The Evening sky

the evening rolled over the plain,
a lithe lady bathed in orange light,
letting my edgy nerves settle
as I fall in her welcoming arms,
the leaves rustle in envy
and the air awaits the next move -
the wedding of orange robes
with the iconic dark night,
it happens, every day, the same way
and I am forgotten by them both
till I cry with my bleeding fingers,
a verse like this,on nature,for nature.

Voice

She was careful not to let her hood slip from her slender frame. Its a mistake, her sister had said in carefree tone, but she still had come . Hugging herself tight for a moment , she let herself enter the spotlight. She felt herself free as her voice filled the packed halls for the first time.

Don't forget to remember

Remember
not once
but every passing day,
how words have lifted,
your spirits,
your smiles,
in times
of cold silence,
laced with heaving
moments
of loneliness.

Remember
not once
but every passing day
to ponder
and spread
the same words
and few more
to souls around,
we all need
validations alike.

Reasons

The dream of new dresses was turning dismal while the image of her luscious body too faded in comparison to food on table.He knew she needed better reason to lose weight.While she waffled such thoughts in her diary,he made a pass at her best friend.The gym membership was renewed next day.

Written for G-Man's friday flash55 , 3WW

PS : This happens to be my 55th post :D

G-Man

you read it right.
Its not "He-Man" (liked him as a kid),
now I prefer reading G-Man over him.
There is not an idle moment on his blog,
nor a tale that can not be told.
come Friday,the nagging ideas pace in head,
till some tale,for him, is finally penned.

This is dedicated to G-Man and his friday flash fiction.

Plum blossom

Plum blossoms softly

the hardship comes to lie down

hope echoes in life

Purple bloom

tiny fingers clench,
purple blooms,prodding the pine
faint smiles fill the air

envision the peace,
waves in motion,sand in feet,
hold the dream,hold me.

The deep blue stretch
painted to implicate a storm -
yet a cause for peace.

He - she - Love

जो मिले नहि कभी राहों में
आज मिलते हैं इक दूजे की बाहों में
सपनों का जिनको शौक ना  था
आज कहते हैं खुदा से , सच हो हर  दुआ  ..

(This is specially for Ibeingme )

Translation:

they never crossed
each other's path
yet today they stay
in each other's heart;
they never dared
to cherish a dream
yet whisper prayers
to make love happen still.

And now to the 3WW poem :

He illustrates love

not with red roses

that she might falsely like;

but with sallow leaves

handpicked from the way

she likes to be green.

Peace at a price

Why we need
to know voilence,
to be rattled;
before we seek
the calmness ?

will I last ?

will I last all days ?
Its something
I stopped asking
a long time back;
time now lacerate
the passion to pen,
ripe ideas tempt me but
I do not comprehend;
I simply say to myself,
make it fun,
make this count;
read and write,
with dignity and pride;
make friends as you walk
spread words while you last.


This is the first thing that popped in ym head as I chanced upon Octpowrimo challenge . No way I can write 31 poems but I can sure try my best.

Deserving lovers

She wished to be together
given any chance,
and yet
there she was,
he was some place else;
she wished to hold him forever
entice him with words
or actions
whatever that might work,
yet he was somplace else;
she understood today
she could have followed him
and yet
here she is
savoring the love of one,
who deserves her,here and now.

Me , the Island-ed

Nestled in your arms,
my heart seeks absolute peace
solitude falls in place
