Disjointed letters, scattered emotions
embroiled in a tug of words
unsettle the sync of thoughts.
They find a cohesive coherence
under natures balmy umbrella
blossoming into a bouquet of ideas
Emancipation!
Tag: poetry
In Hope…
Life’s pedal moves on waiting for none,
O brother, the only sepia toned picture of us, is a treasure I cherish.
It conjures so many memories full of mirth.
The happy feet scampering across the neighbourhood, on hot summer noon
our buffoonery, inviting the ire of the old café owner.
With laughter echoing through the streets,
those growing up years defined unlimited felicity,
Until
miasmic bugle of war blew, bringing with it bloodshed
bombs bombarded destruction and mayhem.
My lachrymose deluge, drenched the rubble looking for you,
the throes of separation lacerating my soul.
After all these years, I still wait, in hope of your return…

Catharsis!
I sit on the logged bench, watching the alabaster cascades, make a monstrous sound on its fall,
before flowing gently on the moss rimed stones, charting its own course.
I take courage to let go of my tears, from the cliff of my cheek, unabashedly down to the bottom of my soul, releasing the burden of the emotional upheaval.
My briny tears, cleanse my soul of all the hurt.
A constant companion, my faithful dog, a sole witness to my purgation, wags his happiness to see me move on, to face the challenge with renewed vigor.
Unmoor!
Anchored to the harbor, by twines of anxiety
unknown shores overwhelm me.
Placid demeanor camouflages the conflict within me
Triumph lies beyond the tempest,
the spirit of accomplishment beckons me.
I just need to unmoor, set sail,
to break the spell of fear.

Emotional Emancipation!
Toxicity of relationships stifle me
tremors of raucous feelings erupt into an avalanche,
rustle the pages of thoughts,
scraping buried memories.
Torrents of unsaid words
trapped within the fortress of my heart flow.
Deluge of tears ink the blank paper
with whorls of pain.
Emotions that asphyxiated within
today,
taste freedom after a long battle of holding on!
The Homecoming…
The rusty hinges of the door creak a melancholia of emptiness
abandoned, a veiled gossamer of neglect envelopes it.
Ambivalent emotions embrace me in nostalgia,
I close my eyes, inhale the smattering scents of yesteryears
fragments of my childhood, resplendent with love and laughter fill me.
Fun filled times with playmates in the cart
wheel across the courtyard, echoing merriment,
driving through the narrow alleys, the many outings in the old car were so cherished
the ambrosial culinary delights from mom’s kitchen permeated my senses.
Itinerant lifestyle, kept me away for good,
night, seemed too dark for the family in waiting.
The once familiar surroundings, today seem distant
walls of my home, do not recognize me anymore.
The people have all gone, only memories linger on…
Z – Zen!
A to Z challenge – Nature and I
Today is the last post of the A to Z challenge. This journey with nature has mellowed me, opened up layers of my personality hidden deep, helped me release my emotional baggage and accept life and its offerings with grace. I am thankful that my connect with nature has been an enlightening experience for me.
In the lap of nature, the connect ignites a trigger
the mind delves deeper within the confines of self,
arriving at the inner unexplored sanctum.
The layers of ignorance unravel slowly,
multitude of thoughts, gently settle into sedation.
Bedazzled by the radiance of the mystic aura,
it revels under the new found feeling of bliss,
soaking in a beauteous facet emerging.
Tuning in to the faint susurrations of the cosmic energy,
floating in the stillness of that embryonic light,
the soul listens to the sounds of silence,
resonating with vibrations of infinite peace.

A big thank you to all my readers who stayed with me on this journey and showered their love on my work. Stay safe, connect with nature and always be happy !
P – Painting Poetry!
A to Z Challenge – Nature and I
Nature has always been a favorite muse of artists, writers and story tellers. There is something magical about the natural world that kindles the imagination and evokes evocative emotions in people. I am no different.
My head is filled with words all askew, as I struggle to put them on paper. The insipid letters weave a dull composition devoid of a soul. In search of inspiration, the open invitation of nature beckons me. I amble out on a leisurely walk, to infuse my pen with the scents and colors of nature, to paint a poetry of verses.
(I have attempted an acrostic haiku for POETRY)
Portrait of night inks
a luminescent mural
raven carousal
Orchestrating awe
a prismatic pageantry
vibrant potpourri
Enraged tempest brews
sculpts torrential emotions
stormy graffiti
Twilight tidings blend
a palette of colors splash
heavenly canvas
Reflective silence
a panoramic snowfall
white calligraphy
Yellow sunshine smiles
animated landscape spurs
inspired quill blossoms.

Painting Poetry!
I sit by the window with a cup of coffee
watching my thoughts meander.
In gay abandon, they drift like the wispy dandelions,
scattering fragments across the cascading beams of the morning rays,
across the wooded trail,
ruffling the russet autumn leaves into a gaily prance,
kissing the honeyed petals bright,
splashing around in the cool gurgling brook.
Infused with the scents of nature,
I collect my thoughts with tender love.
The white paper waits in anticipation
for the words from my quill
to paint a poetic portrait of verses.
