Jellyfish in The sky

I swim, I swim,

in celestial sky.

Twinkling stars,

just like dreamy eyes.

I see, I see,

a mellow moon island.

As if,

an enchanting fairyland.

I feel, I feel,

warmth coming near.

A bright comet flying past,

and I cheer.

I touch, I touch,

planetary crust.

Spray it all over,

To mingle in stardust.

Torn Spirit

Among the iron fence,

stands a white rose.

Its thorns all gone,

borrowed by barbed wire.

Still fragrant and colourful,

But no freshness that’s cheerful.

Just a skeletal stem,

no hope, only glum.

It mourns for those lost,

who’ll never return home,

to the warmth of emotions.

A simple plain truth this rose says.

The rose wanted to be,

a part of bride’s bouquet,

and sing wedding songs.

But here it is, all torn and alone.

Enchanting Hills:Triolet

Enchanting green hills beckon me

as if I am connected to them since eternity

sprawling, abundant beauty makes me glee

enchanting green hills beckon me

life chirps merrily wherever I see

epochs have witnessed their immortality

enchanting green hills beckon me

as if I am connected to them since eternity.

I find solace in this realm

all worldly possessions seem like mirage

their serene aura exudes calm

I find solace in this realm

wish to hold it in my palm

forever it’ll stay for eras

I find solace in this realm

all worldly possessions seem like mirage.

Triolet : Short poem of eight lines with only two rhymes used throughout, where first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines

Solitude

Edvard Munch "The Girl in the Window"  1893

All my emotions pour into you,

everything seems surreal.

No one I need,

just your thoughts I wish to heed.

I bow and listen to the quietness of dark,

silently losing myself.

Peace in heart and mind prevails,

off to far seas I sail.

Calmness of night holds me too tight,

its stillness sings a lullaby.

Clinching steadily onto memory’s veil I stand,

this solitude absorbs me in, as dunes of sand.

Morning Song

My heart sings a morning song,

I feel its soothing warmth.

Yellow sunshine drips in a dale

far and beyond.

A whiff of enchanting breeze,

skipping up and down the hills,

whispers priestly prayers,

all over.

Like clouds my soul drifts,

freely among towering cliffs,

visualising beauty so pristine,

everywhere.

Nature, cradles life with love,

embracing each and everyone,

singing gloriously to us,

the morning song.

I Remember You

I remember you, when I walk through that door,

How every time you held me, not let fall.

I see your glimpse in every corner,

The way you loved me and enamoured.

I still feel your touch on my hands,

The soft dew of emotion left by your strands.

As the wind blows,

Brings your fragrance to the fore.

Can you hear my cries,

Heart wrenching devotions flowing for you.

Yes, I know that you do,

Your gestures and care say it all.

You’re entrenched in my soul deep within,

I remember you from end to beginning.
