those red rose petals
look wilted between the pages
of my diary.

fragrance and color
not discernible….for me
like yesterday though.

still your feel and smell,
keep them intoxicatingly
fresh for ages to come.

Fairly Yours

A Buddha, A Luther king
A Gandhi or A Mandela
needed to born again
to diminish the line of disdain
between those who survive to live..
and those who live to survive,
to get the gap abridged
between those who are compressed of living..
and those who want to underplay the same fact

with utter naivety

Moa(o)ningly Yours

(Written for What do you see # 227- Feb 26, 2024)

Why hide so far
Was waiting for just one glimpse
for you to show again,
the stars heard
these springs heard
my passion of pain
for not seeing you,
all the birds, trees even heard
You also listen, darling…
Come on, now….
in this intoxicating night,
so inebriant evening,
every view is beautiful,
the smoke of my sighs
spread all around,
I asked the cool breeze
Where you were….
it also charmed by your glimpse and escaped me
and made me restless….
see the effect of my love O! Moon…
Now, there you come holding my heart…
I got it today, the glimpse
my desired path,
show again,
With love, that you always give me,
and to my heart…

We follow our own paths,
With immaculate hearts and higher spirits,
Trying touch the sky with holy deeds,
Spotless in footprints and toiling in actions,
Oceanic in patience, unmatched in loyalty,
Closed to God, always for humanity,
We the mountain, from the mountain…

Struggle for life.. always…

but certainly… not
for self-respect and recognition,

even for a minute…

What I am, I am

What I am I am made to be

What I am I must be

What I am not, I am not

What I am not I am not made to be

What I am not I need not be

Having said that,

What I am probably I should not be

What I am not I ought to be

Thinking that

Thanks for considering me what I am

And sorry for everything else what I am not….

God evening and till later…

Reena’s Guidelines- Welcome back! Prompt #318

The theme we have for this week is What I am not…

Alternatively, you can play the same game on the Facebook app “My Puzzles”, generate images of yourself and share your comments/reflections on the same. Sounds like fun?

I’d advise you to delete the app later, as they continue to extract data from your profile otherwise. I don’t recommend getting addicted to these apps. It’s your choice.

There is no restriction on the format of the piece. There is no last date either unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

Any post that is found to be offensive, vulgar or something that hurts common sensibilities will not be included. This needs to be a safe space.

Searchingly Yours

searched for gleam
vagrant soul,
far and near
partly…whole.

outta blue
like God’s boon,
in black, comes
a full moon,

not by sea
land or air,
thru just words
true and fair.

W3 Prompt #94: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Guidelines- Sally (POW) encourages us to compose a ‘ Cethramtu rannaigechta moire’ with the following specifications:

(Un)Reasonably Yours

No limousine required for an enjoyable journey

and certainly no reason for being happy….. 

A few days back while driving home, I saw these two kiddies (Two gals) fully enjoying dancing and singing in a small lorry’s back. Their father, just like the gals themselves, was singing while driving, and conscious enough to give me proper pass to overtake. I did not overtake the lorry and took the photo of the gals. Sorry kiddies!!! without your consent there, but could not resist taking it, since its hard to find people mirthful nowadays.

Livingly Yours

( Written for W3 Prompt #93: Wea’ve Written Weekly)

Want to dance with life again,

petrichor scent, drenched soul, heart beat rhymes,

limbs sing, soul dances, music all around,

with happiness, joy and a toast of champagne.

velvety dreams, golden twinkle, time bell chimes,

sing-dance-sing, life in all smiles,

filled colours in life’s silhouette with glow unbound,

over the hiatus, now want to live a while.

remain cozy with what’s around us
or we explore innovation,
remain afflicted with what has been
or we explore best discerning way to oppose,
remain Adam and Eve
or explore ways to be Gagarin or Armstrong,
remain on the earth just as is
or explore infinite sky, hidden barysphere, deep oceans or purest of hearts,
remain on time waiting for time
or explore the time itself,
remain audience for scornful, cacophonic, chore life words
or explore our words to soul’s happiness.

Guidelines- Welcome back! Prompt #316

I’m simplifying the task for you and me this week.

You’ve been seeing the cover image for the last four weeks now. Use it as a prompt (sans the RXC alphabet) and write whatever comes to mind.

It will help me know how it is interpreted by viewers, and if it goes with the theme of the Challenge.

There is no restriction on the format of the piece. There is no last date either unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

Any post that is found to be offensive, vulgar or something that hurts common sensibilities will not be included. This needs to be a safe space.
