Broken Balloon


  you didn’t know how    
you broke my balloon heart
gloomy clouds  melted in the
sky of my eyes, and in torrent
of tears  dreams floated away
with the torn petals of flower
called love that bloomed in
my garden all through the
years until one dismal
night storm came
and crushed it
creating the
debris of
me

Trodden Paths Not In Vain

"Paint in silence”
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait
Carve his seized dreams
and his insight of flowing streams
Let me read his cry of birth
and see the drops of tears on earth
A valiant core, the shell is worn
could not be broken, though torn
You display a challenging stand
behind a back forced to bend
*****
Radiant and on the wane
Bliss and pain
Loss and gain
A Life to hail 
Trodden paths not in vain
Shall we complain?!
*****
Alienated and empty
but oozing out Faith and Beauty
Once hailing many a dawn
now only dusk to look on
Of resistance, endurance and devotion
bow in dignity to God’s laws of creation.

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

To the Moon and Back, Ily

Light of the silvery moon shines LOL
Leaving stunning lavender rays for GL

Brilliant, glowing stars shine down IRL
Twinkling brightly across all the ppl

These heavenly joys fall soft, so gr8
Never sad, never bad, always glad, don't W8

While they laugh merrily with every ILY
Never pained, drained or wondering Y

Stars and moon, flowing delight, in hues of GMV
Sharing their dreams and bliss from my POV

Shhhhhhhhhh

How many times do we see something so quickly, a reflection, 
or eyes, or something,
 in a window or a mirror? 
Just a glimpse, really, barely even a glimpse.
A glit of something.
A gl
A g
How many times do we keep silent,
Unsure of how others would take it
That we are not alone right now?
That there is something else here,
Something that came by in a
Brief hush to say hello?
Something that we saw
In just a little teeny
Tiny bit of a see?
How many times do we keep this truth
Locked safely inside, worse, talk ourselves out
Of what we have seen?
When spirit or faeries, or nymphs or
Elves, or something more or something
Less shows herself, you are being honored,
Revered, loved.
Do not talk yourself out of the experience
Given to you.
To do so is to dishonor the one who
Loved you enough to show herself.
