An unseasonable lamp Stays my side, As rays of the sun And shimmers of the nights, Reassuring words of love With her hands in mine! Like the touch of the wind On a scorching day, She is that touch wood Amidst the decaying logs, Making space for me to not seek more but enjoy the lesser!Continue reading
As each day ends, I wish I could dive into my chaos energetically rather than drowning pathetically and then watch the movement of water that overpowers me transferring a portion of its energy as our sweet little deal followed by taking a stand against the welcoming winds under the bed of stars preferably boarding over a gently swaying boat that sails over an ambient oceanscape as a lonesome point that is lost in this vast universe born only to find all beauty in the vanishing ripples that reflect the milky white planetoid pumpkin which has mood swings that do not match with mine and afterwards slowly slip into the arms of sleep right in the shimmering open arbour that remains unbarred while listening to the magical stories of umpteen galaxies that hang over and the mellifluous voice of surrounding waves that kiss me good night one by one until that philander with bright dancing rays barges in on my pleasant utopian or sometimes wild dreams forcing me to open my eyes after bulldozing all fantasies written and directed by Nox.

hypnotic beauty
feeds my hunger in dark dome
one cold winter night
pulling me to a new world
immersed in her wilderness
This tanka is written from the perspective of an adventurer experiencing Northern lights for the first time. The verse uses this elusive journey as a metaphor for fondness or passion in love.
Inspired by Colleen’s ‘Tanka Tuesday #227’.

Because I could not stop for death, He stopped before me Choosing the dark dock In a deep valley Amidst the lofty mountains And started pouring out his anguish By crying out tears Until the sun shone again!Continue reading
race for perfect blend
flawed shades reflect flawless days
sky in charming hues
omitting you dooms lives
rise again before we fade
your presence lights days Continue reading
wind breaks talks of clouds!
hoping to meet them elsewhere
sun waits the whole day
clouds blush crimson red!
promising to meet again
sun kissed the floaters goodbye
never do they meet
sharing light they pull closer
never do they part
This post is written in response to the ‘Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt’ by Ronovan. The challenge words for the week are Meet and Part.
Woman to Artist:
paint me either way
gray shades or vibrant colours
I dare not question
Artist to Woman:
days so glittering
womanhood celebrated
nights luminescent
elegance remains
with plain shades or complex strokes
born free to live free
you are gold that glitters
your lit face or diamond heart
I dare not question
This is in response to the ‘What Do You See Prompt’ by Sadje (any original writing inspired by the given picture – set as featured image).
Glistening twilight
tides talk to tiny islands
through the voice of waves
Memories of life
giggle like the ebbing tides
lovely yet looming
Beach betrays vision
twilight portrays false beauty
of what the day blinds

Just like tides touching the shore, memories cross our minds speaking in a voice that only our inner self understands. Most often, these memories are heavy. Continue reading
Sun’s touring uphill
Enjoying the grand vista
I tread down the hill
This is my first attempt at writing a haiku. Accidentally, it also has the usage of a linguistic device ‘Apo Koinou’.
Continue readingTurning off lights on Earth Hour, I go to the terrace.
I admire the beauty of the full moon, thinking about the billion-year-old firefly that lights it, standing on Earth.
EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour, organized by World Wide Fund for Nature, is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect the planet. Engaging a massive mainstream community, Earth Hour was famously started as a lights out event in Sydney, Australia in 2007.
It is an annual event held towards the end of March every year when people across the globe turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a commitment towards a better future.
Yes, it makes a difference.
SYZYGY
Syzygy isn’t something that’s related only to astronomy. I browsed to find details on the word’s origin and Continue reading
Varun loves summers, and so had planned to tick off an item from his bucket list of visiting Egypt on the summer solstice, where a viewer standing at the Sphinx could enjoy the sun setting precisely between two of the Great Pyramids – Khufu and Khafre.
Unfortunately, the lockdown collapsed his plans, the result of which he had to settle with a friend who was to trek to a hilltop tower in a nearby town.
He started his climb with sorrows brimming, but the mountain’s breeze soothed his wounds, Continue reading
