The Traveller

#OctPoWriMo2016- Day 8 , Prompt : Porous

Attempted poetry form : Rispetto

The kiss of waves cradling my tired feet,
The cool breeze permeating peace,
Engulfing the lone traveler with a warm greet,
The rays of the setting Sun garnering bliss.

The journey is only halfway through,
Not as a captain , but as crew,
Accumulating experiences valuable,
Adorning each page of my journal.

Sumptuous Memories

"Tasty" is the prompt for today- Day 7 at #OctPoWriMo 2016.

This gave me the wonderful opportunity of travelling back in time and rekindling the lovely childhood memories!

Form of poetry : Rondel

Delightful concoctions prepared with love

The taste buds loving the date

Lost in the succulent alcove

A never ending concert of spoons with plates

Those summer evenings delving into mango crates

Tasty adventures in the larder above

Sweet naughtiness with dollops of love

Cradling those magical moments spent in the shade

Speaking with the wind , no worries or frets

The calm lake dotted with pairs of doves

Those childhood days sprinkled my memoirs with hope

Filled the blank sheets with colorful palate

Those childhood days- gone yet forever to stay !

Tantalizing strings!

Sharp- Emotional Turbulence

My take on Blitz Poetry for #OctPoWriMo- Day 5 .

The prompt is "Sharp"

Sharp are the pangs of separation

Sharp are the thorns of isolation,

Isolation from beloved,

Isolation from life,

Life without you resembles

Life without the joy of flight,

Flight to land distant,

Flight of hope- terror free,

Free from sickening stereotypes

Free from Judgment,

Judgement that rules sentiments,

Judgement which wrinkles life’s essence,

Essence of being one,

Essence of being with the unknown,

Unknown will be the experience,

Unknown to all strangers,

Strangers to the thoughts,

Strangers to rising above,

Above rudimentary notion

Above all meaningless perception,

Perception culminating to deception

Perception having sharp inclination

Inclination drifting away from reality

Inclination leading to vulnerability

Vulnerability channeling confusion

Vulnerability creating Rift

Rift in ideology

Rift in dreams conjugating with reality

Reality looked bewildering

Reality pricked, I panicked

Panicked at the darkness

Panicked at the void

The void –a life without you

The void – a bottomless pit

The pit I dread falling into

The pit I dream about

About the lovely past

About the moments that didn’t last

The last time we held hands

The last time we sang songs

Songs of hope, of a faraway land

Songs of togetherness

Togetherness is what the heart craves for

Togetherness is what I cherish

Cherish our quarrels

Cherish our trips

Trips on paths of Pain

Trips on paths of Love

Love

Pain.

The Purple Horizon

OctPoWriMo2016 - Day 4- Purple, Poetry form : Cascade

Oh! Such a delightful form and prompt. Needless to say had to don my thinking hat time and again for this concoction !

Our lives entwined like lyrics with music,
Together we played beautiful theatrics,
Journeyed terrains, mountains and hills,
The purple horizon still awaits us, Memories yet to be created and lived !

The octave of life,brimming with tunes nomadic,
Crafted with precious moments and relic,
Making us richer by each cognizance mesmeric,
Our lives entwined like lyrics with music.

The ups and downs, highs and low rustics
-of life,Blessed with experiences majestic,
Taught the essence of Smile amidst struggles gigantic,
Together we played beautiful theatrics.

Adventurous has been our story thus,
Speaking with the wind, valleys and trees,
The destination engulfed all troubles and tribulations,
Journeyed terrains, mountains and hills.

The evening has seeped in,
Marking the culmination of another day,
The eyes are tired but sparkling!
The purple horizon  still awaits us, Memories yet to be created and lived!

The Sparkling!

#OctPoWriMo2016 : Poetry prompt 3- Sparkling.

My first attempt at composing an Ode, not sure whether I was able to  nail it or not.....

Sparkling colors of the Rainbow,
Enlightening the still- wet sky,
Ushering in hope after the heavy downpour,
Cradling my tear stained soul,
With the dazzling smile of yours to behold,
The gush of the wind,fresh with fragrance of wet Earth,
Sprinkles my being with strength,
For being fearless- like a child- unplugged, unrestrained,
On I go spreading my new- found wings,
Soaring across the new- found land,
Sparkling like the myriad hued Rainbow,
- Glistening like a thousand jewels in the sky .

The Void

#OctPoWriMo2016- Day 2- Poetry Prompt : The Void.
Poetry Form: Kyrielle

Silence brewed foamy solitude,
Life came to a stand still,
Feathers fell off the quill,
Felt breathless being engulfed by the Void.

Each passing moment reminisced,
Your fragrance, your presence- missed,
My life, now meaningless, creativity -devoid,
Felt breathless being engulfed by the Void.

Looked up at the sky above, dark, dismal,
From the deep dungeons of desolation,
A sigh escaped from my lips parched,
Felt breathless being engulfed by the Void.

The gradual descent into the eternal pit,
Emotionally drained still braved the challenges ahead,
Your absence drenched the soul with strength untold,
Was risen against the pull of the eternal Void !
