The Bloody Chapters of Stalingrad

From moments when love was cherished in Stalingrad,
Like stories written on the walls 
With the song repeated by Babushka 
And not long after that, the war reached its gates.

Hands turned into fists and ready for battle
Like heads and shoulders patiently under the whip,
The Motherland Calls enchants and glorifies,
Without knowing the ensuing bloodbath.

Every minute felt like a bundle of fear,
With the magic of free will as faded as a dust,
Like a house turned into rubble
And corpses piled upon corpses.

Falling Leaves, Fading Chapters

I watched a leaf release its breath,
A golden sigh upon the air.
It tumbled softly into death,
A quiet dance without despair.

The wind, a gentle funeral song,
Caressed it with a lover’s grace.
It drifted, weightless, swept along,
No bitterness upon its face.

I thought of all I’ve had to leave,
The hands, the homes, the hollow years.
I thought of how we choose to grieve,
Of all we bury in our tears.

I saw myself in autumn’s fall,
A fragile thing, a fleeting name.
Each chapter closed, each silent call,
A softer ending than I claim.

I let the stillness speak to me,
I let the branches bend and sigh.
I let the leaf teach how to be—
To let things go without goodbye.

The leaves fall not from spite or fear,
But from a life that must renew.
Their fading paints the earth sincere,
A quiet blaze in every hue.

I whispered thanks to every breeze,
To every stem that dared release.
I whispered as the shadows seized,
And felt within a tender peace.

The leaf, the loss, the letting go—
All part of something vast and kind.
A truth the autumn leaves still know:
We lose, we fall, we rise, we find.

Chapters

Chapters throughout the time as I tweak.

The below-mentioned chapters segments  of
Seasons endured.

Time in connection with deadends one way
Itineraries related to continued everyday life

Unchangingtwists and turns, facing phobias,
Adjustments.

Desiring resiliency. Chapters

Day-to-day events mold us into reinforcement
of one's fears to continue and not give up.

On the crossroads of the endings sometimes 
Contrast to beginnings.  Chapters

PONDER AND WONDER

Christ said 
Judge and condemn not 
But people do too much
For us to remain silent 
The truth is hard to say
It's also hard to swallow.

Now ponder
You might wonder 
Your perception 
A reflection of you 
Do you know the meaning of life?
Everyone with different story or meaning 
I guess none knows the meaning of life.

What are your opinions about life?
You can't finish education 
Just as you can't own or know it all 
Everyone have their own view or point 
As time passes by, season changes 
Life comes with stages 
Different pages and chapters unveiling it's true meaning.

Discrete Chapters of Life

       Mathematically speaking,
       Life is not a continuous function,
       but holds discrete chapters
      to be closed at different times on journey of life.
 
     Carefree childhood terminates
     alarming to get prepared 
      to lead life on self confidence.
      
      Bubbling vibrant youth : Most alluring period 
      to fulfill ambitions, dreaming and dreaming.
     Aspiring chapter offering opportunity 
     of activities in broad spectrum at random.
     
      Onwards start struggling taking life as a Challenge.
       Career, Family, Responsibilities,  Duties  are embowered.
      Success to access, Failure to endure
      Love, Betrayal, Happiness, Sorrow appear in series.

     Inevitable last phase shows
     Achievements, Emotional Involvements
     turning obsolete, seeming Life to be meaningless,
     only to wait for last call  to reach the ultimate end of Life.

Blank Page

I took a long walk to the park
While holding my book and pen in both hands
Upon arriving, I looked all around
And noticed a brown bench that looks extremely antique
I sat down quietly staring at a blank page
Just trying to form words together in my mind
So I could create a perfect first chapter

Ten minutes later
I still can't think of anything to write
Oh well!
Maybe I should give up completely
Or give it another try
Five minutes later, I'm fantasizing about
Being the best published author
Who sold a lot of books
Then it suddenly dawned on me
That I was not in reality

Now I'm back to square one
Staring at the same blank page
This time I'm getting different ideas
Therefore, I jot them down as they come to me
And I began to write constantly
Plus did not stop until my book was finished
How satisfied I felt that day
For I did not have to worry about anymore incomplete chapters.

Chapters

When we embraced after years apart, I felt as though I came home.
When we parted ways again I had no choice but to close our tome.
When we meet again someday, I want to take you to Rome.

On the contrary, the glory awaits you
The failure can hail a more determined individual

Unwritten Chapters

secrets hidden deep
within your mind and soul
unwritten chapters

Rainbow Chapters

Half made ideas form
In a void conjuring colors warm
Glow in the dark shapes,
From one small nape
Then touching an arm,
Hands held in stasis
A lingering forming the basis
For all future ways
In the following days,
This face of love
Will take us to our trove
Or skip a rainbows end.

Chapters

I am going to write some poetry,
Some happy and some sad,
Ones you have to think about
Others that will make you mad.
If I write a good selection
I will put them in a book,
If you see it on the shelf
I hope you take a look.
There should be one that relates to you
At sometime in your life,
And I hope that it's a happy one
That will bring your smile alive.
I'm sure there will be others
That will make you be aware,
Of all the good and bad times
I'm memories,in all our lives we share.
So if you purchased my little book
And you have got it in your hand,
With all these chapters in our lives
I know you will understand.

Chapters of Life

 
"Life seems to be a never-ending series of survivals, doesn't it?"

                                       _Carroll Baker, B 1931, Actress and Writer

_____________________
 

My life seems to be like pages in a book,
when I finish one chapter another begins,
sadly, not each chapter has a happy ending,
but some parts are quite happy and also funny,
I was a goofy kid, I recall my grandpa would laugh,
at my red wagon used to collect my forest treasures,
well, he was the one that made it for me for that purpose,
and I recall sitting in dad's workshop on his bench helping him,
well, not exactly helping but asking him a zillion little girl questions,
but he did not mind and would kiss me on the head and smile laughing,
see, its not all bad, there is a lot of happiness woven into the deep sadness,
it all depends on what pages-  I choose to recall from the chapters of my life.

Chapters of Life

"Our lives are like a book,
Chapters document the trips we took

In each phase of our lives,
Pen to paper does not lie

Some chapters are light and gay,
Others are tough as we made our way

Others we don’t want to read again,
A few have humor built in

There are those we want no one to see,
Those past lives we can all agree

Should be hidden,
The memories forbidden

So not to disrupt our current chapter,
As we pursue  what maters

Finally there are those chapters yet to write, 
For life on earth remains finite

Save the best for last,
Drawing on the chapters past

For it is your story to write,
And may it’s ending be just right

But until then begin a new chapter,
To find the happiness you are after"

Self Chapters

When your life feels as if,
 it doesn't have meaning.
Take a look back, and relax
Look closer, read in between. 
Slowly read all of,
your self worth chapters.
You will then discover your own,
Life's question's answers.
