Vijay Pandit Poet Rubaiyat

Song of Love and Joy

Song of Love and Joy

What tune is this that stems from heart,
The voice of soul love-vibes impart
To light that flame before too long,
Before love dies and passions part.

Sing now, sing, of her love stoked song
Let her feel, how there you belong,
In her domain that strums romance,
Where lyrics of love laud lifelong.

Waltz with allure of graceful stance,
Spin with tease of her stolen glance,
Stand not still as your dreams pass by,
Lure your life to a gracious dance.

Smile with the dawn that thrills blue sky,
Watch it thrive donning crimson dye,
Wear your joy while you trumpet life,
Snatch her before love goes awry.

Silent One December 21, 2023 at 8:23 AM I can see why this one got a trophy.. This poem exudes a vibrant rhythm and a lyrical quality that resonates with the theme of love and the urgency to cherish it. The repetition of the imperative "Sing now, sing" and the emphasis on the heart's tune create a sense of immediacy, urging the reader to embrace and celebrate love before it slips away.. The metaphor of the flame that needs to be lit before love dies adds a poignant touch, emphasizing the fleeting nature of passion.. Silent One December 21, 2023 at 8:23 AM The notion of "her love-stoked song" suggests a reciprocal exchange of emotions, making the poem feel like a shared experience between two hearts.

Ink Empress September 7, 2023 at 6:48 AM Those alliterations rhymes and the way you’ve articulated these lines, truly shows why this deserved a first place win. Mellifluous lines flowing with such beautiful imagery and musical notes that can pull any readers heart in such a poetic manner. Especially loved “ the dawn that thrills the blue sky” what! And that opening line, i loved it, so captivating. Congratulations
