Akanksha Ayantika Poem
I made a vow on a day divine
To hold your hands in mine
May it be rain or shine.
In the years that followed the day
Our hands never went astray
Rather, your hand in mine led the way.
In every sky of grey and blue
I kept my word to you
Together, we witnessed the dawn anew.
In times of departed sand
I am holding your resting hand
While I sit in a headstone land.

Akanksha Ayantika Poem
Sailing up and down the sky
Hovering over the moist heathers
Soaring and sliding high
Dawning grey and brown feathers.
Spreading her wings with expertise
Unfurling her stripped tail,
She glides through the wind with ease
Looking as light as the dancing gale.
A descendant of voracious predators
She dives sharp down to her prey,
She possesses the vitality of deadly raptors
There is no chance of her catch getting away.
She nests in aspens at the edge of a meadow
You can find her in the marshlands,
She may also be at the swamp out your window
But it is the open wild that she demands.

Akanksha Ayantika Poem
My favourite companion
is my pet Pomeranian,
Fluffy, squishy and hairy
I call her ‘Fairy’.
She is milk-white,
A lovely sight!
She is feisty and fierce
She has proud pointed ears
She loves to jump and run
She is full of life and fun
She enjoys nibbling meat yummy
She adores rubs on her tummy
She likes to be snuggled,
And hugged and cuddled
She fancies taking a mid day nap
While I pet her in my lap.
Often, she is perched on the kitchen rack,
I love her to the moon and back.

FEAR
Terror
Of unknown
Staring into a
Void of unending dark
On the first night outside home
"A fear we lose with growing up"

Akanksha Ayantika Poem
The heir to Jotunheim
A prince orphaned to war,
He grew up a brother to Thor
In the divine halls of Asgard.
The God of Mischief, he is called
True to his cunning and charm
He keeps daggers up his arm
You never know what scheme he is on.
He was not fond of Odin
But he deeply loved his mother
He learned his wily tricks from her,
Frigga raised him as her son.
But, in spite of his malevolent plots,
He did things we should reward
Like when he helped in saving Asgard
And he died by the hands
of the Titanian warlord.

Akanksha Ayantika Poem
An incomplete spring
Paired with incoming summer
Rears rare-bloom bluebells
Idyll of dual-toned skies
Like unison of twain lives

Akanksha Ayantika Poem
I spent years wondering
If romance is a liar
A lure into fiction
Of sweet satire.
I thought it was wise
To detest my desire
I pictured frozen blood
In place of glowing fire.
The first time I saw
Love in your eyes
I witnessed art,
A transcending rise.
Your lucent words like
A meteor in motion capture
It was the first time
I felt cosmic rapture.
With you by my side
I am in euphoric capture
And since, I believe
Romance is rapture.
