::Just can't do without you::

2012-01-25T08:44:00.000-08:00

The poem is a result of conference chat with my hopelessly crazy friends. The first para was given by a friend and he asked me to write a song (not a poem) in simple language.

There are a few, but they aren't like you..

I can do without me, but not without you!

love is priceless, cannot be bought for a cost..

hold on to it, before its all lost

hand in hand, let us sail to a place,

where sun drowns in an orange haze,

Let us lie beneath a moonlit night,

Our dreams dancing side by side

I trace my lifeline etched on your palm,

while you look at me, innocently calm,

smiling broadly, yeah it's true

There are a few, but they aren't like you

stealing glances by the shore,

diving into the ocean's floor,

through your eyes I would love to view,

my life can go on but not without you!

In dazzling colors,

way above the distant clouds,
when clash breezy ions ,

blurring the grey night,

adorning emerald gown blue,

a splendor unfold,

splashed across the winter skies,

mesmerizing yawning eyes,

I stood still, rooted,

in awe.

[Villanelle] Emptiness of Fear

2012-01-04T07:41:00.000-08:00

A Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem consisting of a very specific rhyming scheme:

aba aba aba aba aba abaa.

The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the

poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines).

Sneaking into emptiness of fear,

haunting queries of the night,

Will I see you again, my dear?

By the side of sparkling mere

promises sigh a yearn to unite.

Sneaking into emptiness of fear,

Destiny was too sincere.

Smirking at my treacherous plight,

Will I see you again, my dear?

Though I no longer hear,

Silence of subterfuge fight,

Sneaking into emptiness of fear,

Savoring yester’s souvenir

in hope to relish flights of delight,

Will I see you again, my dear?

Finally when the mist clears,

shadows of time lurk despite.

Sneaking into emptiness of fear,

Will I see you again, my dear?

Beyond shadows, stealthily plying on woods of darkest shade,

Resonates an enigmatic secrecy of an old folklore,

there lies a land of shimmer, of colors so absurdly wild,

stars light up the staircase while moon blinds the night,

firmament captures mild earthly reflection ,

imprinting across horizon for ocean to gaze in awe

and on distant moor echoes electrifying laughter,

as warm effervescence dissolve a winter borne ripple

They say such world exist though veiled from heart of stone

Where fairies sprinkle joy and dreams smile to life

My child, your untainted eyes can see it glimmer bright

Where love still holds innocence and greed says good-bye.

Blue-eyed Butterfly

Blue-eyed butterfly, on one bright morn

charmed by wilderness of Bluebonnets

fluttered in a waltz of innocent love.

Shimmered the chirpy youth of spring,

blush on sun-kissed spirited wings, of

Blue eyed butterfly, on one bright morn

A burst of purple at the seams,

it stroke the petals in besotted sighs

charmed by wilderness of Bluebonnets

But, clutch of time wrinkled the bloom,

dismayed, butterfly for one last moment,

fluttered in a waltz of innocent love.

** Cascade, a form created by Udit Bhatia, is all about receptiveness, but in a smooth cascading way like a waterfall. The poem does not have any rhyme scheme; therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the structure example below:

a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C

To make the Cascade an even longer poem, use more lines in verse one. For example, if verse one has 6lines, the poem must have seven stanzas so that each line of verse one is reused as a refrain in each following stanza (a cascading effect).

Night slowly recedes,
dispersing greys in hushed tones,
Slipping through the mist.

And another one,

Hush, said moonlit charm,

tiptoeing near the cradle,

caressing the child.

Weekend Reflection

::A Song of Eternal Wait::

2011-03-23T14:21:00.000-07:00

Across the wild velvet moor, when delicate bluebells yawn

near crystal rill, a belle sings, on each bright summer morn.

humming songs of eternal wait,crouched on gravel brown

painting memories of yesters,long after sundown,

though several summers have passed ,since the day of his no-return,

still ‘neath flickering promises, lingers lullabies of nocturne.

Swept by time, one fateful day,a stony silence ensued

there fell the last solitary tear, of love, hurt, and an adieu.

but they say, across the moor,when delicate bluebells yawn,

still echoes a mellifluous song, on each bright summer morn.

::My Fairy Tale::

2011-03-07T11:38:00.000-08:00

I too am a princess

of my own fairy tale,

Treading on strange lands,

sashaying over

miracles of life,

learning to embroider

dreams beneath

moonless sky,

sometimes I fight Trolls,

sometimes nurse a heart.

Lessons learned,

Princesses don’t walk

on pyre of Dreams.

Twirling to the rhythm of

an everlasting song of liberty,

I string together

frames of my smiles,

and bask in the radiance of happily-ever after.

::She walked Away::

2011-01-30T08:04:00.000-08:00

That evening she stepped,

towards the dusk of

neverending nightmares,

closing the door behind her,

sealing forever the world she didn't

belong to.

-No longer my soul

will be gashed -

a promise she made,

to herself,

blinking in glimmering hope

to start anew.

-A rebellion, A redemption-

breaking norms of spineless society,

a halt to the story of abuse.

Packing new found smiles

she walked away,

that evening.

::Another dreamless Night::

2011-01-23T10:10:00.000-08:00

Silent sultry night

-charcoal gray-

wisp of remembrance

fluttered along the

timeline, demarking

crisp memories of mine

and ours,

dreams engrossed

in a dance of

melancholia,

surging along

with the rise of a

familiar loneliness.

Hope trickles down,under a

dreamless blanket,

as another ash-strewn

midnight, awaits

sepia colored

dawn.

Wikipedia says:

'A calligram is a poem, phrase, or word in which the typeface, calligraphy or handwriting is arranged in a way that creates a visual image. The image created by the words expresses visually what the word, or words, say.

'

Apart from shape poetry ... this is kind-a my first attempt in Calligram.

::Dreamless::

2010-12-13T10:29:00.000-08:00

In the wake of long shadows

rose the moon, beside shreds of

-dreamless stars-

tracing back a frail trail

lost in obscurity -

-unfathomable-

Dreams, suspended among,

dense unceasing thoughts

-dethroned-

mindless musings

monotonous.
