~::~ Disbanded Thoughts ~::~
For every half, there is a whole.
For every hand, there’s one to hold.
Every heart has a soul
But why has mine gone so cold
It numbs my body, it numbs my mind,
It seems a bright orb, it makes me blind
It rubs in raw, yet it’s sometimes kind
I wander for a cure, O where shall I find?
Clear as night, dark as day,
Still wanting answers, yet here I lay.
Wanting to break free from this place, I pray
Hiding gazillion feelings within, thoughts affray
~::~::~::~::~::~
~::~ You & Me ~::~
Golden glistening honeyed hue
Your skin as cool as morning dew
You gaze at moon hung high
Million stars adorning the sky
My fingers trace the contours of your face
The feathery touches set your heart at pace
Intertwined fingers playing a tune
Pianos, violins, Guitars – all croon
Your pink lips – sugar drops mellow
Parched for me, they yearn & glow
Senses heightened hearts aflutter
As you melt in my arms like butter
Lost in a trance, emotions excess
We lay there savoring our togetherness
A moment of silence lasting eternity
Our perfect moment – just you and me!

After a long long time, yes seems like I could squeeze in an awful lot of fairytales in the meantime, I have returned back to my Blog.
Its depressing to see that I – who once wrote 3-4 poems a day, am barely able to write 1 in 3-4 months.
I wonder if its Age catching up or is it just a mental block!!
Nonetheless I hope and pray I get some more creative urges to pen down more poems 😦
While for now I leave you with this freeverse 🙂
~::~ Ripples of Life ~::~
Tangerine hued skies, silent zephyr
O’er the icy cool waters, a lonely boat stirs
As he set off baiting fish for a living
Daily chore he must do unfailing
The lake seems calm but inner turmoil persists
The ache on his back which he tries to resist
A trickle of sweat adorns his brows
Yet everyday he must be on his toes
Incessant rowing makes his elbows creak
Creases of skin adorn his wheatish frail physique
Mellowed down eyes, with darkness of hell
Of years gone by, he himself couldn’t tell
A meagre few he gathered after a hard day’s toil
Tomorrow he shall return without as much a roil
A nightingale croons her sweet song at a distance
He’s heard them & seen a million setting suns
Time to wrap up & leave for the warmth of his home
He sauntered back as the sky turned monochrome
A simple dinner, diet of subsistence
Yet he slept with content of heavenly existence
~::~::~::~::~
~::~ Nocturnal Voyage ~::~
Fly away my dear
Towards blue skies clear
As stars whisper secrets sweet
Mellow dreams appeal
In pied shades of teal
Towards puffy clouds retreat
Traversing afar
Wishing on a star
Skyward bound the solar way
Rosy Sun embarks
Sending fiery sparks
Ushering in a new day
Awaking from dreams
Of stars & moonbeams
Merrily the wind bellows
Kindling up all pores
Tiny eyes all sore
Sunrays streaming through windows

The Alouette
The Alouette, created by Jan Turner, consists of two or more stanzas of 6 lines each, with the following set rules:
Meter: 5, 5, 7, 5, 5, 7
Rhyme Scheme: a, a, b, c, c, b
The form name is a French word meaning ‘skylark’ or larks that fly high, the association to the lark’s song being appropriate for the musical quality of this form. The word ‘alouette’ can also mean a children’s song (usually sung in a group), and although this poetry form is not necessarily for children’s poetry (but can be applied that way), it is reminiscent of that style of short lines. Preference for the meter accent is on the third syllable of each line
After a long time I trying hard to break away from the shackles of poet’s block and attempting to come up with new poems…
The only way I can indeed get back and get the inspiration and motivation to write is by attempting various forms of poetry.
And here I have found a brand new form – Kyrielle Sonnet.
Well I have done the Kyrielle before too – you can find the poem here
So this time its a Kyrielle Sonnet – blending both the forms of kyrielle refrain and sonnet style
Read the end of the post for the exact description 🙂 for now here’s the poem
~::~ Fly Me To The Moon ~::~
Upon svelte dreams of velvet skies
Drifting past iridescent highs
Every spectacle makes me swoon
Oh firefly! Fly me to the moon
Feathery clouds of midnight blue
Where I’m headed, I have no clue
Breathtaking moments, make me croon
Oh Firefly! Fly me to the moon
Leaving trail of cottony hue
Transcending sense of dejavu
My heart, it sings a merry tune
Oh Firefly! Fly me to the moon
Upon svelte dreams of velvet skies
Oh Firefly! Fly me to the moon

Kyrielle Sonnet
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.

The Pictorial, created by Emily Romano is a type of shape poem, where the entire poem must be printed in slanting lines indicative of the thought in those lines. The poem should consist of three lines with five words or less per line. There should be rhyme somewhere in the poem, either end rhyme or internal rhyme.

Here’s my try at Pictorial
~::~ Midnight Flight ~::~ 
Note: When you read the lower set of lines read them from the last line moving upwards.
I hope you liked the poem.. do let me know your thoughts..

This is my entry to this week’s Thursday Poets Rally week 54:
Forever….!!!
When love is true,
you want it forever;
When love is deep,
forever is enough never;
When heart is enraptured,
eternity is craved for;
When soul is enriched,
infinite is the dimension of love-
Stretching far into the horizon…, Forever alive, forever young!
Lucky are those who find love, So pure as this.
Blessed are those who can love,As deeply as this.
Enchanted are the moments shared, With a loved one like this.
Enthralling the experience of a love, As deep as this…
So savor the moments And don’t let them go.
Capture them in your heart and let your soul glow…
Forever and forever more…

One Saturday evening I was just lazing around on my bed, going through some old files on my External Hard Disk Drive. I casually came across some old poems, articles and stuff that I had written over the past couple of years. As I was perusing through them I realized how many twists and turns life throws upon us and we always have something new to learn. Some new experiences ~ irrespective whether they are positive or negative, we fall down and yet we always get up and go again! There is pain, there is hurt, there is happiness and a million other feelings washing over you. At times, leaving you with too much to deal with.
On the tenterhooks of an emotional overhaul, I wrote a poem on emotional baggage that we often carry around. Baggage that is on our back with every experience, every incident, every person in our life. This baggage at times brings fond memories and at times gives pain. This emotional baggage needs to be shed, only than shall we emerge stronger and have peace of mind.
~::~ Emotional Baggage ~::~
Once in while
There comes a time
When baggage in pile
Should be left behind
Those are the things
That trouble our mind
Those are bad feelings
To be left behind
Gone is another year
Which came with such zest
Some for some good, for some meager
Yet for others it was the best
~::~::~::~
I am not sure how well I have provided an insight on the emotional baggage and how to rectify them. But I hope you do like the poem.
Do let me know your thoughts through your comments. Honest feedback appreciated.
~::~ Unethical Appeal ~::~
Walking down untrodden lanes
Breaking free from worldly chains
Wandering by deep-dark woods
Deciduous- casting shadowy hoods
Butterflies flutter, buds bloom
Darkness befalls, mind’s a’gloom
Wondering when- veil shall lift
I schlep along the stream adrift
Pondering thoughts clouds vision
Searching for colorful horizons
A neverland, mystical yet real
Beautiful & pure, unethical appeal

But now I am trying to get back on track with writing and more poetry..
I hope you like my comeback and encourage me with your support 🙂
So Here’s this week’s entry to Thursday Poets Rally –
~::~ Pre-Destined ~::~
People we meet
Rarely stay
Excruciatingly difficult every
Day
Everything in life
Stays for a while
Timeless memories
In our minds
Nothing can be altered as
Everything in our life is
Destined to happen
~::~::~::~::~
I hope you like it… Do leave your comments and let me know your thoughts on this..
