An emotion sharp like a needle
Piercing deep through my heart
Mixed with feelings alien to me
Beckoning me to change my path
Chasing my dreams I flew afar
Never looked back where I began
Life was an abode of surprises
Every trail was a new experience
I searched for peace everywhere
My quest always ended in despair
Finally I went back home exhausted
Physically and emotionally drained
To that comfort undefinable by words
To a realisation where happiness lies…
I never miss my morning walk through the small farm area behind my house whenever I get time and surprisingly there is always something awaiting me to capture and write about.
Let me share with you what I found today…
This is the fallen petals of banana flower. I saw them on the floor and arranged it like this to click a picture. As always thoughts started to sprout in my mind about the short life of these petals and yes I tried to put those ramblings of my mind into words which you can read now.
I was bright and beautiful when born
Red as blood and skin soft as velvet
I wrapped myself around my little ones
Guarding them from harshness of days
They grew and the day I scared arrived
My protection was a burden for them
Detatched from my life I rested on soil
My colours faded and my skin dried up
I waited there with a spark of hope
Till the day I was embraced by earth…
Have a great day friends!
I sat there searching pages of my life
Wandering through my memory trail
My mind disturbed counting my losses
Which was seized mercilessly by time
Where did I lose my unfeigned smiles?
Where did I lose my innocent heart?
Untouched by the pollution and noise
My life started in this beautiful village
Nature filled my mind with its colours
Peace was what I was taught by them
Ego and jealosy was unknown words
Competition and greed was unfamiliar
Yearning to dive back to those days
With a heavy heart I returned back
Day light gave way to the darkness
Reminding me that it is time to leave…
My heart is filled with vibrant colours
Hard to accommodate its brilliance
Blinded by the magical touch of love
Soul is wandering freely unrestrained
Is it the flow of breeze controlling me
Because I am unable to see my way
Lost in the garden full of fresh blooms
Struggling to figure out what I want
Daily prompt – brilliance
Entrusting my life on tiny threads
Which are already breaking apart
Wait is long, hunger is strong
All I crave for is a prey in my web
All I can see is darkness ahead
With subtle movements beneath
Waiting to swallow me whole
Trying to figure out my feelings
Fear, hunger, anger or failure
Hope is fading away with time
A home fully ready to collapse
To push me into the deep hole
What awaits there; life or death
Can be answered only by time
I stood there unable to figure out
What exactly is the theory of life!
Its always known that there will be a light in the end of a dark tunnel. Though it is a very simple sentence, it projects the message of hope in the journey of life. The darkness of hardships and the light of accomplishments.
This is a well known fact of life. Am I being too philosophical? Though that is not my intention this view made me think philosophically. The sea is still bright and full of light while everything on the shore was engulfed in darkness.
Standing on the shore and watching sea through the coconut tress, I felt as if I am gazing at brighter side of life through a huge window standing in dark. Every sorrows and instances which I went through in my life came gushing into my mind. It reminded me of how I used to sit near my windows looking outside expecting the dark clouds to move away and lit my life with a new sunrise.
Gazing afar I stand here alone
Exploring shades of dawn and dusk
With the little waves talking to me
and clouds watching from above
Scattered clouds,rumbling waves
Breaking the silence of nature
Washing away the sins of mind
To the brighter start of a new day
Hey friends
Here is my submission for this week’s photo challenge!
You might be wondering what a bunch of flowers have to do with this week’s theme ‘experimental’. Let me explain.
I bought my new Iphone 7 plus last May. The only reason I chose 7 plus over others is because of its added camera option of dual lens. The portait mode in this phone gained lot of popularity within few days of its launch.
When I got my phone I was so excited to try the portrait option and was searching for something to click. I was at home and I saw this beautiful bright bunch of flowers standing there. I felt it was talking to me. It was asking me “don’t you feel that I am good enough for your experiment”!
I went near the flowers and adjusted the camera to get the depth effect and then the perfect capture and thus a beautiful portrait image was saved into my gallery.
When the heart bleeds for thy love
to wipe away the tears of loneliness
Searching for the long lost love
Reminding of the days cherished
Memories are the only remains
Feelings are washed away by ocean
Leaving a deep scar in the heart
Swimming in the depth of darkness
Searching for the glimpse of light
Hope is fading away with time
Still I am living holding myself tight…
Weekly photo challenge – experimental
Hey friends,
Here is my entry towards the Weekly Photo Challenge – Rounded
As always I am here with a capture from nature. If you look around you carefully, you can see numerous God created curves and rounds like perfectly shaped trees, curved mountains, the cluster of clouds in the sky and much more.
Though I had many captures of curved roads and other manmade structures, I made my mind to present this before you as I won’t be satisfied from within if I take one of those.
Standing on the hilltop where I grew
Looking down at the life below
The world beneath is full of colours
Smudged into numerous shapes
All I could see is hasty movements
Running straight without deviations
Sailing in vigor in the stream of time
Still the shore is just an imagination
You may say I am looking at the life
Sadly I say I couldn’t see any life…
I believe it is lucky to have people in your life who love you unconditionally, not expecting any favours in return, not calculating the amount of care you get back, not worried whether the other person love you the same way. In this world, where even parent’s love for their children is conditional it’s difficult to expect anyone else will do that.
When I scroll through the news headlines about mass killings, terrorism, religious riots, I wonder where humanity vanished. Is there still kindness, compassion and love in this world?
Looking at these monkeys I realised love and affection has not died totally. You can still feel it around you. Why dont humans learn from these animals. Are they portraying an example in front of us? To live a better life? To keep aside your negative human traits of jealousy, ego, anger, frustration and be happy?
I have been watching what they are doing for a while. Both of them have their babies clinging on to them. They were picking lice from each other, pampering and patting the other one’s baby. They were sitting there showering love on each other. This was an interesting sight which was actually an eye-opener too for me. They are just two she-monkeys. Still the care they show, how they pamper the other one’s baby is something we should learn from them.
When days are dark and cruel
Shadows dancing around us
Threatening to take our life
We hold on to each other
Our love brings rays of light
To brighten the darkest tunnel
Shove away evils around us
Unveiling the beauty of heart…

A house is an embodiment of lot of things. It is not just a shelter. It is the love amongst people who live in there, It is the result of our hardwork, It is the place we always want to be at the end of the day, whether we are out on our job or on vacation.
Is it just us humans who work hard to make home? I always used to wonder when I see the construction process of buildings; about the effort the workers, starting from drawing the plan till the final enhancements and furnishings. Did you ever thought friends how the animals and birds around us built their houses?
When we look around, we see pretty little nests of birds made from twigs to the small pits of ants, crabs and so on. How many of you appreciate the effort put by them? See this leaf house made by ants. The perfect symmetrical folding, the conical design and overall the elegance is worth appreciating. Hats off to those cute little souls and their excellent craftsmanship! I couldn’t stop myself from sharing this with you all. Have a nice day friends😊
Welcome to my beautiful home
Tailored with lot of hardwork
It keeps us safe under its roof
When Rain and wind compete
Isn’t ours a pretty little house
Incomparable to yours though
Its all we have to protect us
When all seasons play its part…
