~ The Sun… ~ 

☆

You may sink into the cosiest

of rooms, calling it cool comfort

Making temperatures dance

on your fingertips—

I call it mere illusion, a mirage…

 

You may coat your face with

layers of polish and grease

but the Sun will sear them off

like molten lava dripping

till your bare face surfaces…

 

I do not escape to shelters

I stand where the Sun blazes

Vertical, blinding, merciless…

 

Why to meet anyone in shades

Why not under the scorching zenith

When Sun spews its fiery venom

 

All masks melt

All lies shatter

And the truth remains exposed—

Raw, unbroken, unstoppable…!

Shri Vishwas Datye

~ Poems are for the weak at heart… ~  Shri Vishwas Datye

☆

All along so I thought

The beautiful trees

The singing bees

Could not see ‘cause was taught

The deep blue sky

The birds that fly

Existed only in some art

The burning coal within

The desires so thin

Life was like this I thought

The real meaning clashed

When my search flashed

Knew why I was here brought

The music sounds sweeter

I feel no more bitter

 

Poems are for the free at heart

Now that I am not up caught

~ 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
