gapretos - Hello Poetry

They married, very pleased Dreams many they weaved Happy hours simply rolled While love grew manifold. Onto mountainous vales Surely they both regaled Soon she on family way But hurdles many did lay. Rain came bucketing down Enveloping sky and town Bringing plenty of mirth Also cleansing the earth. Travelling from morn to night Unborn inside snuggled tight Serpentine roads, moonlit night River water, like silvery light. Sudden blind bend up the hill Mighty engine roaring shrill Blinding lights, opposite end Just no time for any amend. Mighty machine losing might Seemed the darkest of nights O! Wet earth simply cracked Machine slipped, was slapped. Chilling winds shrieking All of them hurt, weeping Scattered and shattered But hope still whispered. Eyes full of tears and fear Lonely night, no one near Angel inside, safe and calm Her unborn, her only balm. Thorny paths up the hill Her spouse down the hill Comrade, near a boulder Bruised broken shoulder. Trio braving grave adversity Their remarkable spontaneity With blood soaked garment Eyes pleaded management. Step by step, all together Facing inclement weather Reached the road head line Fetching care just on time. In portals of hospital Healed injuries fatal In midst of acute pain Blessings also did rain. She birthed a sweet soul Love shall forever hold O! Yes. Life's ambiguous Tumultuous yet mellifluous! @Preeti Kandpal Pathak

Adorable, black furry divine With soft coat, shining so fine Barely two and half months old Brought it home on wintry cold. His eyes beholding, sparkling, He in our arms cosily cuddling, His drowsy yawns enthralling His movements, cries marveling. Five months puppy soon Heaven sent, a real boon Friendly, graceful and playful Muscular and very powerful. Mood enhancer, happiness bringer Our canine aptly named Winner Furry pawed, with a furry exterior Beneath, an utterly amazing interior. Well bred, well trained, a looker Loyal, gentle, handsome Winner Symbol of trust and patience Furry friend known for jubilance. Winner's choice, my little boy Forever running, jumping, to enjoy Both definitely each other's toy And undoubtedly each other's joy. Nose driven, very nice napper Waggy tailed, insect inspector Nimble footed, munchy muncher Winner, entertainer and energizer, Hanging ears, so sensitive Eyes expressive, so active Our hunting, sporting companion Our sniffing, rescuing champion. His soulful eyes, full of affection. But soon came his health deception Suffering dreadful tumor, infection All endeavours for his protection. He spoke but with passion To who knew, how to listen Our canine, God of fun-frolic Suddenly silently melancholic. Our firmest friend very sweet Winner, a heartbeat at our feet. His arrival, profound happiness His passing away, sheer sadness. Winner's oblivion, few decades old His special memories, we still hold He orbits in an unknown universe In his memory, these lines of verse. @Preeti Pathak

MUNIYA One Summer day of May Gulmohar, bright and gay Red blossoms hugging her Embracing the tiny visitor Feathered, brown coloured Small sized, sparkling eyed Gregarious and melodious Muniya, the bird vivacious. She merrily flew in and out With twigs, figs in her snout Framing her cosy little nest By putting in the very best She laid eggs, pearly white Sentiments intensely bright Mystic Muniya motivated Elated, she daily incubated. That noon, warm oppressively All birds screamed aggresively Slender satan climbed devilishly Muniya fought back vigourously Birds pecked the foe ferociously Serpent slithered surreptitiously Gulping the eggs remorselessly All unborn perished noiselessly. Muniya wailed loudly, bitterly Her world shattered suddenly Pain, loss penetrating the soul Depressing, difficult to console Emotions enveloping the avian Her unborn drifted into oblivion Misty eyed, she fled mournfully Misty eyed, I prayed soulfully. One fine bright summer day of May To my surprise on my verandah lay Muniya, her eggs in salubrious nest Fervent feelings felt, of fest, of zest Venturing in and out gregariously Savouring sprouts, seeds ravenously Muniya nourishing new beginnings Making new innings, new winnings. @ Preeti Pathak

Radiant rising sun Casting its rosy hue Sky speaking with mirth Announcing birth. The introductory chapter! Toiling men, working women Flourishing flora, fauna Bringing flurry of activities Indicating limitless possibilities. The next chapter! Gracious, golden grains Fresh, fragrant flowers Fruitful forests, virginal vales Telling many a profound tales. Yet another chapter! Gorgeously celestial butterflies, Mysteriously dazzling fireflies Cherries, berries, their sweetness Reflecting happiness and richness. One more chapter! Wintry winds soon arrive Petals, sepals, leaves wither. Old, infirm lose shine Showing decline with fleeting time. The finishing chapter! Spectacularly serene sunset Casting its crimson hue Calling, calming feature Suggesting departure. The closing chapter! Witness magic yet again Stupendous rising sun Casting rosy hue on earth Explaining rebirth. The new chapter! Bowing before the miraculously marvelous magician. HIS ceaseless process progresses with precision!

Countless times we spot Women on streets in rags Impoverished and famished Infants ******* their empty ******* Otherwise pretty but circumstances ugly Causing anguish, deep distress But we still look away ! Countless times we encounter Children on streets instead of schools Hungry, shabby and unhealthy Eyes speaking million sad stories Otherwise naive but circumstances tragic Eliciting deep sympathy But we still look away ! Countless times we observe men Wandering aimlessly Rustic, crude and cynical Bursting with energy but unemployed Otherwise hopeful but circumstances adverse So soul rending But we still look away! Poverty, illiteracy unemployment Forming a vicious loop Social conscience navigates Whispers panacea Teach one, feed one Moral imperative calls But then, why look away ?

Celebrations! Baby girl arriving A piece of heaven descending Upon ecstatic parents who are waiting Cooing, smiling and her eyes shining How euphoric and rewarding ! In parental tenderness, blooming beautifully Inherent virtues, flourishing favourably Buoyantly vibrant teenager, metamorphosing magically Lithe, lively lady moulding, unfolding gracefully How breathlessly beautiful, this transition so suddenly ! Deft, determined lady emerging on life's canvas Out of the shadows of parental caress Catalysing to compellingly desirable mistress Celebrating wins, witty and voluptuous How stunningly sensuous ! Years go by sketching contours of the middle aged Living through love, sorrow, fear and hope Journey of ups and downs sculpting her Experienced, sobered, matured portrait realised How mysteriously ageless ! Time fleets introducing a frail grandmotherly figure Her reticent, sentimental and feeble ways Carving her into a contemplative, pious matriarch Toothless, silver-haired and wierdly wrinkled How stupendous a masterpiece ! © Preeti Pathak

And then I found a writer in myself When my happiness cuddled me When my sorrow engulfed me When my heart prayed, words bubbled Then my pen on paper scribbled Voila ! Poetry was born. And then I found a writer in myself When I heard winds whisper, read earth's verse When I listened to rivers sing, woods converse When I dipped in waters of my soul Then my vocabulary danced on paper Viola ! Poetry was born. And then I found a writer in myself When my tears, laughters discovered a vent When my imaginations, thoughts found emancipation When my soul dictated, poured and positioned words Then I articulated on paper. Voila ! Poetry was born. And then I found a writer in myself When I eavesdropped on my conscience When I recorded notes from my heartbeats When I breathed fragrance of spiritual perfume Then I inhaled emotions and exhaled words Voila ! Poetry was born.
