My Healers

 Day-11 OctPoWriMo-2020

Prompt: Muse

Form : Free Verse

                                                                              mytuberoses

A pandemic

Crossed path unannounced

And life went haywire

Not ready to accept the change

The mind played games

And finally surrendered 

To the new normal phase.

Went through bouts

Of loneliness and self loathe

Struggled to find some semblance

In the unwanted chaos

Moving through the darkness

Tried to find some hope

In people and sundry things

Alas! Nothing worked!

And then the miracle happened

The muse came knocking 

One  fine morning

With loads of blessings

A few bulbs of life in a box

Sheltered in the dark

Waiting eagerly to see the light

I took them tenderly in my hands

And placed in their home

Where they bloom 

As if they are born free

Glowing in their freedom

I live and find peace

In the little moments

Watching them standing tall

Giving me hope to stay strong

I know I will heal

Once they start flowering

And their fragrance spreads

In every corner of the house.

My mornings are blessed

In the company of my verdant muse.

Letting Go

 Day-10 OctPoWriMo-2020

Prompt : Letting Go

Prompt: Free verse

                                                                              PC. Sneha

Rejection,

That one  word

Still hurts and haunts

Many seasons have passed

But, the ache never stops 

Those dark days surface

Once in a while

Bringing the demons

Crawling out of the womb

So dark

That they penetrate

Every pore

Of the skin.

Maybe those scars

Will heal

When the body is at peace

In the softly mowed earth.

                                                                               Image: Friend

How can we balance

Balance the head and the heart 

Heart is a restless nomad

Nomad in search of happiness.

Mind oscillates

Oscillates between feelings

Feelings of present and past

Past trapped in dark shadows.

Moving on parallel  lines

Lines carved by destiny

Destiny drives the wheels

Wheels of the head and the heart.

Mysterious heart

Moving, merging

Making mountains out of molasses.

Masked in fragrant hues

Memories masquerade, and

Mingle in a mindless game.

Growing Pains

 Day-7 OctPoWriMo-2020

Prompt: Growing Pain

Form: Triolet

P.C: Sunita

Life  is a parchment of seasons

Framed in a whorl of a time machine

Memories arouse youthful passions

Life is a parchment of seasons

Many dreams wrinkle and die with age-old burdens

And pain reflects in the smokescreen

Life is a parchment of seasons

Framed in a whorl of a time machine.

Desires

 Day-6

Prompt: Desires

Form: Free Verse

                                                                              artbysunita

Infused with multiple  layers

Desires meander in rhymes. 

Life sparkles hope in a poet's pen

When the heart is seduced by every season

Days and nights align with the poet's sighs

Weaving words in rebellious whispers,

The battle cry resonates against the walls

Where is the freedom to touch the sky!

To breathe deeply and to let the soul fly!

Caged in a broken body, a poet seeks solace

Inking paeans to quench the infidel heart.

I

Am caught

In a trance

Trying too hard

To fit in the frame

A ray of  warm sunshine

A wisp of dreamy moonlight

And a few dreams dance in my heart

Memories invade the lusty pools

When the night weaves a shroud of solitude.

Time heals

Time bridges pain

Pain in ripples

Pain in thoughts

Thoughts very dark

Thoughts without feelings

Feelings of happiness

Feelings of many

Many in distress

Many struggling in chaos

Chaos created by man

Chaos in a space of madness

Madness without borders

Madness rules the world

World of hopeless souls

World bleeding to death

Death of fallen grace

Death to an unknown face

Face of pain

Face of burning hearts

Hearts in search of hope

Hearts bonding together

Together we can beat

Together we can survive

Survive this invisible enemy

Survive this crisis

Crisis makes one stronger 

Crisis are milestones 

Milestones of experiences

Milestones of belief

Belief in self

Belief in humanity

Humanity exists

Humanity brings peace

Peace is a beacon

Peace is a garden of faith

Faith in fellow beings

Faith in nature

Nature heals

Nature  caress pain

Pain is part of life

Pain teaches

Teaches to sustain

Teaches to heal

Heal together

Heal with love

Love and live

Love and feel

Feel...

Live...

My world is woven

In little pieces of joy

Many colors touch my soul

Every morning life leaps

In tiny shades of myriad hues

An easel of existence 

Splashes in the chaotic world

There is beauty in nature

A never-ending blissful journey

It envelopes a life in the sunny chime

To live, to breathe, and to exist 

With a heart full of forgiveness and hope.

Under a gloomy sky of uncertainty 

Let the light of life shine bright with hope, in the times of chaos.
