Subhadra Narayann Poem
Written for Ink Empress' 'Unwritten Absence' Poetry Contest.
C(ulpa)ble
Your unwritten absence unravelled much
Disrobing piteously your impure intent
Starkly exposing a ravaged soul as such
Cocooned in dark yarns of deceit, I lay spent
In golden gilded cage tarnishing from neglect
Plated with cosmetic veneer for society's consent
Yet, you were oblivious to the storm brewing, most perfect
Bidding the right time to sound its thunderous dissent
NEGLECT, tacitly accepted afore, HENCEFORTH NEVER GOES UNCHECKED!

Subhadra Narayann Poem
Will storms abate not
And tides in my favour turn
Won't the darkest days
Serenade nights where
A starlit symphony sings
Would a new day dawn
Shrouding past regrets
Giving rise to hope and joy
For this jaded one
Too weary to croon
Won't the dove so sweetly coo
Chasing gloom away
In rays of citrine
Making mornings more serene
Peaceful tidings greet
Gratefully I sail along

Subhadra Narayann Poem
Thank you for celebrating the warrior in me
And for being my shield in times of need
Offering those shoulders to nurse in chivalry
My battle-wearied heart when it doth bleed
Thank you for celebrating my laughter
And for giving me more reasons to smile
Offering to laugh heartily with me hereafter
My leaden soul could do to soar awhile
Thank you for being you, imperfections and all
And for making me more perfect with time
Offering to grow together amidst life's curveball
My overthinking mind could saunter in rhyme
Thank you for being part of my journey here
And for taking me on a roadtrip like no other
Offering your hand when I stumble to safely steer
My comrade you do pacify when life's pain I wonder
Dear comrade, wishing you a big, heartfelt thank you for being my heart mind and soul!

Subhadra Narayann Poem
Fluttering fireflies
Above the creek baited sly
Hoodwinked in high skies
Genji's ruthless ruse
Foiling Hotaru's scheme
In summer rains' reprise
Pattering musical notes
On screen to wilfully tease
Dark nights dashing dream
Fireflies sparking muse
Unveiling the radiant allure
Of Tamakazura's fair silhouette
Smitten Hotaru pens love pure
A waka to win her heart yet
Hear Hotaru's heartbeat
In relentless petition
Seeking solemn retreat
In love's glorious rendition
