Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Turbulence

Darkened clouds--in cobalt blue morning sky 

A terror of tears-- in reigning happy smiles

A loving heart's bold acclaim--grief's its strength

Neighborhood of vibrant mind--a colony of fears

Sullen memoirs unfolding--an old book of life

Night's ruptured dreams-- a gift forlorn

Life's turbulence has dreary shapes and sounds

Valsa George February 5, 2022 at 4:22 AM What terrible contradictions.... This world seemingly peaceful is full of violence and rebellion . Under the veneer of innocence and truthfulness lies deceit and treachery. Beneath the surfacing happiness, sorrows lurk ! This ambivalence of life, you have masterfully traced!

Paul Callus May 5, 2019 at 2:51 PM Life's journey can be calm and turbulent, Vijay; it does not always depend on us. Some things are beyond our control, very much like the weather. Regards // paul

Besma Riabi Dziri May 5, 2019 at 11:58 AM I think that "life's turbulence" paves the way for more beauty hiding inside us to come out to surface.. Another taste of ink.. a different colour of words.. still, beauty is of a higher level! Your masterful pen, dear Vijay, depicts Beauty whatever its "shape and shade" is! In my fave list.. my deepest regards. Stay blessed always. Vijay Pandit May 5, 2019 at 12:08 PM Yes--certainly..we learn from the ebb and flow of life.
