E clipse of the sun mesmerizes us
N early blinding awestruck onlookers
I dle gossip intermingled with tall tales
G argoyles whisper them in gardens
M aestro orchestrating seasons’ dance
A nd above reigns a sky that rules our world
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
Wishing all my Soup friends a very Happy and Peaceful 2021!
Happy New Year to all my Soup friends,
And my loved ones far and near.
Prayers to you from bottom of my heart for
Peace, happiness and good health throughout as
Yet another dawn sprinkles fresh colours of hope.
Never let the radiance of your inner strength fade,
Every moment's peace be painted with strokes of poise,
When endless waves of despair ends your serenity.
You, with mettle and grit, have thrived many such
Eclipse like moments of dark in the past,
As brightness boldly basks in his own beam,
Rising up from the dark umbra of havoc.
Another level of Acrostic form of poetry...

Ancestor. Ancestral Pen. Ancestral piece. Savage-R
R-ise of the sun begins,
E-vening dark disappears
Y-es, an eclipse of the night stops the falling tears.
P-owerless lonely eventide
R-eturns to its slumber;
U-nder the sky the beacon shines,
D-ay seventh November.
E-arly morn has broken,
N-ew dawn makes it right;
T-he zenith sees the global
E-clipse of the night.
Bravery with no constraints
On show of the minds might and power
Irrespective of competition or opposition
Done deals finally achieved and executed
Necessitated by a confrontational desire to
Eclipse any difficulty on passion’s road
Since this is from within, it’ll
Show no signs of fear or defeat
L ies my heart when I see you,
I nimical gaze with intensity,
V enue is my mind for the game,
E cstasy fills me with your name,
L aughter and shame,
A rising emotions frame, make me lame,
U mbrella missing in the rain,
G et your wings and snatch me from pain,
H ide me sweetheart in devil's lane
L ay me down, don't mourn in vain,
O ffer yourself and your mane,
V oices wanting your bane,
E clipse the moon, fly away like a vane.
