..
Create with your will
the way it should be.

With love and trust
be the change.
let it reflect
your kindness
and humility.

In the face of thunder,
stay strong.
Fight with the demons
fearlessly.

Hold on to your dreams,
For dreams do come true!
Imagine, believe and act
with patience and responsibility.

Education starts at home
Listen to your conscience,
soar the skies,
Now let life be your teacher
Write your destiny.

a stilt-walker



Concentrating and confidentally performing his duty, passionately, he stood tall, with his deeply rooted extended field of vision,like those trees that never complain. He walked on his way in his fancy costume, trying to interact with the ignorant crowd. His first few steps on stilt had taught him to stay balanced and keep walking.

Mental health # Day 10

Today is World Mental Health Day first established in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health. It's a day to raise awareness about mental health issues through education and advocacy. One in four adults and one in five children will experience mental illness this year. (Resource: NAMI)

Here's my acrostic for OctPoWriMo Day 10  


Mind plays in dark passion

Efforts of balancing fail

Nonchalantly ignoring

These sharpened edges of disbelief     

Aren’t we all crazy in our ways

Living in our own worlds?

 
Heightened illusions healed through

Eliminating the obstacles

And letting the light shine.

Love flows in abundance.

Traumatic imprints

Heal holistically.

little voice # Day 9

In a moment of denial
When the blues took over
And shadows mocked in between
Tenaciously testing my will power.
“Why, oh, why?"
"Do I have to do this?"
I asked myself continuously,
Stubbornly ignoring
that little voice within
Till I couldn’t hear it anymore.
 
I started missing it,
I pleaded, I cried
I promised to believe
And it returned
With gifts of joy.

Creativity #Day 8


2014 image, Gurgaon






Captivating glory of full moon

Retrieved the eclipsed boundaries

Enticing silver charm   

Added to the myths

That attributed to our madness

In artistic world of words

Vibrantly reflecting the moods

In the sparkling ink

Travelling together through different phases

You,my moon, have witnessed my sleepless nights.

Silence # Day 7

As I go deeper and deeper

In my thoughts

A strange silence engulfs me

I sing

I dance

I breathe

I feel free

In that golden

orb of silence.

And then

I hear the noise

I cry

I bleed  profusely

Silently..

Gasping for breath.

Deafening noise

of this venomous silence

Slowly kills me.

I miss that comforting sound

Of throbbing in my heart.

From dark to light

I travel again

One by one

The petals unfold.

I pause

I Reflect

I Learn

In this moment

Of entanglement

As I breathe in peace

And breathe out

All that doesn’t belong to me.

Reborn to relive

The purpose of cosmos.
