A woman has it all
A woman who believes
In her own strength

She can build
And break if she wants
The false
And truths
In her castle so strong

A flower in the wild
No vase can contain
A flower so tame
Beautifies every vase

Moments can break her
Archiving some
She knows to make moments
To enliven her

Giving wings to her thoughts
Voicing the same
Stringing them in a garland
Of compassion for all

A woman has it all
A woman who believes
In her own strength
To every woman, happy women’s day:)
The world in a place
Never dreamt of, for itself, nor its inhabitants

Everyone is going through something
That nobody should

Ripping at the seams
Much to accommodate, distressed

Some on the edge, the going is tough
Losing to stress

For some there is everyone
The fabric of love, three-plied strong

If possible be there for someone
A blanket stitch at the seams, saves fine

There is much to explore in the world we inhabit
We need our world, and the love it needs
Let’s give what we can, and receive the same
Three baby birds
Sit closely together
On a baby branch
Amused by a pink blossom
The first baby bird curiously gazed
The second one caught off guard
A little smirk above its tender beak
The third bird looks in the direction opposite of all
Maybe it spotted the mother bird
With worms in her beak
Happy it looked on
Just ready to eat
Baby waves
Pretty
Holding hands with every molecule of their little hearts
Bubbling, gushing towards the shore
Mighty mama waves roar
Rush, with a lightning speed
And tuck in safe, the baby waves
Before they break onto the shore
Gurgling receding, pleading
Mama no Mama no
Mama let me go
No baby no
No, not yet
Alone
To the shore

The window had bars
To protect the one
By the ledge, uncaring of the heights
When deep in a conversation
How eerily close on the edge
So the window had bars
to protect
In School

Don't take me seriously, kids having summer vacations and I am on a roll :))

An inspiration
Is a source
A memory
Moments from the past
Remembered today
A moment happens
Every moment to pass
Beads and crystals
As one can collect
Beading into time
The inspiration
Of present
A rare
Ornamental piece
Way forward
Into the future
The chain links
The past becomes a part of the present
Beads and crystals
Forever
Inspired
Beams of gold
Whispered in the meadows
Where rainbows grew
The veins of tender leaves
Sparkled and shined
As the barks of trees
Transparent and tall
Branching in translucent fruits
Magically in the twigs
Covering every leaf
The beams of gold


✨✨
Whispered softly
Heard clearly
By the loved ones
Silence unspoken
Familial or familiar
It’s the beating hearts
Over the distance
Together In silence
After a long time spoke with my  friend,
she and I were closest friends:)
We live in different time zones now,
and conversations sometimes can get limited!!
What’s beauty that is captured
In frames
Youthful exuberance
Trapped
In evergreen bottles
Translucent
The potion for immortality
Sought and sold
For
Weary souls and brittle bones  
opaque the vision
Fractal-intrusions
Inspired by a movie
Heartening
In its days of glory
Slowly dying an eternal end
Profundity In Verses
Perfect Tenses

Pretty Indent
Pulsating In Content
Thankful to be a part of HP , get to read so many beautiful poems here . :)
Drunk on the nectar
Crinkled wings the butterfly still
One last sip savoured
A lone kingfisher
Meditates on lotus bud
Fish in the pond springs

Tigress walks her cubs
Ferocious, in her ways
Grooms with love, to prey

A stag in the woods
Flies with swiftness of the wind
Sacred its antlers
Inspired by photos shared by a friend!
Thanks for reading. :)
To start the Day...
A wake up call by the Mindclock
Before the  Alarm Clock.

Your children's embrace .

A little chat with your friend
While on a morning walk.

Watching flowers in bloom.
Chirping of birds ..

All this on a busy Day
Makes One's Day

*"Happiness is Derived ...
In the time spent doing what we Like "
" Happiness is derived in the time spent doing what we like ",
this suggestion came from my Older son , Amitabh , while he played cricket this morning.

So, included it :)
For today's prompt Unnoticed.

Along with the morning mists
The tender leaves gently  uncurl
Soak in the first rays of the Sun
Listen closely to the dew
And its translucent views
Up in the mists
Rolls the voice of the soul
Behold


🌿🌿
Alone, I am happy

          Convinced

            Will never be
Left
             Alone
My flaws are perfect
My mistakes are perfect
Makes me more human .

The dictionary defined perfect
It can't and never be me
Wants me to be flawless .
We all have our beliefs
And we follow them
Wherever they take us
Sometimes they bring us luck
Sometimes we are stuck
By the same
Unable to move beyond
The mistakes
Unable to acknowledge
Any
They bring us whatever we believe in
The beliefs
Allow us to live through
The mistakes
The luck
The success
All the experiences
And soon
We learn to live
Believe
Life is a stepping stone
Whiling away
Comes easy
Trying takes a lot of trying

Don’t ever quit
You have immense potential
Believe in yourself

Express and communicate
Your fears your beliefs
It’s freeing a relief

Regrets and progress
Part of the process
Of finding true self

Be limitless
Written- 20-02-2020
A pattern of change
Myriad colour leaves fall
Bespoke nature song
In your prime
The world is at your feet
On the downfall
It's you on your feet
Or none at all

So , be there for yourself
Be it prime or downfall
Just something I strongly feel , and so shared here !

These days
I don’t feel like writing
What I feel about
The feeling itself escapes my thoughts
But life has its say, makes you sway
In every way
Sometimes
It’s more than the sun and twinkling stars
And pearly moon’s glow  
Beyond the words the words have other places to go
There is something special about your parental home
Folks waiting at the door, for your arrival
A warm welcome and hugs
Siblings cousins nephews and nieces
The love and smiles
And the chatter
Makes your heart come alive
On a visit to my parents home
Bhaiya Dooj, a festival celebrated during Diwali, it marks the special bond between brothers and sisters (siblings and cousins)
The little bird chirps its happy song
Knows to this place it belongs
Every morning on the window sill
Sings its wake up song
Full of hope and possibilities
Welcomes the new Dawn
The Bitter Gourd
Spiked like a Crocodile's back
Bitter it tastes
keeps
Blood Sugar levels
In Check

All The Confectionery and Sweets
Tasty &
Tempting to Eat
Stimuli To
Blood Sugar Levels
Imbalance
Bitter Gourd 'karela ' in Hindi , despised by the kids and many adults alike , health benefits it has many .
And who doesn't like sweets, not always good for health.

Lightly Put :
For today's prompt
Horrible: Adorable.

Blessings of words
Arrived in a parcel of dreams
Best dressed

Fearlessly facing fears
Riveting heights
Rungs of the ladder, uneven
Ancient lamp lit, climb through the dark

Rivers and sky
A world in between
Swimming, hoping to fly
Beyond the crest

Reaping not rusting
Into the last harvest
Forever foraging, the wild within
Wilderness alive

Gratitude laden fragrance
Never ever to bottle the essence
In the world of words
Living wild and free



✨🌿🌿✨
The blue bird flies
Colours of its feathers
Merges with the sky

Golden ribbons shimmered
Through the trees
Blue bird, mid air whirs, catches a fly

The blue bird sings
Verditer Flycatcher, the name
That’s my name, my name, my name
Mumbai, City of dreams
Financial Capital and
Most populated Metropolitan
city in India .

India's premier scientific and
Nuclear Institutes
Are in Mumbai .

The film and Television
Industry also is in Mumbai .
Weather Humid throughout the year.

All this to the world .

For Me
My Favourite city and Place.

The best childhood days spent during Summer Vacations
With extended family .

Juhu beach , a favourite hangout
For us all cousins
A Jing bang of sorts :)

Making sand castles
Jumping in and out
   of the
Sea waves together
Holding hands
Shouting out aloud .

Memories Memories And Memories
Never Let them go.
In fact ,
Make many More
With the Gen-Next ..
That's what I am in for !!
Bombay now renamed Mumbai ,
Will always remain Bombay for me .

Have the best memories of this place . Visit it as often to reminisce old ones and make many more with  family!!
Currently In Mumbai :)
I am part of many groups
Yet, not part of any
Part of the crowd
Yet, free like a bird
Like the neem tree
Rooted
And its branches sway free
Boundless the capabilities
Limiting the limitations
Step towards boundless self
Small steps, steady and sure
Love is abstract ,so it attracts.
One feeling  , universal  to all living beings.

Plants ,loved and nurtured ,swing and sway to the music played .
Holding roots, withstanding storms ,Going lush green when truly loved .
Bearing nuts and berries or flowers in bloom .
What a sight to behold .

Animals , you feed them ,pets or non pets ,they follow you everywhere ,
Wanting to have more and giving back even more ,Love that is .

Humans , blessed of all the beings,
We can express  ourselves through thoughts and words .
Love we receive from and reciprocate to
parents siblings spouse children friends and all fellow beings .

It's true that some barren fields do not yield
Should it stop one from looking beyond,
There are greener pastures waiting to be found.
God's ways and love is profound.

If I could , I would be a floating pontoon to the many lost souls ,
Bridging their path and holding them together,
Till eternity !!
Coz love in abundance I have found.
Once more , sharing it here  :)
Thanks

Trees stay rooted

Sway in gay abandon

Bracing for the storms

Giving what they can

Morning glories, blue
In a cane ***, brimming smiles
Rustic breeze blows free

River rowers sail
Rafters raft in the rapids
Still waters stay calm
Redolent flowers

Millions of butterflies hung

Golden yellow blooms
Amaltas (Hindi) - *******/ Indian laburnum/ Cassia Fistula tree

These flowers( *******) are in full bloom in the month of May. The blooms, mildly fragrant, droop down and to me they look like yellow butterflies.
Wings of butterfly  

Swallowtails burgundy-green

Leaves on tender stems
Christia  obcordata

Under the shade of the banyan tree
And green cascading leaves
Lay shoes and backpacks on the ground
Bicycle handles curled to the left
Parked by the lake
On the side stand
There were sounds of laughter and music
On the other side
Quiet the water in the lake
Inspired by a photo

Footprints evanesce

Ocean spirits undulate

***** sidle amok
The doors, open
The home somewhat broken

By the stream
The poems we read

Missing from the home street
By the stream, meet

Read many, some new
Some you always knew

Time forsaken
Doors open, somewhat broken

Missing from the home street
Lost, maybe found

By the stream
The poems we read
Hp pages, latest  home front
It’s just a thought, limerick on the rock

Waves bring ashore the big croc

Quite like the king of River Nile

It sports cool spikes and a rapacious smile

Chased by paparazzi, camera shy the croc, froze out of shock
Forgot to count the syllables for the limerick and it became a rhyme :))
Candy floss sweet pink
The vendor skilled at the job
Years of happiness

Who are these leaders
Who choose grim gruesome wars
A solution, over peace

History haunts
Grieves and taunts
Knowing what wars bring along

Technologically empowered
Primitive and regressive in thoughts
Progressive world, are we ?

Yet to free ourselves
From the microscopic being
Held us captive as jewels in its crown

In cages the minds swept
Invisible the buildup
Outcome, one can see, outbursts

Disconnected, broken some remain
Breaking what they can’t own
Will this war come to an end
Prayers for peace 🙏
I love this place
But it looks pale
Much to dole out
Losing the trail
Heavy
Feels like it would derail
Should I offload
Or
Maybe wait for help
Long forgotten
None to bail
Connoisseur curates

The walls adorned, gratitude

Reverence in paint
A long story
short

Keeps
My attention

Short
Catalyst*              
Good to be one in the chemical world !!
But the real world ~ make believe
It takes more than to be a  
catalyst !!
Change is inevitable ,
why resist!!
Catalyst in the chemical world accelerates the chemical reaction, but it keeps its chemical properties intact.
Whereas in the real world we become catalysts to some people and some people can be to us , so change is inevitable to all , so why resist.
As far as it is positive, it should happen 'change'
Posting this again , had deleted it earlier.
Can't see new poems on the homepage .
???
The sounds in the mind confined
Aberrations
Attuned
Silent musings
Words do all the writing
