Eyes behold prismatic dreams
giggling through innocent childhood laughter
unadulterated!
Until, the sentinels of society
clip the creative artistry
tainting her beautiful life’s canvas
with strokes of insipid hues.
Dusk paints the horizon with amethyst hues
chirpy birds flock back to their nests.
In anticipation, I scamper to the fields
to peer across the setting sun,
drenched in impassioned hope
to see my father’s silhouette walking back,
from the war.
I dream of him all the time
lifting me up, in his strong arms,
tickle my funny bone,
regale me with his stories of valor.
But like every other evening, I walk back alone,
distraught.
I imprison my tears beneath the disguise of fortitude,
so that my defeated eyes never let them out.
People say I am the daughter of a brave soldier!
Entrenched in a veil of misunderstanding,
our relationship treads on a path of frailty.
Tremors of raucous feelings erupt
whorls of pain rives my soul.
I hold on to the scraps of buried memories
imprisoning the unsaid words, within the fortress of my heart.
I tether firmly to the cord holding us together,
hoping one day,
the clamor of the incredulous mind clears.
Petals of integrity unfurls its magic
to rekindle the lost affinity, with a blossom of love!

Ruling the glamour industry
much sought after face
sashaying across the ramp
basking in all the adulation
stardom felt eternal.
Spotlight shifts focus
today, my face is a mere poster on the wall with graffiti.
Forgotten, as tides of time change.
I try to chase the elusive limelight,
only to realize,
fame is like a sparkler
burning till the light fades
transient!
The corporate world beckoned me with propitious propositions
with a cache of dreams, wrapped with sincere efforts
I embarked on the journey in earnest pursuit,
the promise of a bright future, calling out loud.
With time, the grooves of stress deepened
harried life style became a way of life
work life balance, was on a precarious edge
frustrated sighs detonated to anguished screams.
Reflecting on the aftermath of an emotional detritus
I collected the scattered fragments of myself.
Infused with a renewed vigor to start afresh,
I tread on the road less traveled, with a leap of faith!

Spanning horizons, arched across skies in a spectrum of hues lit up by sun beams, magical ephemeral chalked translucent blue skies, a covenant of love after floods.
The iridescent colors greet the prismatic beauty of dawn with a sublime embrace, the halcyon zephyr sprinkles glossy dew drops of verdure reflection.
The cosmic intelligence chiselled a raindrop murmuring melodic drips with a stem cradling a satin leaf, clasping gems to reveal something of itself betwixt an atmosphere of solace.
Whispering arcane secrets of the night, the pearly crystal beads pirouette, kissing the tender buds, gently cascade into the bosom of infinity.
Raging, crashing torrents by the technicolour sphere, bubbling, foaming, gushing down into the ravine, spurting upwards, spraying aqua flickered into air; turning to tears melting and trickling down soaked cheeks of drowning waterfalls.
In solitude, amidst the confluence of the boundless benevolence of the realms of eternity, the sacred sacrament of nature, the embryonic soul experiences a divine catharsis.
The scientific intellect looks at precision
creative mind perceives art
amalgam of concrete and abstract
conceptualises a strong foundation
of parallels and perpendiculars.
Angles and planes work in tandem
with radius, degrees and arches.
Measured definitude of intersecting lines
formulate symmetric congruence.
Scalar dimensions constructed
permutations and combinations decoded
functionality and aesthetics merge
to conceive and design
an architectural marvel!
In response to Eugenia’s BrewNSpew Cafe prompt : Supernatural
Clad in a shadowed white
she walked through the closed door
for a midnight sojourn.
Her eerie silence echoed
jolting me abruptly from my slumber.
Sweat trickled down my brow
awakening me to a chilling fear
weird shrills pierced the dark hollow of the night
the nocturnal silhouette gifted me a red rose
numbing my senses in a haunting web.
The next morning,
I rubbished the incident
as a nightmarish hallucination,
but as I turned over
there lay a red rose next to me!
Verdant patches of lush foliage greet me,
on a drive across the countryside
the landscape adorns itself
in boundless hues of green
the once dusty wilted stems
paled under the scorching heat
now comes alive.
Soaked and satiated,
the trees swing in gay abandon.
The showers from heavenly skies
grace the earth with magic, as
the rains sing a pleasant melody
called the song of nature!
