Amid falling leaves, I stand motionless
trying to understand their falling off;
is it agony of going into oblivion
or joy of freedom from a bondage.
But whatever it is, I feel amazed
at this repetitive magic of nature;
at the start of cycle of renewal
in physical and metaphysical sense.
Why do leaves change their colour
dazzling the entire environment;
and adorning bright crimson hues
before kissing dust to become dust?
Is it to reduce the meloncholy
of baring the trees of their loss;
or to celebetate a joy of freedom
in anticipation of oncoming spring.
Beyond a cold, grey winter
when new shoots will adorn the trees;
in green and other myriad hues
spreading the warm cheer again.
Whatever it may be, falling leaves
inspire me to prepare for change;
from my current state of being
weather good or bad, I not know.
It will, sooner or later desert me
and like falling leaves ask me;
to brace up to face cold winds
and persevere, in hope of a colorful spring.
This continual change will go on
for ever, till eternity, I guess;
the whistling breeze merrily helping
leaves to fall off as an agent of change.
Leaves believe they shall be replaced
by fresh young ones next season;
they let go and enjoy their freedom
celeberating their fall dancing with wind.
Yet they cannot help leaving behind
a sombre mood for those still attached;
signalling them to prepare for the inevitable
when their turn arrives, to depart.
Of love that blossoms in the heart's sweet hue,
A tale of passion's bloom that ne'er will fade,
A sonnet of two hearts that beat anew,
Whose love is pure, in truth and never swayed.
The sunlight streams upon their faces fair,
And whispers soft upon the morning breeze,
As they embrace, their hearts entwined with care,
In love's sweet warmth that never fades nor flees.
The starry night skies sing of love's refrain,
And moonlit moments serenade their hearts,
In sweetest harmony, they dance again,
And vow to never let love's flame depart.
Thus let this sonnet sing of love divine,
A love that never ends, forever thine.
Curving, swirling, in moonlit stance, butterflies merrily dance,
Undulating tenor of nocturnal music, beneath stellar expanse,
When celestial orchestra plays, occult notes of galactic tune,
As titillations of love croon, mystical lyrics of melodious moon;
Echoing doting rhythms, twinkling revelry of luminous stars,
In realms magical, scintillating thrones of Venus and Mars,
As longings of soul blossom, spurring reveries of romance,
Where I decode latent missives, glinting your esoteric glance;
Enamored in tones ambrosial, humming riffs of moon song,
Cherishing sweet promise of love, reverberating lifelong,
Exalting fantasies of awe, emanating from ethereal heart,
Edifying ecstasies of morrow, as shadows of bygones depart;
Enlivening themes longed for, in womb of romantic night,
As we embrace paradise of passion, desires ecstatic ignite,
Lauding refulgent beams of moon, glistening fervid space,
When ardent images of grace, memories beloved retrace;
Waltzing in airglow above, thrilling on wings of butterflies,
Attuning to sound of music, resounding in lambent skies,
Choreographing a ballet love, rowing aura of galactic stream,
Enchanting sensuous theme vying shores of utopian dream.
Line of inquiry:
“What if life is a lucid dream
Borne by thoughts we ourself did stream
Wherein our designated role
Is to dance atop love’s moonbeam”
It happens when I don’t allow myself
The time to think of what is to be
As I let myself put the past on a shelf
I remember bruises, pain – and fall to my knee
It happens when I feel the dark shadows
Revealing the way fears have taunted me
Silhouettes who’ve haunted, only God knows
There was a time when I was so carefree
It happens when I grasp time that’s passed
Past tears remembered, revealing my soul
What once was, my memories, hopes holdfast
As God tells me His love can make me whole
It happens when I feel the pain settling in
Telling me that even love can’t restore
What has been, the sorrows and the sin
Only His grace and peace comes before…
And I remember what it is to believe
It happens when my heart realizes He relieves
I don’t have any need to grieve
Because His love never leaves…
His love never leaves, so I can see
Past the pain and fear, the tears
Though I feel haunted, I am free
Because He silences all my worst fears
It happens when I think of death
And know that this time on earth will end
In the silence, I feel His gentle breath
Soothing away the darkness like a true friend
He is a friend who will ever be with me
Gentling my tears and restoring my heart
So I can know, whatever is to be…
He is the light whose glow will never depart
He is the light who rises in my soul
Lifting the worries and grief
He brings back what the devil stole
And relieves me with sweet belief
I believe He is the way, the truth, the life
And, because I know Him – I can find
The wonder of a faith that silences all strife
He is the Lord and He is always kind
It happens when I realize He will ever be
The Joy of my soul, the music in the song I sing
The Lord, the Savior, the One who set me free
Listen to the rhythm of the One to whom I cling
The epiphany is that He can take away
All the shadows, the pain, the fear
With Him beside me, come what may
I know that He will bless every tear
FINALITY, THEN RELIEF!
A final decision comes about with certain risk,
And should be made mostly, at a pace that is brisk,
An idea comes knocking, all’s not in vain,
And Invariably an amount of calm will reign.
Belief in one’s self will determine how to proceed,
With this insurmountable ordeal, this difficult deed,
And one’s state of mind at this point will also tell,
If you’re reaching the end of this indecisive hell.
A ray of sun will pierce through your heart,
And the misery, torment and hurt will depart,
For now, one’s decision is made and is fast,
All is forgotten, the past is the past.
In an age of great techniques aplenty
there is one that’s many centuries old
for this one is so full of godly wisdom
take it on learn well what has been told
The Bible’s book of godly wisdom
in Proverbs chapter 22 verse six
it tells how a child be taught well
keeping them in wisdom no quick fix
This early age training seminar
thought out long ago at early source
establishing a child in the essentials
so If practiced will make real force
This is indeed a divine remedy
set in place before needing a cure
God’s prescription always correct
so life is workable you can be sure
When this is set early in place
won’t be forgotten but take root
in later years be truly thankful
if kept to it’ll surely bear fruit
("Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs. 22:6 )
LOVE'S LOST IN THE LAND OF NOT
John (Winged Warrior)- we've not forgot
Your heartfelt comments and lovely,
Soul...
A beacon of light- the way you'd Roll
He'd spread his wings open wide
IN THE GALLOWS WHERE WE RESIDE
Across the oceans and over the,
Seas..
His writings ride amongst the breezes
He came to me in my dream last night
To wish us well with love and light
AS WE JOURNEY FROM OUR MAIDEN.
WOMB...
To keep our writes like hearts abloom
From the womb- till his depart
He left behind, from within his heart
All his poetry for us to keep,
When...
THE CURTAIN FALLS WITHIN OUR SLEEP
*In dedication to John (Winged Warrior)
The TITLE and the HIGHLIGHTED LINES are taken from John's very first poem written here in PoetrySoup- titled "Love's Lost"
John had amazingly but not surprisingly won the POTW honors with this brilliant poem. I am sure I speak from most of us who knew you, John. When I say R.I.P. you genuine soul. For those of you who are new to PS I urge you to read some of John's stunning poetry.
LOVE'S LOST
We awaken from within a tomb
As we journey from our maiden womb
Specks of dust within a storm
Like a shattered symphony in it's mourn
Love's lost in the land of not
Ancient ruins that time forgot
As the serpent lays the road ahead
We count love's layers that are shed
In the gallows where we reside
Love and fear live side by side
We shake hands with destiny's vine
Where past and present intertwine
The curtain falls within our sleep
As love's lost approach the deep
Can hope survive in the dragons den
For these are tales of sword and pen

______________________________________________________________
What have I become in a world coming undone?
Where chaos reigns and hope seems long gone?
Right before my eyes, I grip the darkness rise.
But amidst it all, a ray of light tries
Fetching furry friends, full of pure delight,
Spreading surreal sunshine with all its might.
From those mocha eyes, a glimmer of truth,
A reminder of innocence, of purest youth.
Leaving paw-prints on the heart,
A love unspoken, a bond that won't depart
In a world so cold and unkind,
A furry companion is a solace, I find.
Unbothered bliss, in each wag and purr,
A love that's unconditional and pure.
Through the chaos and the strife,
My furry friend brings peace to my life.
In those moments of uncertainty and fear,
Their presence brings comfort, oh so near.
Their paw-prints on my heart, forever imprinted,
A love so unforgettable, never to be tinted
With each wag of their tail, a smile is born.
Their love and loyalty are never to be torn.
In a world unraveling, they remain steadfast,
A beacon of light, a love that will last.
No matter how the world may challenge,
They bestow us joy that will never arrange.
Their paws may leave prints on my soul.
But their love and presence bear me whole.
I walk gleefully in the gorgeous garden path all alone
with the cadence of love pulsating in my young heart,
nurturing hopes of the permanence of pleasure sown
in my impermanent world from where I can’t depart.
The fluid times change, but I can’t ever make out how,
the storm of strife surges, but I can never know why
it blows away the mind, a discarded leaf from bare bough,
that falls like a silent drop of my tear with a somber sigh.
The burden of blankness drags the dead dreams down
to the dreary depth of fragile life’s labyrinthine abyss,
and onto the beleaguered brink of self- destruction to drown
in the dismal flood of the disappearing hopes, I miss.
In the collapsing quicksand of expectation hollow inside,
shadows of remorseless danger of devouring desolation lurk.
As the shards of demolished desires subtly subside,
mist of failure makes life’s tortuous pathway abominably dark.
There the unsure trembling footsteps unknowingly falter,
the sliding sands of the sanguine time don’t ever stop.
The dormant diktats of the ordained destiny never alter,
as listless life lumbers in the dark path, losing the prop.
Searching then for the inner glow I discern the divine light,
that reveals the reality of life’s tangible intent in the haze,
defines the prescribed purpose of existential journey right,
through the door of uncertainty away from the mundane maze.
