Beauty in nature, Animals
A lone kingfisher
Meditates on lotus bud
Fish in the pond springs

Tigress walks her cubs
Ferocious, in her ways
Grooms with love, to prey

A stag in the woods
Flies with swiftness of the wind
Sacred its antlers
Inspired by photos shared by a friend!
Thanks for reading. :)

And it grows…
The choice to choose the complexity of truth forever difficult different from the rest
sure it tests
in nature, it is natural for the rivers to flow,
trees to grow, as naturally as they can
  how do you plant a melon seed and wish for an apple to grow
no two fruits can taste same but they come from a family of greens, part of the earth
so are we, different in our ways as we naturally grow
how does it change the truth
hard as it may sound the truth can find its way up wherever it plants and grows roots, albeit,
if the humankind allows
Where there is a flow a natural progression of what is, no cutting down, distortion or clipping in parts, as it changes the whole
it makes sense as is
to the end
And there can be one
Some thoughts which found their way to words

Lessons
Insecurities and Contradictions
Fears and conflicts
Have they , a single solution!!
Managed a hop skip jump
Many a times in life
But some experiences in life
Bound to have had
Bitter it may be as the pill
But  cure it has none
Until undergone
Live as it comes
Learn as it teaches

What’s Lost
Time lost
Never regained
Thoughts lost
The essence
No words can retain

Health is wealth
Powerless bench
No reason to rhyme

Time will seal all, with a word called heal

Robin in her swimming pool

A young girl named Robin, swam in her pool
A stool was parked by the side
It made a dark shadow beneath
The girl watched it, from within the pool
Crooked it looked under the sun
A tall figure loomed along
Her mother was inside the house
Baking some pineapple pies
Her favourite
The young girl, swam to the other end
The shadows followed
The stool, seemed to have moved a few cms
from its original place too
Her voice quivered and she gave out a feeble cry
There was music being played on full blast
Her elder brother loved it like that
Every window pane knew it in the house
It’s  10’o’clock and Rocky is home
Listening to his favourite tracks
The floors were overworked too
Rocky, flaunted his muscles, the mirrors didn’t know where to look and go
They were placed everywhere
Meanwhile, Robin, was still in the pool
The water in the pool seemed to have risen too
And mom was busy in the kitchen
Making pancakes and spring rolls
Robin loved them both
The pineapple pie was ready too
The fresh fruity flavours she looked forward to, her mind salivating
But for the shadow and the stool
Soon, she saw mom’s Apron, faint yellow with a blue lace, now hung on the nail
Robin knew, mom will come out by the poolside to call her in for breakfast
Robin waited, but there was no sign of her mom, yet
She was now worried as the window panes
didn’t vibrate anymore
Her brother had put the music off
There was absolute silence
Except for the lone eagle which hovered above the house roof
The shadow grew bolder and taller
In its crookedness it moved along with the wind and the one beneath the stool
Soon, Robin heard her mom, calling out her name, shaking her vigorously
Wake up, wake up my baby
So, even today you slept away on the float, no swimming happened for two consecutive days, now wipe off that drool off your face
Robin woke up, was in cold sweats in the month of December
And happy to see the crooked shadow
In all its loveliness, it was the tall leafless tree, moving along the wind
And the stool, it lay where it was
Under the sun, of course making a shadow of its own

Framed Pretty into the four walls
All suited up

Hope - promises - dreams
Times to reminisce
Promises deceased
A new born hope
In its wishful steps
Frolicked to future
No time to rest

Dreams to seek
Promises to keep
Wishes unfulfilled
Uncertainty is a treat

Each day unveils
The calendar’s fate
Charming or tedious
Never to know
A delight,  it can be

Unkept promises
Tug at the heartstrings
Wishes and dreams
Have no expiration dates
Timeless unbound
Like the eternal springs

Lavender Ladder
I saw a lavender ladder
Parked against a freshly painted ivory-beige wall

Wonder how many men climbed
Up the lavender ladder
In blue overalls

Wonder what the lavender ladder saw
At the top
Was it witness to any falls

I want to break free
I want to break free
Free from my thoughts
I seek the words
No, they all go unheard
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free

I have tried too many times
The thoughts and the words both zoned out, they can’t keep time
God knows,
Knows that
I want to break free

It is strange but it’s true, HP
I have changed settings ( hide explicit to show) and can read many works, maybe all
God knows,
Knows that it’s true , HP
Irrespective of the content,
I can read , many and maybe all
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free, HP

I want to be sure,
When I walk out that door
I want the thoughts and words to abide
I can’t think of living without, living without
Thoughts and words by my side ....
God knows
Knows that I want to break free
Partly~ largely, most  certainly inspired by
Queen - I want to break free .

Lit lanterns
Lit lanterns
Lit up the lonely tree
The night knew its darkness
Was for all to see
For the lanterns, they knew
They lit what was to be seen
The tree
Forever, it knew

Rain’s on a day’s break
Rain’s on a day’s break
Clear blue sky, sun and shade
Warm sunlight shines through the curtains  sheer blue
Last night’s rain bathed the baby leaves, now gurgle with glee, atop the trees
The pigeons tap dance on the window ledge to the soft sighs of the breeze
It's beautiful when the rain’s on a day’s break

Beads and crystals

An inspiration
Is a source
A memory
Moments from the past
Remembered today
A moment happens
Every moment to pass
Beads and crystals
As one can collect
Beading into time
The inspiration
Of present
A rare
Ornamental piece
Way forward
Into the future
The chain links
The past becomes a part of the present
Beads and crystals
Forever

Village Scene

Smoke billowing from the bonfire
Velvet yellow blanket, fields of marigolds
The villages have an old world charm
Vast greens and farmlands
Thatched roof houses
The cattle in the shed, sounds of rustic trucks
The tractor on the farm
Farmers in uniforms, toil and till their land
Fresh and pure the air to breathe
Happy
Shades of green, in their eyes gleam


🌿🌿
Inspired by the villages and farmlands

Today it’s been three years, since I first penned my thoughts
To this day, it remains special
Thoughts and words
Happy and sad
Reasons and none
Expressing them all
Happy to have found a place to share them too
Gratitude
Thank you all!!

Be limitless
Whiling away
Comes easy
Trying takes a lot of trying

Don’t ever quit
You have immense potential
Believe in yourself

Express and communicate
Your fears your beliefs
It’s freeing a relief

Regrets and progress
Part of the process
Of finding true self

Be limitless

As they are
Words sliced
Diced and cubed
In a skewer
Some went into the stew
Chomp them away
Serve them chilled
Or slightly spiced
Many like theirs
Just on the rocks
Some like them sweet
Bitter there is no choice
To swallow and yet not wallow
Never once, forget twice
Words have a flavour of their own
How do you like yours
Grilled with the right spice
Maybe plain
Sans any dressing
Yeah, some like it minced
Each to their own
Words on the platter
Served just right
I like it raw uncut
Organic, fresh from the farm
Sometimes
Well done on both the sides
One can wish as one wants
Priceless the words
As ordered and served fine

Magic slate
And, they were mere words
Language understood by few
Fewer, read emotions
The heart, remains red
The wall clean,
erased
And again,
just words

Endurance
She sought answers from the stone
Long stood erased in the sun
Day after after day
Until, rains washed away the pain of sunburns
The stone lay cold
That’s all it knew
Be it rain or scorching sun
And one fine day
Folded hands she bent in reverence
The stone knew the answers
And now
She knows it too

Open your heart to some people
         - The arteries go choke-a-block
       Open your heart to some others
                - Surgery they perform
                  - Bypass or stent

  Choice is all yours
All good,  just some thoughts in words :)

Just about Nothing
There is nothing
That everything can’t be found from
Nothing to you, could be the world to someone
Nothing and Something maybe they are related
Maybe in turn to everything
Nothing is not alone in the world
Even the dictionary has something to say about nothing :)

Baby waves
Baby waves
Pretty
Holding hands with every molecule of their little hearts
Bubbling, gushing towards the shore
Mighty mama waves roar
Rush, with a lightning speed
And tuck in safe, the baby waves
Before they break onto the shore
Gurgling receding, pleading
Mama no Mama no
Mama let me go
No baby no
No, not yet
Alone
To the shore

A new day

At times doing nothing
Is doing it all
The sun is up, warm and bright
Spreading light
The birds, fly up together
And come down
The works of nature, clockwork
In nature
Every day has a night
To replace
Every day

Rays of hope and sunshine
Clarity in mind
Purity in heart
I seek with each passing thought

Revel in the revelation
Of weaknesses and strengths
Peace reigns within

Accumulating experiences
Imbued in the knowledge
That right and wrong coexist

Year after year
New and old
Blend in and grow apart

Lost and found
Forever in time
Rays of hope and sunshine
Happy New Year 🎉🎉

As the wind chimes
Thoughts in my mind
Vacillating
Wanting to unwind

Emotions felt
Heard by words

Neither vocalised
Nor rehearsed

Written and versed

In a rhyme
Back in time

Now and forever
As the wind chimes
Wishing and hoping everyone had a lovely Christmas
Greetings of the season to one and all on HP :)

Inspired by the new wind chime that I recently bought :)

Reels
I watch my problems away
Only to add more
I watch my problems away
When I am happy
And I want to watch more
I think I watch my problems away
Only to add more
Until the reel has taken over the real
The real problem is the reel
And I can never ever watch my problems away, once more…
I want to scrub them away
They keep piling on the floor
They know what I like
And want me to subscribe
No I am not a fool
No not twice
I know I can’t watch my problems away

Silver wings

Silver wings, magical bird
No flapping around
High fives the clouds
Nautical miles it scales
Many aboard, feel safe
In the bluest of blue skies, it peaks
Amongst the fluffy clouds
Freedom it seeks
Nose dives like a song
Silver wings, magical bird
Lands safe

The Trapeze Artist

The trapeze artist
Lithe and limber
Does aerial somersaults

At a height
Holds no fear
Swings in the air

Hands held
In ropes of hope
Bar to bar
Poles apart
They rise, not afraid of the fall

Birds of a feather
Predators and the preys
And
The dawn chorus
Everyone prays
When the sun starts to rise

The fake story

I refuse to read
The same fake story twice
The emotions overpriced

Each time I try to get familiar
With the many characters
Stranger they become

Permanently masked
Hollow faced
No place for a heart

No inferences to derive
Learnings flattened
Morally deprived

Once a learner
Slowed down by the bends
The fake story with no ends

Well
Took a shallow breath
From a shallow depth

Narrowed eyes
From the narrow thought process

Living in a well
Limited space, imagination

Little significance
It held in a unfathomable world

A shallow breath, depth
Limited thought process
Some odd thoughts

Confetti Leaves
Deciduous trees stand side by side
Branches entwined
A crow couple, cozied up on a high branch
And the sun shone upon the two
The morning light, a beautiful sight
Below I stood, watching the two
As the brown leaves fell like confetti
Smiling in hues
A great start to my day :)
Have always loved those trees, close to a grocery which i frequent :)
And today the crows and the morning sun added to the beauty:)

Through…
Flipping through the pages
Of yesteryears
There is a special silence
Which permeates

History is someone’s story
The past
Construed in the future
Narrated to the young

Lost in the haze of yesteryears
Flipping through the pages of yesterdays
A soft hum of the past
Into silence permeates

The Sun

Should the sun ever express
How it feels to give its light to every being
How it loves to see, the children in parks
With sparkling eyes
The river and the sea, with a golden sheen
The motes that freely float in every beam
Does the sun beams a knowing smile and feels alive
When it sees and feels the new leaves
Gaining strength and growing big
Under its warmth and care
Should it ever say and quietly express
How happy it feels every day
To rise and be awake
And give hope to every being
And the tiny leaves
Gaining strength, growing tall
The trees softly speak
As the lush leaves shimmer and shine
Giving shelter and home to the birds and the bees
The sun knows its worth
And knows what it is to rise and shine
And give hope to every being

How does this now stays

Torrential July
Each and every step
Is soaking wet
The roads to trees
Stand still

The bark of the trees
Little do they speak

Soft and coarse brown
Peeling skin

Losing limbs to the pelting rain

It is July what to expect
Traffic snarls
Red to orange
Green alerts

Overcast skies
Overflowing dams
Unbridled seas
rivers no more discreet

Tuning into the 90’s
Good old memories
And the sunlight

Messy kitchen
Overworked dishwasher
And the tales

Post the storm
The sunbird feeds
On the nectar sweet

Do’s and don’ts
Followed to the T
Time for a test ride

Circular the wheel
Life is a tease
Moves on and spins
