Unspoken Words!

It’s been an year since I published my maiden poetry and haiku book titled “Eclectic Verses”. Thank you for the wonderful response and feedback many of you have shared with me. Sharing one of the poems from the book. Do read it if you haven’t done so as yet. Sharing the link for the book at the end.

At times silence speaks volumes

the sublime conversations

whispers the language of love

narrates the saga of implicit verses.

Eyes drown in your bewitching allure

the face buried in your lustrous tresses

the words unable to fathom the feeling

of those beautiful moments of silence.

Under the effulgent moonlight

the hearts wallow in the beauty,

with you, hand in hand

entwined with some unspoken words.

A girl by the window…

In response to Kat’s twittering tale #120, to write a tale in 280 letters or less.

Her debut novel ‘ A girl by the window’ catapulted Kaira from an unknown girl to a celebrity novelist. Now signing autographed copies of her book, her mind drifted back to the days when she sat by the coffee shop window observing people, where the idea of the novel was conceived.

Letter count: 280

What chapter are you writing tomorrow?

The book of life, lies by the window sill

the cool breeze flutters its blank pages

waiting to be inked with blue

of life stories day after day

till the journey ends at the grave.

 

The initial chapters are done, with no scope of editing.

Are you happy with that manuscript?

Does the draft of the forthcoming chapters need a quick revision?

How would you like to develop the story of your life further?

 

Would you like to include a few chapters of

Romance, drama, spirituality, emotions and adventure?

Do away with the mundane, to throw in elements of surprise.

Step out of your comfort zone to pump up the adrenaline.

Be a beacon of light to brighten the lives of fellowmen.

Narrate tales of bridges built or missions accomplished.

Fill it with burst of giggles and laughter, radiating cheer and happiness.

Impact with deeds of kindness and gratitude oozing out.

Erase the dull monochrome, to paint it in vibrant hues.

Script the ensuing chapters to follow your passion.

Redeem yourself of the past mistakes, with a second chance.

Episodes of daring to dream, confronting the challenges, championing a cause.

Learning to live each moment, than merely existing.

Create beautiful moments today, to believe in happy endings.

For tomorrow, when you look back

to read  the book of your life you authored,

 let it be a masterpiece!

The world today….

In response to secretkeeper’s weekly writing  prompt #123.  The challenge is to use the 5 words below in a poem or fiction.  This is the first time I am trying a Nonet.

War and terror reign supreme today

barbarous acts tarnish life

books painted with violent blood

the sun stands a witness

to a shriveled world

consumed by hate,

I, me, mine

evicts

love!
