Waiting at the threshold in anticipation,
as the final page of the calendar turns,
shadows of the year slowly fade,
to be blanketed under the duvet of the setting sun.
We reflect on the year gone by,
ready to usher in the new year.
As the midnight bells ring, we pray for,
A new beginning,
filled with hope and happiness
for a better tomorrow!
May the year 2023 bring in all things good for you and your family.
Happy New Year to all !
Our love blossomed floral foliage,
resplendent with vernal scents.
Animated hearts hummed sanguine tunes,
life reveled under a canopy of euphoria.
And then windmills of change rattled a strife,
a squall of distrust blew whorls of inky smoke
suffocating me in virulent fumes.
Fidelity eclipsed felicity,
my bruised heart bled red.
I patched up my wounded heart with a promise
to let it remain vacant forever.
I break free from the molds of frivolous expectations of people
I refuse to taste the bitter burnt flavors of words tossed at me
I let go of my servitude to be responsible for other’s happiness
I disallow the societal malice to flow into my veins
I distance myself from the clan believing in narrow mindedness
I liberate myself from living on borrowed peace and teary emotions
I solemnly promise my fidelity to drawing the blue print of my life
Chiselling and sculpting my path on my terms
Engraving my signature on it, celebrating “ME”!
V. J’s weekly challenge: ” What pulls on your soul?”
Away from the rut of the mundane
as the wandering thoughts settle,
clouds of chaos dissipate
when all the noise is silenced,
I sit alone by the sparkling blue ocean
watching the tidal waves ebb,
soaking me with candid conversations,
washing away my wistful woes.
The nascent rays of dawn
usher in a promise of hope.
I hear their unspoken words.
The sublime sounds of solitude
wrap my soul in a tranquil embrace.

Dark clouds of disappointment looms large
tears get camouflaged in the rains
the sombre sky sings a melancholic tune.
But fret not O mind! For I know
tomorrow, a ray of hope peeps in at dawn
ushering in a promise of a new day
drying the tears and painting the clouds white
as the sun embraces the horizon
the world smiles under its dazzling glow.
Unannounced attack
invisible enemy
global pandemic
an uphill battle
animated deeds of grace
unified efforts
buoyant humankind
ushers promise of new dawn
renewal of hope
Eugi’s weekly prompt : Renewal
Passionate verses resonated
under the glowing moonlight
inked in eternal fonts
profusing love.
Sadly,
the bubble of euphoria burst
as his broken promises
crumbled her world,
left her bereft of emotions.
His hollow words echoed
as empty feelings enveloped,
desolate evenings haunted her
the heart bled tears, consuming her
in an emotional pyre!
