monsoon breeze
in the birdsong
through the jasmines
reaching out to me
this endless circle of life

listening
to the sounds of an afternoon
how it sinks
all the paper boats
one by one

The Quiet Before

Beneath

hush of thoughts,

silence of an eclipsed mind paces-

Like those medieval paintings

serene, still, lost in time.

A moment

never to be retrieved,

endless-

this spiral, wherever I go.

 

By the brooks,

by the creeks,

unrest lingers in the calm

almost fading the bright of sun-

The sky cloaked in grey,

as if holding the storm

yet to begin.

the 'I' in me

Introducing my new blog- aswordsfly.com

 I have always enjoyed writing, reading and, poetry just came along the way. Never thought I would ever love poetry like this but here I am. There's not a single day without poetry.

I have a blog now dedicated to writing. If you happen to come across this post, I would be happy if you have a glance on my other blog. Although, still at the beginning, it has articles and the thoughts that I wanted to share that is not just the poetry. 

I like to learn, evolve and kind of like simplicity as it takes a lot to stay simple and authentic. So, I will be writing what comes to my mind. 

Here's the link-

Hope you have awesome time reading and basking in the warmth of words :)

Happy to have my poem featured in Sonic Boom VISPO Gallery 2023.

Thank you dear judges- Shloka and Robin 

DRIED RIVER

 One glance at the pebbles and stones and it felt as if they knew where they have always belonged, even though lying around the waiting river sunken to time. And I pondered for a long while how simply nature takes its course and how long I have been away from this realization.
