~ Potential Possibility… ~ 

☆

In the darkness I behold a ray of light

Through closed lids, stars shine bright

Even in the darkest catastrophic night

A luminous spark remains a gentle sight

*

The blackness shudders then transforms

Turquoise green and myriad wistful forms

Countless rainbow hues emerge in sight

Dawn’s blush dusk’s soft whisper in light

*

Through unseen skylights hope pours in

Relentless quiet yet forever ready to win

For time cannot steal what effort gains

Nor darkness swallow hope’s true refrains

*

In all its possibility light finds its way

A persistent glow that chases the gray

Even sinister darkness is never absolute

For in its heart a spark of light is ever true

~ Elixir of Life… ~ 

☆

“When the body tires, the pen heals.

When silence deepens, creativity breathes us back to life.”

Elixir of Life — a poetic awakening that stirs the sleeping soul and mends the torn threads of our existence, rejuvenating the entire continuum of life.

~~~~~~~~

Rest… hit the bed…

Remain in slumber…

Even if it breaks — keep lying…

*

Through the sleepy night…

Even if you wake up early,

Don’t ever touch the pen…

Such stirrings tear the pores,

Disturb the body’s wellbeing…

*

The lifeline fragments —

Rebukes of loved ones,

Familiar faces, subtle warnings,

The doctor’s counsel —

Unceasing, relentless advice…

*

After a few moments of silence,

I quietly rise, empty my mind —

Trapped in a cage,

Like a soul within a parrot,

Holding, like a mythical being,

My eternal life-force…

*

I lift my pen — the lifeline,

And begin to write… and write…

Letters fall like droplets —

Torn pores start resurrecting…

*

The body reconciles…

Life returns to the flesh…

With open eyes, I witness

A magical rejuvenation —

As my sagging soul

Becomes whole again…!

~ Lifeline… ~ 

☆ 

 Rest… hit the bed…

Remain in slumber…

Even if it breaks — keep lying…

* 

Through the night…

Or if you awake early…

Do not touch the pen…

These moments — tear the pores,

Disturb the body’s account.

 *

The lifeline fragments…

Of loved ones, familiar faces…

The doctor’s instructions —

unceasing, relentless advice…

 *

After a few moments of utter silence,

I quietly rise…

Trapped in a cage —

like a soul in the parrot,

Holding, like a mythical being,

its eternal life-force…

 *

I lift my pen, the lifeline

And begin to write…

Letters fall — like droplets…

Torn pores start mending…

 *

The body reconciles…

Life returns to the flesh…

With open eyes — I witness

a magical rejuvenation,

And my sagging lifeline…

becomes whole again..!

~ Eternal Slumber… ~ 

☆

Nights drift by, shrouded in the memory’s haze

Winters of silence to summers of longing’s daze

*

Seasons ebb and flow, yet the old pain remains

Rains wash over, but the deep stains bring pains

*

From the frayed threads of memory, a spell’s spun

Memories tremble, whispers of stories yet undone

*

Your gentle hands unravel words, a quizzical gaze

I stitch throbbing heartbeats in love’s mystic maze

*

Each seam a vow, each silence a promise sealed

Holding it until the all the deep wounds healed

*

When memory’s last strand slips into endless night

I’ll cast away my façade, taking soul’s final flight

*

In eternal slumber, I’ll eventually find my final rest

Unburdened, cradled, forever in love’s sweet nest

~ Lonely Memories… ~ 

☆

Once rivers of words would endlessly flow,

Even sleepless nights would swiftly go…

*

An epoch has passed since laughter shone,

Now darkness reigns, in silence alone

*

Those endearing chatter that had no end,

Now lies silent as the echoes suspend…

*

Days still arrive with the faintest light,

But nights unveil my somber plight

~ Embraced Hearts… ~ 

☆

In your absence, shadows mystically collide,

An aching silence haunts as memories glide

*

My heart beats faint, somber and torn apart

Yearning still for you—the keeper of my heart

*

Your gentle touch once sparked a sacred fire

A gentle peace, my soul’s cherished desire

*

Through sleepless nights, now I bow and pray,

Longing to hear your footsteps come my way

*

Though miles divide, and distance grows wide

But love’s steady flame shall never subside

*

I hold you close to my heart in a sacred space,

Time moves on —yet our hearts do embrace

~ Ghostly Shadows… ~ 

☆

In a quiet placid room dark and deep

I chase a silence that steals my sleep

*

A restless ache wriggles in my chest

A truth I know but can never accept

*

My pulse betrays yet holds me near

As a hollow reverberating echo I hear

*

Alive without you —in a cruel disguise

A scar concealed from the waking eyes

*

Each heartbeat burns relentlessy slow

Your absence enrages the life, I know

*

I move out but the dreams take flight

As they hide in shadows of the night

*

Your soul still lingers on these walls

A ghost answers, whenever love calls

*

My voice returns in vain clearly defined

Many relics carved in mind, well outlined…!

~ Conscience… ~ 

☆

Can anyone ever tie up the

fragrant gust of blustery wind

Can anyone ever alter the course

of a turbulent raging river

*

At every step my guide misled my

caravan, turning into a plunderer

Can anyone mislead path of someone

Whom destination itself guides

*

The yachtsman deserted my boat on

pretext of some impending storm

Can anyone sink the boat of someone

who is an indomitable braveheart

*

One who has a craving for the liquor

searches fiercely for the tavern

Can intoxication of wine ever lure

the one who’s inebriated with life

*

People shed their life and morality

chasing love and worldly beauty

Can any human beauty entice the one

deeply enamored with divine love

*

Everyone is mortally scared in

this world of dreadful fears

Can worldly fear ever touch the one

who fears none but his conscience
