Zephyr's touch

Zephyr holding its lively gait,
Touched beauty's braid,
Unleashing the tresses' freedom,
Giving her an embrace, warm,
As the melting moment sets.

TRIVIA

Yellow

Yellow, blinding rays of the sun,
Eyes closing from the burn.
Yellow,a sunflower smiling wide,
Mustard fields by the river side.
Yellow, on ferocious tiger and tiny bee,
Drawn with black alternatively.
Yellow, a tinge of lemon squeeze,
Tangy burst of fresh breeze.
Yellow, an aromatic spice,
To the world, India ties.
Yellow, trifle a metal,
So valuable, rest becomes et al.
Yellow, a blithe spirit,
Otherwise a "chicken" feet.
Yellow, a sign to caution,
On the nails gaining attention.
Yellow, a soothing song,
A rose for friendship strong.
Yellow, but just a colour shade,
Primary along with blue and red.

Day 25 - Letter Y submission

X

X, the tricky alphabet,
Arrives in the series late.
Add it to hold ‘a’ and ‘e’,
You could bring down a tree.
Glued to ‘ray’ before,
Malaise poses for a photo.
Replace ‘Christ’ with X,
A festival abbreviates.
Punctuate it with a colon,
Expresses an emotion.
Gift it to your partner pairing with ‘e’,
Your status becomes absolutely free.
X, the tricky alphabet,
Carefully place it mate.

TRIVIA
---------
{ Tried out the rhyme for X}

Day 24- Letter X submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013.

Woman, that I love

Watch of your eyes,
Unveiling my concealed worries,
A hold so tight,
Filling the confidence I need,
Woman, you are the mother I love,
O! Sure I do.

Wrangle over the candies less,
Spoiling your painting,
Relentless jabber and complains,
Accomplice of my tree house secrets,
Woman, you are the sister I love,
O! Sure I do.

Warmth of your embrace,
Smell of that fragrance on you,
A smile welcoming home,
Gentle kiss to do,
Woman, you are the wife I love,
O! Sure I do.

Wiggling uneven plaits,
Polka dotted hat and dress,
Riding on me throughout the day,
A sister, wife and mother to be,
Woman, you are the daughter I love,
O! Sure I do.

TRIVIA

{ A man's love for the women in her life. }

Void

Veiled in the assurance of confidence,
Void of untamed nervousness.

Deafened by the loud victory cheers,
Void of silent failures.

Painted in vibrant concoction of colours,
Void of the white.

Drowned in the vivacious spirit,
Void of lazy sadness.

Blinded by the sheen of eminence,
Void of anonymity.

Engulfed by the vastness of life,
Void of mortal death.

TRIVIA
--------
{ The void of every negativity gets diminished by the positive vibes that surround. }

Up in the sky

Up in the blue sky,
Among the cottony clouds so high,
The rays of sun piercing through,
Spreading the mat of rainbow hue,
When the bird-of-steel flies by.

The unforgettable childhood days

Tender age, no worries to bear,
Inexhaustible revelry,
Unchained spirits,
Energy, bountiful.

Aiming at the ripe mangoes,
Riding the cycle broken,
Hop-scotch with innocence,
Hide to seek, a serious affair.

Playful mates, what rich or poor?
Each one holds a chance fair,
The summer shade, muddy rain,
Everything a cheerful game,

Imagination walks the wall,
A talking crow, a Spiderman,
Millions of questions ringing.
Yes, No but answer all.

No tall aspirations hurdle,
Each day a new ambition,
Now preserving, before it erodes,
The unforgettable childhood days.

TRIVIA
----------
{ The wonderful days of childhood, the fun and the tension free life.}

Silent, Serene Himalayas

Snow clad magnanimous presence align,
Living through eons, kissing the sky,
Sequin necklace adorning the Earth,
A monastery of peace abode.

Vedic scripts and religious chants sound,
Divinity mingled in the air that shroud,
Humble doorway to the world,
Enticing everyone, for a climb above.

Deafened by the fire fight,
Blind to the bloodshed that arrive,
Each side screams, “You are mine”,
Standing amidst ashes pile.

I wonder how the ugly mind,
Not mesmerized by this beauty line?
Expressing no anguish or vengeance,
The silent, serene Himalayas.

Day 19 - Letter S submission

Roasted Childhood

Riot of emotions inside a home,

The ladle shouts loud,

And briefcase slaps the floor,

Whom to blame? Who is not wrong?

The moments of love dead,

Crying in the grave alone.

A toddler in the cradle,

The older one behind the curtain,

Laden everyday with raped affection,

Bereaved of a lullaby, parental touch,

Negligence gives them its lap to snuggle.

To gulp the annoyance,

Unlock their horns, atone,

Difficult the reality,

If only the jacket of ego could shed off,

To patch up the family that is torn.

TRIVIA

--------

{ The most affected members of family feuds are the kids and their childhood. }

Day 18 - Letter R submission

Quietly Yours

Queued, numerous beautiful faces,
Wooing you with aces.
I stand hiding behind my flaws,
Waiting for a glance if I could draw.

My appearance messy, heart clean,
Too many to defeat in between.
If only you could feel my presence,
Longing you under the moon, crescent.

Your vastness and magnificence,
Makes me insignificant,
Expressing to you, my courage wanes,
Not to love, that pains.

A little dare, you could be mine,
To bathe in your affection and shine.
Offering my emotions pure,
Quietly yours.

TRIVIA
--------
{ This is a love confession of a girl who believes she aint beautiful like the rest of them around. }

Day 17- Letter Q submission forApril A to Z Challenge 2013

Pen

Pointed mighty sword,

Writer of shapeless thoughts,

On paper,

But imprints the soul,

Dot, blot, calligraphy drawn,

A romantic epistle flows,

Or a war memoir in bold,

A signature, so rare, it carves,

Harbinger of goodness or evil,

With words that fall,

Prize, possession or legacy,

Guardian of many untold heresies.

Day 16 - Letter P submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013

Old man on the street

One busy road crowded all day,
Rags fallen, riches riding quicker,
A leper hand finds it's way,
While two others bicker.

Sultry surrounding cruelly rules,
Roasting a skeleton self,
Fate acting on him like a ghoul,
Caring father of past, disowned by his own whelp.

Why has he stretched his hands?
Asking money or little care ?
Looks at me with a broken smile and,
Buried eyes filled with despair.

As the colour goes all green,
Air slaps me in its flight,
That old man's sight tearing me within,
As I head home, he befriends the streetlight.

TRIVIA
---------
{ The old beggar on the street left alone by his own children. }

Day 15 - Letter O submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013

Never shall I part

Nonchalantly near you,
So close, never too far,
Resonating the crests and troughs,
Of your heartbeat,
I fathom you, your presence so dear.

When happiness goes stingy,
Life itself our foe,
The thought of leaving,
Not now, not then,
Never when time’s grim.

With broken oars,
In a drowning boat,
I shall stand by you,
If only death has me,
Else, never shall I part from you.

TRIVIA
---------
{ Standing by the person you love the most in thick and thin. }

Marriage or Mirage

Money, material, need of mind,

Avarice licks the soul,

A sale at no discounted price,

Meek bride standing at the wedding stall.

Parental care, an investment for future,

Advocates the groom’s mother,

Bending down at his waist,

Dignity of that girl’s father,

A nuptial knot to be tied,

Between greed and plead,

Sealed with religious hymns,

For boarding the voyage,

Is it Marriage or a Mirage?

TRIVIA

----------

{ The pious institution of marriage has been cursed in many parts of the world with dowry. The very base of such marriages eventually makes a mirage for the girl's side.}

Love

Loitering, emotions unknown,

Flamboyance ushers,

The adamant mind accedes,

To the call of passionate zephyr,

A force gushing through the veins,

Parched lips bolt,

One butterflies’ tiara hover,

The evening sky beholds,

Beauty praises its own,

And the flip of a page musical,

Garrulous self, mum,

Engrossed, lost,

A humble submission,

To that grandeur feeling called Love.

TRIVIA

----------

{ My first date with Love. :) }

Knitted by Kismet

Kismet maneuvered our meet,

Crossing the cross-way when I sprained my feet,

Agonizing pain ran through the nerves,

Not a heart came, a pinch of kindness to serve,

I moved to the sidewalk near,

Suddenly felt your unknown touch to cure,

Barrels of tear soaked my soul,

When you felt my ache without being told,

Your eyes conveyed a thousand words, deep,

Couldn't let you go stray but keep,

Knitted are we two, with the thread of affection,

No human; dear dog you taught me a lesson.

TRIVIA

----------

{ This was how one of my friend got a pet dog in a stray one. }

Day 11 - Letter K submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013.

Just when you were born

Just when you were born,

A tiny little gift wrapped in bliss,

Cuddled in my arms,

Crying to the noise around,

Flickering your lids,

To the sunlight bright,

Pouting your lips pink,

Beating your feet in freedom,

Strange faces surround,

So many bonds to know,

A sister, brother, father,

Our lovely neighbour Joe,

But the one that you always knew,

Through the cord within,

Was me. Yes, that’s true,

Making me feel strong, fresh and new.

TRIVIA

Insomniac

I’m on the sea-shore, inside the shack,

The breeze singing lullaby yet sleep I lack,

Searching our rendezvous’ reminiscence,

Under the blanket of your absence,

Am I missing you or I am just an insomniac?

TRIVIA

----------

{ An insomniac's romantic encounter and hence the confusion of the obvious sleeplessness. }

Just tried the AABBA rhyming used in limerick, though this isn't of that genre entirely. Or may be. What do you think ?

Day 9 - Letter I submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013.

Happiness

Happiness, what is it ?

The eternal essence of life,

Or an incessant strive,

Quenching of a thirsty throat,

Or vacation with friends, off road,

A homeless feeding a stray dog,

Or dance of rain and croaking frog,

The first baby step of a child,

Or saving trees and the wild,

At teenage, the virgin kiss,

Or caressing the grayed wisp,

The smell of success young,

Or listening to an old soothing song,

Happiness, what is it ?

An ethereal, ephemeral cheat.

TRIVIA

----------

{ A trial to decipher the code of happiness which eventually does not last for long. }

Day 8 - Letter H submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013.

Good Morning! I never said

Ghetto, my sprawling luxurious home,

Gunny bags filled with desires, numb,

Grungy dumpster hiding broken toys,

Gorgeous rags stitched with threads of joy,

Gruelling pain of blistered feet,

Grains of food, we rarely meet,

Glittering stars my roof overhead,

Good Morning! I never said.

TRIVIA

----------

{ The young boy from the ghetto speaks. A hint of the the life that he lives there. Every morning starts with a struggle for him. }

FEAR

Freezing mind,

Sinking heart,

Sweating hands don’t hold,

Season be any, there remains cold,

Silly exams, cockroaches or nothing,

Gruesome sins,handful crimes,

A figure smeared white,

The silhouette of fright.

TRIVIA

----------

{ Most of us have a fear of something. What is it for you ? }

Elephant ride

Enormous grey soft seat,

Supported on four strong wheels,

Two fans beating the wind on my face,

Ivory hangers for the swing,

Trunk that lifts me upright,

O how I enjoyed my Elephant ride!

Swaying left and right,

Atop an ecstasy rush,

Hearing a gigantic heartbeat,

So similar to mine,

No King, Queen or Knight,

O how I enjoyed my Elephant ride !

TRIVIA

----------

{ Remembering an old childhood memory.}

Day 5 - Letter E submission for April A to Z Challenge 2013.

Do it!

Do it when there’s time,

It won’t matter later,

How much you whine?

A confession to the Lord,

Don’t wait, Do it.

An opportunity to grab,

Don’t lack, Do it.

A dream to cheer,

Don’t hesitate, Do it.

A sorry to say,

Don’t have ego, Do it.

A friend to forgive,

Don’t doubt, Do it.

A proposal to that hidden love,

Don’t fear, Do it.

A family to take care,

Don’t step back, Do it.

A name to your being,

DARE and Do it.

TRIVIA

{ A lot of thinking, stops us from doing the right thing at the right time. “Do it” explores that. }

Cluttered Chimera

Cacophony of caravan chatter,

Curious cuckoo on a cab,

Clumsy, confused coiffeur hums,

Carelessly curing my chum,

Capricious cavalry cuddle,

Calmly grazing cattle,

Can full of chaotic cockroach,

Camel coming holding a crutch,

Chandelier of carcasses,

Crimson crown concealed in a case,

Chasing the clue of crooked mascara,

Call it off; it’s just my cluttered chimera.

TRIVIA

-----------

{ This is about an absolutely irrelevant, messed up series of scenes from my illusion or fantasy or dream or chimera, call it anything. A weird one, for sure it is, isn't it? }

BEAUTY

“Beauty”, says the admirer eyes,

A painting or poetry,

The sunset at the shore,

A tiny boat in the high tide,

Shimmering street of lights.

“Beauty”, says the admirer eyes,

No black, No fair,

A loving heart to dive,

Breaking unknown chains,

Freedom, having its independent flight.

“Beauty”, says the admirer eyes,

A tear drop,

An innocent smile,

A blooming flower,

Alright.

TRIVIA

----------

{ The abstract essence of beauty always lies in the eyes of the admirer. Hence its meaning is relative to each one of us. }

APRIL

April, I start with the first letter A,

You thought I begin with Fool’s day,

Spring, my bosom mate,

Blossoming Earth, rejuvenates.

Thirty days every year, alive,

I wish more, if the calendar could connive.

{ The month of April desires to live a little longer with it's friend Spring. }
