Of Passions I Own

Sensing and yearning allure of daydreams
My musings amble in meadows of themes,
Sometimes wowing ebullience of dawning,
Sometimes luxuriating in moonlit evening
Gazing lambent skies of stellar twinkling,
Inviting me to echo my inner most feelings;

Of whispers romantic when love is courting,
Of giggling streams and blossoming springs,
Of resplendent autumn’s falling gilded leaves,
Of fate unkind, bawling, in throes of grief,
Of pristine joy beaming from mother’s eyes
Jubilant in delight of child’s innocent smile;
Of ebb and flow to life in seasons undulating 
Spurring me to attribute form and meaning.

So, I write verses stemming from core of soul
Striving to capture essence of elusive words,
Exploring assonance, even in rhymeless prose,
Attempting to inspire spirit of wordless woes
As thoughts-poetic heart’s rhythms compose;

Of chromatic sunsets and scintillating dawns,
Of starless nights hosting tenebrous bygones,
Of tales strumming romance, of fables forlorn,
Of ideas enthroned, of paradigms bemoaned,
Of boundless expressions, of passions I own.

You do capture the essence of poetic words rendering in sublime and variant forms a wealth of substance and meaning! The wonders of our worlds. the complexities of our mundane issues do invite and inspire a poet of grandeur to "echo his inner most feelings " and "writes verses stemming from core and soul"! You are an amazing poet who owns a great passion for writing poetry! And it is always an honour and an immense pleasure to read you dear Vijay. God bless your beautiful soul. Best regards

Vijay it is obvious why you write Poetry conveyed by this wonderfully written Verse. Your Rhyming is perfect, the theme you have conveyed is unique, creative, and exceptional. Your phrases are formatted by only a writer with great creativity and passion. Your vocabulary is vast in expressing your thoughts and ideas, impressive to know. It is clear your knowledge of words would make the Webster dictionary jealous. A favorite my friend...
