Another Day

The crimson dawn kissed the environ 
The crisp morning screaming in silence
The moment nipped in the bud
Innocence strangulated at birth
Another day begins its journey 
Like just another calendar date
Where cries go unheard - stifled
Wings stripped off from dreams unlived
Where are we heading? 
A voice inside murmurs -conscience 
Sleeping but undead! 
The clock stops ,comes to a stand still, 
The poignant pause stares in amazement 
As the world around celebrates independence!

Lost and Found

Form : Loop poetry 

Lost and found

Lost in the boulevard of constellation 
Constellation of cognizance enveloped
Enveloped by the air fragrant
Fragrant with the memories of the past
Past so glorious and enchanting
Enchanting -yet again the environ
Environ of the evening spent
Spent in the company of history
History of bravery, chivalry and love
Love that knew no bounds
No bounds - free ,Soaring high
High like the feeling divine
Divine, pure,chaste is the shrine
The shrine of hearts deeply in love
Love is in the air - alive, ready to be felt
I felt, that connect, that evening ,
Evening cloaked in memories found
Found my soul that was lost
Lost in search of the futile clandestine. 

New year card

The air resplendent with

Music from the magical flute

My feet lifted off the ground

Floating amidst the dreamy clouds

My spirit bathed in peace profound

I could see the old town, of my childhood

As through the clouds, I peep down

The street alive with people bustling

Lively chatter weaving music , here and there

It’s that time of the year, eve of New Year

Greeting cards gleaming through the gloved fingers

Waiting to be delivered , greeted with smiles warm

Hugs, wishes and celebrations- usher in the sunshine warm

My face breaks into a grin,

As I spot myself amid the din,

Galloping through the crowd,

Excitement etched every inch of my mind!

Ping! The beep of my smart phone

-          “Happy New Year”- read the message clear!

No more cards, no more waiting eagerly for the postman

No more clinging to the handmade , priceless pieces of chart paper,

The flute had stopped playing !

It’s the end of yet another year……yes!

But those moments of the yesteryear's are priceless!

Calm

The full moon shone bright
Resplendent with calmness redefined
The air still ,breathing serendipity 
As I catch a glimpse through the branches 
Spread majestically far and wide
The tree,Blanketed with the warmth of its leaves
On this cold,winter night
Felt the chill give way to sweet pleasure
Of the cozy corner near the fireplace yonder
The entangled mind heaved a sigh of relief
Brief it might be,enthused my being
With enthusiasm anew
I took the next step,excited,bereft of all fatigue
Moved on with this memory instilled
Intrigued at the magnanimous acquaintance
Of joy with simplicity!

Melodies

The air intoxicated with lyrics of my favorite song, 
Cascading out of the old gramophone 
Antique indeed....the memories and sentiments lost long 
Forgotten amidst the yellowed pages
Of the diary Forlorn ,
Cloaked in melodies. ...so dear,painful, sojourn
I sit surrounded with cognizance sepian
A lump in the throat. ...stuck,pierced my heart again!
Enveloped in black and white,the room, my existence
While the riot of colors decorated the world outside
The setting sun cast a spell magical
Painting red, the horizon
The birds are homeward bound,chirping, chattering around
As I stand alone , alone in the crowd,
Looking out of the window,
High, high up ....above the ground!

Thoughts.......of an empty envelope

A story of love, hope and flair?

Or one of despair?

Of friends lost and found again?

 Or Of dreams lived now and then?

Of turbulent emotions humming tunes sublime?

Or of recollection of moments gone but divine?

Oh! What will be the ocean of concoctions

Fed into my  breast – eager and expectant!

Toxic Presence

Its been quite a while that turbulent emotions have been hovering in my mind about certain levels of interactive encounters of past . Hence thought of penning that down to ease my mind of the baggage which is becoming quite unbearable.

Teething into privileged territory
Over zealous with self importance and insecurity
Poisoned thoughts that pierce through
Insipid endeavors to instigate hostility
Characters such- an object of amusement
In this materialistic world !
