I was born and it was evident at an early age,
that I was a storyteller because I would ramble on and on to anyone;
who was unfortunate to be looking at me . . . .
But, I met death too early in my life and it scarred me deeply,
and eventually I picked up a bleeding pen and wrote the darkness;
oh, it was not right for a young girl to write such sadness in life.
Now, today all my beloved are names engraved,
yet, I have many happy memories I press to my heart;
and tons of wonderful friends like precious gems and flowers,
but still I must write from my soul poems of life and of nature.

Second Place
Ten Lines In The Sand
Ripples adorn life finding tides in the ocean writing home ten
homely ingredients for swirling with graceful tapestry of the sun
LOVE COMPASSION and KINDNESS washing cleansing eternally
where they meet gravity’s pull and push engineered by the moon
in POETIC MOTION and surfing the crest of BEAUTY IN PEACE
The waves display NON VIOLENCE no hurting of sentient beings
no more MORONIC OTHERING just RESPECT FOR THE DIVERSE
Water the source of our pleasure plays with sand on the shore
dancing HARMONY’S resolution HONESTY in tenfold Universe
squared by earth wind and fire in the consummation of passion

1. The most important day of my life was birth,
2. and the day I got married, oh, that was amazing.
3. But my love has gone away just a name engraved.
4. I gave birth twice and my babies never saw the sky,
5. The day I graduated nursing school was very special.
6. But the most important thing to me has not happened,
7. I have a feeling it will be the last time- I close my eyes.
8. When I step into another realm where my beloved wait.
9. Yes, that will be it for this girl, the day I meet the Lord,
10. and find the answer to why I was born . . . . . . . . . .
--------------------
Not knowing what the times sing, we,
Forest flames well before spring, we,
Our joy of life nowhere in sight,
At festive times fidgeting we.
------------------------
Life’s not just a stray piece of time
Given to us, reason nor rhyme,
It has a full spectrum of shades--
Far violets to infra reds,
A journey and rare odyssey,
Seldom do we live all alive,
And set off nowhere to arrive,
Live, but deep within all empty
Amidst all our strident gaiety,
To celebrate in a vacuum.
We take part but stand all apart,
Soul goes with us, nor ever heart.

Quatrain |21.07.2025| men, life, time
Note: The four lines of this quatrain could well be the first two couplets of a ghazal. The following ten lines elaborate what the quatrain has to say.
I - this vacant building, dilapidated by years and cold inadvertence.
Obscurities dance in my eaves, ravenous belfry bats, scouring dusk -
Notions, plans, dreams, impulses - the detritus that bloats their bellies.
Scrawny, gnarled trees about me, bony-fingered limbs clawing, scraping,
Biased, ragged people who assume to know, whose perspectives bleed -
Careless, avaricious purposes, spirits gutted like my stark, graffitied walls.
YOU shall redeem me ... douse my scaffolding, ignite these timbers ...
Ravage my whole with conflagration, toss the cooling ashes windward!
My foundation runs deeper than these trees' tangled roots ... now ...
Raise again, my walls - loving, formidable, joyous, and you ... INSIDE.

Vermilion sunset
Menagerie of animals roam foggy mountain side
Unaware of vermilion sunset painting ocean tide
Reflecting on aqua-blue where reddish hues infuse
As twilight flickers on ripples that leisurely cruise.
Ancestral dance-music echoes from the distant hills
As mockingbirds mimic birdsongs from the foothills,
While villagers frolic happily sipping luscious wine
Enchanted amidst frangipani scent, feeling divine.
As sun takes one last breath of drowning daylight
Pellucid waters shine bright courting glorious sight.

The entrance of Spring, seasons well the vibrancy of greens evolving greener.
Age was hers and time was ours,
Love is the verbs blossom as roses scented reserve suite line composes,
Time marks a question measured to wrangle,
Gemmed Ivory and Ebony, host o'er our bejeweled Pearl.
Ships neither sink nor swim in tranquil Springs
Seas calmness...falsely trains expert yachtsmen,
Lost lamb hopes his roll's called up yonder ... as his last words read ...
Words that stem from the heart seldom a mind,
Good hopes and goodwill--righteousness succeeds,
Sanctuary
Carpe Diem With Heart

My Afterthought's My Goal
In an island amidst the seamless seas,
lost in the warmth of a dream-like enchanting moment,
I sense a smooth placid stillness and repose.
As the golden ball ascends,
light bids adieu to the dark with a soft kiss -
the sky welcomes her beloved with a vermilion smile.
Mind greets thoughts anew that evoke delight,
when the koels and kingfishers sing hymns of hope.
The morning sky glows in rays of nature's lamp,
warm and vibrant, it heals my soul.

9. Soothing Serenity
10. To Belong
Her musical style may have been avant - garde
But her sad songs left ennui emotions and hearts scarred
When she found herself within the lyrics of her song
Her romantic elan diminished before long
She had given him carte blanche to her heart
But soon, a deja vu of broken dreams it did impart
She thought that his love was bona fide
But deep within an anomaly did reside
A cacophony of musical notes echoed across baroque structures
Where love's melody was but a dilettante allure

The thoughts are risen: But nobody to listen;
Hot breaths from lungs continually waltzed over skin.
Everyday my sleepless heart cries alike the pouring rain.
I wish there could have been a “traffic signal” just to notify us
In times like these we cannot presume everything to be normal.
Doused frantic emotions stare at the glim.
Finding the gimmick of Love!
Let's dance together amidst the flower and devour Nature's power.
Amidst all the false accusations & tensions...
Our Undying divine love overflows boundlessly demanding immeasurable unite.
