Rizwana Bhurani Poem
HOPE
"Hope",a little birdie you,
Vanishes mostly in the blue
Stop hide and seek with me,
One day i" ll catch hold of thee.
Make you my best pal,
Live life in high morale.
Always arrives with glee,
For grief of all to flee.
Happiness is your patent expression,
Always ready with a good suggestion.
That doom,despair is temporary,
Faith should be your contemporary.
No giving up in difficulty,
Work on one's feasibility.
Every man has his life story,
Hardwork ,service brings glory.
Only difference is story varies,
Scale of odds in their prairies
Life's pathway is wavy,
Strength makes it all easy
Great men have fallen,
Umpteenth times life boat sunken.
Edison,Lincoln and more,
Perseverance led them ashore
To none ,you leave a scar,
To all you show a star
Indifferent to colors of men,
Equal treatment you have for them
Breath after breath is life,
Till last moment one should strive
When energy gives in,
"Get up", you come in
"No giving up is your outcry,
COME ON,you have to try"
A fraction of your presence,
Refuels my uplifting essence.
Life is full of adventure,
Make it a good venture
Positive will is what makes it,
Courage,kindness completes it.
P.S-Its my favourite poem.This poem was Homefeatured recently.

Crowning Glory
Mr Rose,welcome to this antique plexus,
It will for sure tickle your neuro plexus,
This exclusive table of veneer has a historical nexus,
Sandalwood modified in the grand factory of Texas.
Some pieces here do have a background mystical,
But this unique model with motifs has a glaze magical,
Multipurpose architecture,no doubt,it is usefully structural,
Crafted with engraved pattern as crown for beauty additional.
Two moderate sized shelves on both sides,
Have scope for things to store in wide,
Centered drawer for documents at handy inside,
With a plain table top to use with pride.
Well spaced top to write,eat and sit,
Water proof century exotica for so many things to fit,
I bet a deal no loss,all profit and benefit,
Just for more than 400 dollars to start to bid.
Moghul Emperor Akbar had it in his court,
Mirza ghalib renowned poet on it wrote,
Queen Elizabeth ,its flourescent key chains did note,
Monsieur,any other dealer many times than this will quote.

Rizwana Bhurani Poem
MAJESTIC BLUE
Mind blues in life makes things blurr
Dark phase comes because it has to go
The sufferer in me wants to mend her patch on her own
To turn as hard as iron ,a strong fighter
These moments come anytime out of the blue
I pray that it does not happen to anyone
Even once in a blue moon.
So dear,my blue patch has gone away
Sorry to keep away from you in this dark blue phase
Waiting for you makes me restless on this coastline
Solitary,,, away from Blue Bridge City humdrum
These blue emergent waves ascend endlessly
To meet the blue sky canopy above me
This ethereal blue canvas consoles my eyes
That wait eagerly for you
Oh dear! release me off the reigns of longing
In a blue gown adorning blue diamond accessory
Holding this blue bouquet of fresh blooming flowers-
Hyacinth,lilac,blue iris,blue orchids,blue bells
My love!my heart pines for thee.

Rizwana Bhurani Poem
Ga Ga over Green
This green parrot pecking the green coconut,
Under the shelter of long leafy huge tree,
sings ' Green de la Green'
On this velvet green bed, in the open, I lie,
I can feel green sucking my fatigue
Ooo la la,its a refreshing and healthy feeling,
These golden corn capsules atop the green field flutter,
The green grasshopper hangs around the green caterpillar,
Transparent pearly dew drops create an emerald green effect,
Green leaves had the honour to cover our predecessors,
Green Man of the Pagan period signified fertility,
My religion venerates peaceful green,
Green band of my country flag connotes hope,prosperity,
Green is pious,national,rejuvinating,,,,colour of life,
Ma ma mia,,I wanna sink into this green,
"O Green! ,unburden me,embrace me ,sanctify me",
Wake up world,save green and prefer to go green.
P.S-Green is connected tolife,youth and vitality.Ancient cultured Proto Indo Europeans got it started first.The word green is closely related to Old English verb "growan" means "to grow".

Rizwana Bhurani Poem
Lament of my life.
Destined life i lived but unfulfilled,
Much had to do,my tears spilled,
Down in white ,peaceful my body lies
Happy to meet God, invisible,my soul flies,
Earth,a stage,different roles to play on,
Multiple opportunities,life was a unique platform,
In responsibilities ,i was good enough,
To balance ,right wrong was indeed tough,
No regrets for family,money and claims,
Bad luck,unstable life my illness to blame,
To beat it, i was in armature , my second aim,
Hope for fellow sufferers,the damn disease i'll tame,
Like a bolt from the blue,unexpectedly it struck,
Trapped in the whirlpool,my mental energy to suck,
Family and friendship bonds anchored for support,
Still,for what reason, my forte got more to thwart?
Much for good,i would have given to the world,
A life of normalcy,a gift,if i had unfurled,
Alas! I could not explore galore,
My potential in the dark void did allure,
Missed the epic moment when i could be more than me,
My purpose in life would have got a meaning to be,
At the edge of life i did meet poetry soup,
Rare of a place,solely an encouraging,friendly group,
In dust,my body is unmoving, not frail,peaceful,it has no pains,
But on earth,personal vacuum haunts and fighting spirit remains.

Kith and Kin.
For them,people's time is not a waste,
For them,people's lives are important,
Peace lovers,they have awakened conscience,
Constructive activities they do together ,
Full of compassion,they are free,unarmed,
They dance to the tune of peace,
They are free men,with sound lungs,
They draw a long breath of peace,
promoting brotherhood,
With a brave heart,active mind
and free spirit,they embrace brotherhood,
Not less worth do they give to peace,
Selflessly they encourage kindness.
P.S- Back in the 18 century,the swords of Polish Legion supporting Lombardy were inscribed with an Italian phrase translated as "Free people are brothers".

Rizwana Bhurani Poem
Caterpillar falls.
The dawn from drunk consciousness,
awakes from the darkness of night.
An eagle stares at the back of wind,
then floats downstream till the current ends,
and dips its wings in the orange sunrays.
The caterpillar slips off a branch of tree
to land on the eagle's back.
Rustling trees chatter against the wind's brush off.
Nature holds so much in her lap,
The feeble pointed spikes of flowers
shift aside for the green snake to pass.
The forget me not plant
keeps its promise for the cricket.
Oh! It rains and the muggy air,
is cleansed by its gentle showers,
The loud croak of bull frog
match with drops of rain,
Empress Nature reigns her endless territory.
Contest-A Natural Metaphor.

Acoustic Guitar
My fingers dance on the slender body
I am harmoniously in love with it
It's always there to resonate my heart
I get drowned in its soft chords
Away from the world, in the parterre
We both go string labelling
With pronounced active pickups
It's semitones enter the fathoms of my soul
Contest-Music to my soul.

Black and White.(Snow leopard)
Black spots
on white
base are
large cats
that leap
and gift
dot prints
in vogue,
its seen
on clothes
and things
used by
us,thick
fur shields
us from
cold waves,
dark side:
sad that
they are
rare now,
less seen
in dense
green,save
them,care
for earth.

Bum Burns
In the nearby park Uncle Johnny
With a big full round tummy
Touched group of red ants
They ran up in his pants
Badly bit poor Johnny's bummy.
