Just think about it... The word earth E A R T H has the word ART in it. To me it means this planet is blessed with a creative energy meant to birth many kinds of artists including poets.

Yeah poets!

Hello Poetry to me is just another joint family
How by a common bond, here we are strung together
Though separated by geographical boundaries
Distance has never been a hitch or a tether

Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for heights
Your heart felt blessings give me loads of happiness
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience

Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light
With words of encouragement, you vanquish all my doubts
Revitalizing my spirit and leaving it shimmering bright

Through this forum we share our inmost thoughts
How close we feel though never been together
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor

Irrespective of creed we are here at art’s sacred shrine
‘Poets’ we are called and we breathe the scented pride
We stand tall among many others of our species
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!
Please don’t see this as a poem, but an expression of my deep feelings of gratitude! I am so happy about the enthusiastic response I get for my poems and am short of words to thank Hello Poetry and my fellow poets here! These days I am ******* with some family responsibilities and am unable to read poems I wish to read or comment!  The pressing engagements at the home front compel me to take a short break from you all! Hope to be back after two weeks. In between, whenever I get time, I shall try to see your poems…

I sat starring into candle light.
Glowing wick meshed with wax
releasing amber glow.

Dancing flame
released aura grand
causing my being
to be mesmerized

Orange, red, and white
opened mind
as prayer I whispered.

It traveled over
hills and valleys of atmosphere.
It spiraled in wind of day merging
with drifting clouds.
It entered vortex of group consciousness
available to those who visit.

There it was sealed,
for others to feel its energetic light
and power.

A prayer for abundance,
good health, and freedom
for all who inhabit earth.

It was a prayer
for peace
with all
including our galaxy
allies.

It is waiting
for the many to align.

I asked for one more poem before I went into day, connected, and this is what writer guide and I collaborated to do.
Blazon Burning Hearth
My love demands sacrifices from beginning to end
My sweetheart all have been burnt alive not to sustain
Every love story sets but a different and unique trend
Torture follows happiness and happiness follows pain

Purity comes when tears are sprinkled on burning fire
Hence chastity is being done when fire gets ablution
With human wishes sentiments, passion and love desire
Beauty has to come to bloom to gloom love with fashion

Very many loved and passed in real distress and disgust
They have embraced contempt ,hatred cynicism with wrath
Love takes beauty from ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Love is nothing but a really severely burning blazon hearth

Love Needs
I am willing to go to extremes if one pleads
My behavior will lead to stability in my love
The chance to reflect on just my love needs
I am afraid to reveal radical desires my dove

Please accept me and my humble honesty
And forget about my odds and difficulities
But never ever challenge my sheer integrity
Take my heart in your palm to kiss please

Then it is up to you to keep it or to throw
In a dust bin with your hands full of blood
Allow me to be part of your beauty to flow
My blood is in your service like violent flood

RAIN

To begin with there begins a little sprinkle, only a delicate sound

just delicate, a small "titter" as it taps on your secondary passage.

This, at to begin with, you have a go at overlooking 'til it's decidedly pouring

it reestablishes and continues invigorating each living thing around.

At that point it streams down the timber of the trees with branches agile

what's more, the leaves surrender clean as, drinking heartily, they sup.

Where the beads make a sprinkle, there the drainpipe begins a ******

or, on the other hand it tickles through the rings 'til it douses into the ground.

In the canal there's a puddle, only a little center obfuscate

at that point it develops into a gusher as it sputters past the control.

This downpour tumbles towards the tar, ten times as quick and twice as far

as the tormented educators pull at both their tunics and their sleeve.

Furthermore, once more, it makes an air pocket and makes a little inconvenience

for the wetness of the water causes sobbing from the astute.

There's a flooding of the fields as the water waves and wheels

what's more, the grieving Mormons on their bicycles are crying to the skies.

While the raindrops keep running round edges and they swell down the extensions

at that point they join the happy excursion at the intersection with a run.

When they accumulate in the canal there's a sputtering, merry splutter

with a splashing and expression, they're singing as they clear out.

There's a stammer and a shake as the gusher battles a fight

with the gravity of planet as it joins the droning throng.

However, it's inclination is constant and disregards each safe

pattern of obstructions as determinedly it wends it's direction once more.

Presently it looks for the last butcher and it jumps into the water

of the sea at the passageway of the place we call the narrows.

There's a happy "hurrah" of adulating to the Ruler who has been looking

down on every one of his youngsters, named or not, who looked for his favored 'Rain'.
Your Smile
When my love you smile you look more beautiful
Your smile being unique takes over the universe
You are so pure and chaste like a wonderful angel
Hence you are so gorgeous and so lovingly diverse
I have appreciation but you deserve more than that
Hence you have intoxicated me with beauty's wine
Under any definition you are mesmeric and just great
Please take my hand in yours declare you're mine
Intensity of my love if you intend to ever measure
With the fiery passion of mine you will but burn
For me you are eternal pleasure as well as treasure
Even if you leave magnet of love will make return

A Writer
A writer is the bestowed one so he is strange
Creativity takes him to the shadows of loneliness
It is this blessing which takes him out of range
Sheer torture and pain are out of just sheer bless

In the valleys of wilderness he aspires for wonder
Love and beauty are shades to make understand
In him very many blades crop up to cut and asunder
His all frequencies are commanded by many bands

Pain is his life torture is his domain to increase pain
But being selected one he has to go through all rut
Showers of poisonous at times , at times mercy rain
Open up very many avenues, vistas and many to shut

Parents

From the age 1, I have not been alone, maybe not alone but still empty. Us far away but hearts still connected. I miss you so & wish you could come back. We could be together eating a snack. Seeing my mom’s beautiful face & my dad’s handsome smile but this will take longer than just a mile, seeing them together will bring me joy.

All I ever wanted was you guys to be together but maybe it’s not meant to be? but I wish that my parents can be here with me. Seeing you love each other would be the most beautiful
sight & it would feel the room with delight.

I love you mom & and hope you know you have never left my heart even though we may be apart. I love you mom but please come back, not having you is a lack. I love you dad but please don’t go, I want you here with me so please don’t say no.

My love for you is unique & it’s a warm feeling almost very neat. Mom and Dad please come along, we can be together and hope it lasts long. We can be happy, we could feel love & we would be rising up above.

Not seeing you guys for over ten years, is such a pain & not having my parents make me feel lame. Do you know how it feels to not to be alone yet empty? Or not having my own mom massage my cheek gently. Not having my own parents here, makes my eyes full with tears.

Crying every night for you & I know you feel the pain too.  Separated from you guys is horrible & I can’t think of anything more terrible. Being without you is like being a doughnut, I have a big hole in the middle , & it kind of hurts but only a little. I could be talking to you on the phone but that won’t change the fact that I still feel alone.
The very first poem I ever wrote hehe ;)
