I Await You!

Like a coarse tiny vapor

arrested amidst the black clouds

fighting tough to reach out

waiting to be sculptured

into a beautiful white pearl!

Like an unborn dream

in the womb of the heavens

traversing through crests and troughs

seeking for a worthier doer!

Like the darkest hour before dawn

waiting to bathe in the orange light

to exempt all grief amalgamated over night

and zealous to start anew!

Like an eternal prayer of all souls

of hope and happiness

and of love and madness

waiting to be ascertained by the one above!

Like the other half of crescent moon

counterpoised by the beholder

owing to the radiance of it's better half

waiting to aglow to it's full glory!

I Await You!

 

I Dive Deep, into the Sea of Emotions...

I Dive Deep

into the Dark Sea of Emotions...

To Bring forth

the Pearls of Life

lying scattered everywhere!

To Travel along

the Islands of Joy

Spreading Smiles in Spares!

So that I could

Pour My Love

in the Glass of The Universe

until it Fills and Spills

and Falls back onto Me!

I Dive Deep

into the Sea of Emotions...

not because I'm Weak

but because I LIVE!

Little Girl

 
A Little Girl I know
Naive, just four
Her Innocence’s ever charming
Her Sweetness names her a darling.
She has a crystal clear soul
O! She’s purer than the pure!

She dances out in the rain
Her tiny feet twirl and part
She sings aloud in her garden
To the tunes of her heart
Without much ado
To the eyes discerning her.

Life is fair to her
As are grandma’s fairy tales
The world is good at large
As her doll house entails.
She’s papa’s boy
She’s mama’s girl
Her aura brimming with love
Unaware of the tide, yet to unfurl.

For she couldn’t fathom
The endless worries
her mother’s eyes emanate
Neither the protective ways
her father resonates
All she wants is
To grow up, to grow big, very big
Like her Mama
So that she could fit in
In her high heeled shoes
(very pretty they are, to her).

Innocence is so much vulnerable,no?

To Sparrow, with Love

I remember the times O Sparrow
When I was young and you were little
Days began with your rhythmic chirrups
And evenings spoke of my innocent twiddles.

Your nest was an oft visited place
During playtime in sunny weather
I was amazed at the way you sewed it all
Twigs and yarns and feathers.

My garden was more beckoning
When you sang there with your troop
Daffodils and Butterflies danced
And I fostered you with drupes.

I daily gazed at the eternal sky
And watched you fly high ,in blue extremes
Your vigor,your freedom and your abiding bustle
Intrigued me to live my Dreams.

I remember the times O Sparrow
When a storm struck us both
You coped up the next day ,I heard your song
It rejuvenated, my heart and hope.

You often came and sat by my verandah
And were ne’er afraid of me
You made my ambience cheerful
And I just loved your very being!

Ah! But O little birdie, where have you
disappeared now?Long time,no see!
I just miss your soulful songs
and I JUST MISS THEE!

 
PS: The House Sparrow is now a disappearing species.To raise an awareness among people,World Sparrow Day is observed every year on March 20th(It started in 2010only).The theme for this year is :"Chirp for the Sparrow,tweet for the Sparrow".

The Eloquent Silence

Here as I stand on the kerb of my balcony,
Forlorned, wretched ,as if a woe betide.
Venturing to unravel the bizarre cacophony,
Of the reapers and the sailors ,of the tits and the tides.

The pluvial pearls pattering the floor,
Songbirds crooning hitherto to azure.
And the quavering foliage whispering in my ears,
Crescending the tumult, the windy veers.

Townies trundling , Oh! the tittle-tattle meet,
Kids making merry, boys strumming down the streets.
Hawkers howling at the vortex of the voice,
Adding to the bongo, the banger device.

Even the artefacts ,the clock ,ticking at pace,
The wind chimes jingling ,perhaps struggling in the race.
Then the phone bell ranged ,oaf, another cry,
And there in the kitchen ,the vent blew high.

Ah! all judders ..hammering my tympanum,
Be it whispers, slurps,ditty or hum.
For everything is sonorous ,and everyone has to aver,
Save two in the milieu ,the quietus ever.......

Quietus ever , I couldn’t make out why?
All seasons ,all occasions , tacit and shy.
Perhaps abstaining ,from escalating the symphony,
Or are the sole listeners , of all enigma, all euphony.

But silence is also the veneer of noise,
Eventually thwarted ,revealed in disguise.
Still they are mute, subdued ,and might remain to be,
The Saviour the Mighty ,and the Solitary Me………..

 
PS:This is one of my older writes.Just wanted to post it here!

Late at night,Life revived

LOST,Late at night
Through the window in the right
I espy the umpteenth aura
Of shimmering species
Smouldering within
Yet sedating enough
Bedecking the purple sky!
ORION,the HUNTER
Delves in my SOLITUDE!

On spur of the moment
A silky zephyr
Gushes across my being
Emancipating all thoughts
Of hope and happiness
Of fear and sadness
And of dreams and madness
Taking all my turbulence away!

The vastness of the blue meadows outside
Intrigue me to explore the vastness within
I close my eyes a little for a while
And all I could feel
Is a SOUL dyed BLUE
So seemingly to the azure above
Dark.Empty.Obscure.
and then out of the blue
“Make it luminous”,
I heard HIS voice
“Beautify the world inside
And thus the beholder outside !
WINS and FAILURES are like
Blue-black clouds
Appearing,Disappearing
Ever-changing
Kindle your soul
With eternal brilliance of STARS
of LOVE and of VALUES
And thine shall shine forever !"

I breathed out heavily
HE is right conceivably!
I ogled again
At the blue-gray sky
tip turned my eyes a bit
And the ORION now appeared
More like a BUTTERFLY !
Strange!
I embraced it with a welcoming smile
And the first thought
That immediately occupied my mind
“The world isn’t that bad girl
Neither is life !
just shape-shift your perspective a bit ."

I'm an Ordinary Man!

Plain
Simple
Common
Mediocre
Unsophisticated
I'm an Ordinary man!

With small fortune
and equally small ability
I take Life
as it comes
making joyous compromises
each day
every moment
I'm an Ordinary man!

I'm not perfect
Neither do I have an extra-ordinary talent
I'm no stylish,no special
my heart doesn't desire much.
I have my warts and weaknesses
in full acceptance
Slow and stupid
many a times
I'm an Ordinary man!

My world is narrowly confined
to the immediate ambience
where I often cultivate
broad-mindedness.
I have a small family
and few friends
I love them a lot
they love me too
I'm an Ordinary man!

I'm unnoticeable in the crowd
unobserved I travel down the paths
I'm never a 'centre of attraction'
I'm seldom highlighted
or paid attention
I'm an Ordinary man!

I do not always know
which way to go
my dreams are little
my prayers big
I take second chances
but not too many 'risks'
I'm an Ordinary man!

I say no to tyranny
to power
to things unethical
of which
I'm the ultimate sufferer
Very calmly I intake
all injustice
without any resistance
'coz I'm an Ordinary man!

The mere absence of sadness
makes me happy
I'm astouded
by natural beauty
I can be innocent
and simultaneously wise
I'm living a very ordinary life
I'm an Ordinary man!

I do not have a vision
Or a purpose dignified
I live life on the daily basis
Trying to push things in hand
A little up
A little higher
every moment
so as to 'not lose'
Seeking happiness
in small little pleasures
trying best
not to be unkind
I’m an ordinary man!

Unknown,Unspoken
Unlamented I'll die one day
My name will not be etched
anywhere in space and time
'cept in the hearts of few akin
I’m an ordinary man!

But I'm not alone you see
there are many,untold like me
living a tiny
yet satisfying life
Plain
Simple
Common
Mediocre
Unsophisticated
Happy
Contented
ORDINARY!

My sorrows are all mine alone...

You share your happinesses with me,
I'll augment it manifold
You reel off your pain
I'll try to lessen the cold.

I'll also share my joys with you
If you do not at all mind,
but my sorrows are all mine alone
'un-said' and perhaps 'un-confined' !

She DIED….

She cried
No one bothered
She screamed
No one heard.

She was bruised
No one cared
Her happinesses even
ebbed unshared.

She tried to explain
No one understood
Her eyes all swollen
No one ever looked.

She even wrote
Alas! no one read
Elusive emotions
Remained unsaid.

Then one day
out of the blue
When ‘grey’ became
‘blackish hue’
She DIED….
(Yes ,an early demise…
No,it wasn't a suicide )

She DIED
And Everybody
Sympathized
(‘ poor soul ’,
they hyped)

WHY?
Tell me
WHY?

Happy Friendship Day

Hello Blogosphere,

Mine sincere and heartfelt wishes for you all on this friendship day.Stay happy,stay blessed.Well, I believe a friend is "one of the nicest things you have and one of the best things you can be" .So,

Here's a small poem from my side exclusively for all mine blogger friends.

"Though we have never watched

laughter ripples

across each others face

or huddled close

in moments of pain

or wiped off

each others tears

or walked together

on an endless road

or blathered

for hours unknown

Still, you are my friend.

I hold a space for you

In this world

For

I honour the universe

That lives within you

For inspiring me always

I'm grateful to you.

I count the blessings

You bestow on me

I value the time

You devote for me.

I appreciate the words

you encourage me with.

I acknowledge the manner

you correct me,forthwith.

And above all
I love the way

you make me feel

your tender care

rejuvenates my zeal.

For all this

and much more

I sincerely

thank

thee.

Thank you for being there

Always!"

~Saumya :)

Once again,

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY

Love you all :)

LOVE

Love kindles just unexpectedly
and nurtures with no expectations.
It is quintessence of holiness
semblance of sacrifice
immortal ,unpretentious
it is 'beauty' epitomized.

They say we fall in love,O ne'er
we just suddenly begin to 'rise'.

'Tis far above the heavenly abode
far beneath the secrets of our soul
and wherever the two coincide
is the fount of love
perhaps origin of life.

And I wouldn't be wrong if I surmise,
'GOD' is nothing but LOVE personified.
