Age of reason

Asking questions
Giving-up beliefs
Evoking thoughts

Offering hope
Frantic measures



Raising voices
Effortless curiosity
Always ready  
Seeking change
Openly challenging
Newfangled lot
 

For Acrostic only

The Road To Wedding

Together we weave this dream
Humming the song of love
Eternal togetherness it would be! 

Relishing the bits and pieces
Of passion, devotion, admiration
Aromatic bond blooming within
Dearer are these dreams

Time! Why doesn’t it just fly?
Oh! Magical would be the day

Wearing the shimmers and glitters
Entering from far away, I know
Dearer is nothing to me than being with you
Deep are those eyes that say, "My love
In life and death we won’t be apart
Never would I let this smile fade away
God has pronounced us Man and Wife"

10 Rewind


Pre Script-"10 Rewind is a short memoir poetry of the 10 hours spent during Sunday. Its a part of my Legacy Writing series which i would keep following up. I was inspired by Ruskin Bond who i read through a large part of the day, although I do not follow his style or flow of poetry (he is a genius). The day of a li'll seclusion left a lot of space for introspection," says Rajeev Khanna



Like rising from the wrapped cocoon,
I get up from the winter veil,
Heading my way into the Sunday crowd,
I feel the sun and the scathing gale.

My Steps move down but I’m looking up,
a long lens vision ‘n a zoom out task,
Preparing for another odyssey,
I swallow the diet ‘n wear the mask,

My moves and tasks lack imposition,
A li’ll uncommon my words read here,
For all the years I’ve learnt to follow,
A treaded path with a wing and a prayer,

A breath of fresh air,
A gas guzzling smoke engine,
Layers of lifestyle,
Pot-holes ‘n high-rise region,

I jump into an ocean of words,
With a glass full of sand in my hand,
I go deeper, Diving and flowing,
In streams of water continuing my errand,

In the depths I see an angelic glow,
Answers to my asks in a treasure trove,
I keep the riches and spill the sand,
Out I’m greeted by the sky brighter but mauve.

An Ode to Cough!

Go away!
I detest you for the pain you give
And the times you make me groan

You are ugly
You are sad
You have made me ‘mad’

Why is it that you come?
And when you are here
You don’t like to return

Go away!
To the grunge you belong to
And never come back


Let me breathe
Let me smile once again
Why don’t you go away?

P.S.: This is a way of venting out my frustration as I had been suffering from severe cough lately.

Bet

Boisterous uncanny guess

Erasing all reality

Trusting only instinct

Autism

Augmented with ideas around,
Usual they may seem,
To them who understand.
I find them hard
Simple yet complex words
Mind is badly trapped

Speaking Out

Shell of unspoken words

Peeping from every corner

Easing an unheard tale

Advancing through wondrous ways

Kept tied for long

Introvert I was called

Not anymore I am

Giving up all inhibitions


Opening to new ways

Unexpected is the effect

Terrific is the feeling
