A quiet enchantment needs
no stage to captivate.
A sudden, incandescent grace
illuminates the crowded room,
Disarming every hardened heart
with effortless benevolence,
An unpretentious, magnetic
warmth that softly draw us
near.
It leaves a lingering,
unforgettable impression in its
wake,
Enthralling spirits without a
single ostentatious word,
A fleeting, beautiful magic
woven into the quietest breath.
Spare a thought for tiny penny,
how sad those folks that haven't any.
It's the smallest coin of the realm
and made of copper, like a charm.
Those who don't even have a stitch
they could become immensely rich
if only others to them brought
a shiny penny for each thought.
Children add charm to the house
A source of happiness and togetherness for spouse
Parents' love has no limit and end
It's always true,they never pretend
The love is equal for one and all
Whether big,Whether small
All are dearest, without doubt
It's the affection, all about
Those who need attention more
Feel neglected to the core
He who is loved more
Is weak and timid,for sure
For the parent, all are equal
Love and care,are same as sequel
Which one do you love more?
One may ask,amongst the four
It's a question, obvious for a parent
If one feels,the love is apparent
Parents' love has no boundary
It's always equal, all and sundry
Parents' love is always a blessing
It's genuine, that goes without saying...
Ebullient emotion, the designer of dreams,
searched for the sense of the futile feeling.
As it mingled enthralled
with the aura of my twilight zone,
my mind merged with the notion of obscurity,
emotion searched enthralled for aura of mind.
‘Inspired by’ : A Poem For You, posted at PS on May 10, 2024.
In good in bad,in sorrow and joy
There is no one,but I,remember me,O' boy.
You reach heights, you reach the sky
I will hold you always, how much high you fly.
I can see no tears in your eye
Never lose hope,fear or be shy.
I am the saviour, I am the protector
Just move on,try and be the go-getter.
When everything seems lost,everything is gone
Remember me,I am there for you,my son.
I can read your mind,I can feel your heartbeat
You can smile,you cannot fool and cheat.
I make you laugh,I make you cry
I am the one,to give you the courage, again to try.
Every step,every move for you,is always a test
To see how much,you can bear,before the final rest.
When everything seems dark,dumb and calm
Remember me,I am always there for you to charm.
Remember me,my child, remember me
My blessings will shower ,have patience to see...
What if I ramp up the charm?

Wisdom alone, or foolish together?
A simple blunder, setting the tone.
Where is the sun in the night sky?
Where is the flower in the dark?
Take a walk with me and bloom and grow—
It is meant to be.
At night,when everything is stable and calm
Someone whispers,having its presence and charm.
Although invisible, with no footprints
A scary image,in the mind it imprints.
In the ghostly night,with no traces around
Somehow, this view let me feel scared and astound.
The wind whispers the secrets, the darkness hide
The invisible beauty that spread far and wide.
The wind whispers, the stories untold
Those that,with darkness...unfold.

Hey daddy, look at me.

He prances around so proud like he owns the coop
He'd feed the hens but can't manoeuver the scoop

enchanted forest
alive with wondrous magic
under faerie's charm

It lay cool against my wrist,
a gold chain with tiny stories.
Each charm was a miniature world
of special moments~
a birthday,
a summer,
a secret wish.
When I moved, they chimed softly,
a music only I could hear,
reminding me that even small things
can hold whole chapters of a life.
The little heart clicked softly
when I moved,
as if remembering
something for me.
I’d lift the bracelet to the light,
watching memories glint and sway~
small keepsakes of a girl
who believed
magic could be worn.

Today, on the anniversary of love,
I wished to weave you into words—
In the form of a poem, or perhaps a tale,
A song… or simply a description of your being
But a word as beautiful as you—
I could not find one
In all the languages of the world
Your entire presence is one thing,
Yet your smile… the glance of your eyes,
The curl of your hair,
And the glow upon your forehead—
None of it could be expressed
Words folded their hands in surrender,
And tongues fell silent.
What could a humble one like me write
In the book of this world?
Even God, in all His beauty,
Could not write a second line like you
Is there a charm
For every time
You cause my heart harm?
Will I engrave it
With the date and time
Of the grievous act?
No need to use
That pretty gold charm
It’s already etched in blood
On it’s counter part
The real one beating in me…
My heart bleeding
Is there a charm
For every time
You cause my brain pain?
Will I engrave it
With the date and time
You played games with my mind?
No need to use
That pretty gold charm
It already etched in sorrow
On it’s counter part
The real one on my shoulders….
My eyes dripping with tears
When spring starts to spread its soft lease
The green shoots bring nature`s sweet peace,
The sun shines so bright
With fresh, gentle light
And robins chanting their release.
