Dreamer: A Poem by Manisha Amol


Donning a resplendent glisten in the eyes,
Infectiously magnetic and a broad radiant smile,
Exuberant expressions set to conquer the world,
Desirable and a passionate
a dreamer he turned!

The previous night was laden with an awakening dream,
Thoughts were detangled in a fresh new realm,
Decluttered mind prodded with silent utterances,
Resurrecting new aspirations with no hindrances!

Awoke to a bright new morning,
The amazing wonders of nature inhaling,
Igniting within a new ray of hope,
Ready to tighten the loose ends of life’s rope!

Heart full of gratitude and a contended soul,
With a burning desire to reach his goal,
Encamped with the feeling of undying optimism,
Crushing the mountains of fear-filled negativism!

Was moving on the pathway to meet his soulmate,
Myriad hues of colorful petals strewn on the way,
A potpourri of emotions bundled up together,
To embrace with delight what life had to offer!

A stranger: A poem by Preeti S Manaktala

Image
On a quest to search you—  many questions still remain unanswered. You, a stranger, an enigma and mystical.  I wonder who you really are? Not again, don’t step into my thoughts. Shall I let go of my quest, as you seem too far. You stir my being, question my journey. I long to touch you, you the stranger!  Shall I seek you through the Northern lights? Or see your light in the Fireflies?  Experience your wrath in the Volcanoes  Or your myriad colors through a Rainbow!  You are inaccessible like Moon the stars.  Folklore says I must tread Mount Kailash. Crying and yelling, I even searched for you on my dad's funeral. But now, I find you everywhere!! I feel you in the raindrops. I feel you in the breeze. I feel you through the sun rays. When I close my eyes in ecstasy, I, finally feel you within me...!

Born Again: A poem by Gomathi Mohan

Image
Born to doting parents on a chilly winter noon,  Grew up with four siblings, life was like a boon.   Then came an abrupt end to all my idle fooling,  Born again to lessons, as they started my schooling.  Thought had grown up, now that I was in college,  Born again to lectures, busy acquiring knowledge.  Got a job to my relief, set about to make a career,  Born again despite the whims of bosses every year.                    Married, now that I was grown up, happy to be released,  Born again, at my new home, with many to be pleased.  Then came my li'l Angel, happy the cycle had ended,  Born again as a parent, on us,  she wholly depended.  Finally put in my papers,  wanting to be an idyll,  Inner self, however, wanted my passion to unbridle.      Born again a writer, having found my Muse,  Loving it every bit, a life I got to choose. A space of my own where my soul finds repose,  Penning away as mind dictates,  poetry or prose.  In and out of stages, bor

The book of my life: A poem by Richa Srivastava

Image
It looks just like 'ordinary' as the word is... No shiny wraps to cover its face... Simple as it looks, But every page has a hook for taking another look. Be gentle when you flip its page You'll find some imperfect perfect moments at every stage.. Don't skip a few... for it bores you... You might miss  my  accomplishments, tucked away neatly in a line or two...   They say, ' Life  is not a bed of roses'  You'll see... Some lines are full of agony and bruises... Turn the corners delicately... For some fragile smiles may try to slip through, impatiently... Every line that you have read... ..Is the truth I have always dread... It's not me that you read... it's  my  soul that you've reached! That's not all!  You heard me right! The best is yet to arrive! Its the journey I have been through, Like a roller coaster ride,  This is, This is... "The  book  of  my   life ".
