#nandi poems on Hello Poetry

Julius Mwanja Jr Dec 2021

She woke up on the right side of the bed and the sky is shinning bright like ever, with her perfect smile she smiles like she was Eva.
The feeling was strong as the joy clicked her mind like it was her favorite song
With a perfect morning and so nothing seemed wrong
So she let her dreams be the distant cousins to her nightmares
With hope her sister to her prayers and bravery the father to her fears
In a battle between personality and reality
So she planned deeply as she felt the love, so she prepared
She found some clothes and got dressed.
She couldn’t help but look in the mirror and subtly she was impressed
How her life was rough around the edges and yet casually messed.
As she looked in the glances out her window; she sees the sight that she was blessed

You see this was an African woman at the age of 16
The girl with a dream to shine like a star or brighter
A story foretold but this was truly her story
This was truly her feelings
The girl with a story to tell
But her life was no fairly tale; cause behind her smile is everything she tried to live behind
Behind her smile i saw pain; I saw stain across the heart I saw where it hurts and then I saw the truth and yes I saw both marks.
but I stood back as ****** , I watch with no response does that make me guilty of the sins that was just done.
You see this was the life of a young African woman whose life was undone

I wrote this when we first meet and she asked me to write about her based on the little she told me

The Face of Lord Shiva

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This poem is self translated version of my Hindi language poem titled "शिव स्वरूपं" published in pratilipi on (Dec. 2017) Can be read through the link ==>> https://bit.ly/2P4j7vE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That face of Lord Shiva is most beautiful in which he holds Ganga in his hairs
The Moon feels blessed by beautifying the head of Shiva as a glittering crown

The Serpants also became jewellery by themselves and decorated his blue neck
Shiva holds the trident on one hand and plays the Damroo from the other one

He has seated himself on a mat of Tiger Skin and rubbed pyre ash on his body
He has left elephant and the horses and decided to travel on an old Bull Nandi

By such an amazing face form, he is always ready for the welfare of devotees
The cruel and wicked have always been afraid of his eldritch face and form.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Shiva (See Line 1): A God (The Destroyer) in Hindu Mythology
Ganga (See Line 1): The Holy river whose flow and speed is controlled by the coiled hairs (Jatas) of Lord Shiiva
Damroo(See Line 4): A sort of musical instrument ( Pellet Drum )
Nandi((See Line 6)): A bull in Indian mythology who is the vehicle of Lord Shiva

The Mesmerizing Face of God Shiva

Debanjana Saha Dec 2017

Blooming Sunrise

How nature blooms
Is a precious experience to pause
And watch
In the oasis of fog, mist and wind blowing all over
Chills & thrills exposure
of the ambience
speeding through the roads.
It feels like heaven
Full of love, with a kiss of the first ray of the sun
I took a deep breath
as much as I could
Sensing the myself alive
In this beautiful dreamy land
a sense of belongingness
Saying to myself that
yes, I do exist.*

-19 Dec, 2017

This on the early morning where I watched sunrise on top of a hill. A journey which is worth thousand times more than anything.
A reality check to feel life all over again and learn how to appreciate smallest things in life.
