Unnoticed Yet Necessary – A Poem

hands

 

He looked into my eyes

Red, swollen, unslept

I tried to smile

Memories of erstwhile

I’d leave him long back already

But he stood unnoticed but necessary

He saw me move & saw me fall

He saw me fail & saw me crawl

I’d leave him long back already

Still he stood unnoticed but necessary

Today I met him yet again

My cold hands he held in rain

Many a came in the meanwhile

None a steady hand or glory to stand high

I’d leave him long back already

Yet he stood unnoticed but necessary

A look at him a lot he changed

His arms now stronger and

the hair I liked longer

Not heeding my tears asked I

Reason for waiting and the why

As I’d leave him long back already

Why he stood unnoticed but necessary

“Ananya” the first word I heard

That moment for me the world blurred

“Many did come and pass by

And you ask me I stay why

All wanted you as silent wind

None could handle your heart’s stormy cry

I knew the waves come to kiss the shore

I can handle your heart’s storm core

Yes, you did leave me long back already

You my love, reason for me to remain unnoticed yet necessary

You my treasure, reason for me to remain unnoticed yet necessary.”

Guard Your heart – A Triolet poem

trust poem

 

Tried my hand at Triolet. A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines. Hope you like it 🙂

I am quite overage to see cartoons but as they say there is so age to enjoy cartoon 🙂 Every time I see a town in a cartoon series I feel like hopping in the television and living there especially Noddy loved that town 🙂 I clicked this picture outside a store in Malaga and was so fascinated that I had to write a dreamy poem on it 🙂 Try to find and match the poem with the picture 🙂

मुतज़ाद – The opposites

Fire

 

 

मुतज़ाद

 

ख्वाइशों की बिजलियाँ

गरजी बिस्तर पे

तन्हाइयों का शोर कातिलाना रहा

 

मौसम बदले

साथ करवटें भी

        इस प्यास को बुझाने का सलीक़ा न मिला

 

अर्श – ए – ज़िम उम्मीद छोड़

ताब रखा कमज़ोर सिकुड़ती तपिश पे

ताक़त रुबा , ताज़ा – ए – शिरीन , नाब वही एक सहारा निकला

 

मुतज़ाद – Opposites, सलीक़ा – proper way, अर्श – ए – ज़िम – highest (seventh) sky, ताब – patience, ताक़त रुबा – that which saps/drains the strength,  ताज़ा – ए – शिरीन – fresh and sweet, नाब – unadulterated

An innovative concept brought in by my blogger friend Ravish where he challenged us few bloggers to write on a audio prompt. Tried my hand at the challenge 🙂

I have written a Cinquain for her 🙂

Bestie!

Lifeline

Wish you a super duper birthday!!

Visit my first attempt at Cinquain here. Cinquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of twenty-two syllables distributed as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, in five lines. It was developed by the Imagist poet, Adelaide Crapsey. Another form, sometimes used by school teachers to teach grammar, is as follows:

Line 1: Noun
Line 2: Description of Noun
Line 3: Action
Line 4: Feeling or Effect
Line 5: Synonym of the initial noun.
