~::~ Broken Dreams ~::~

Staggering through, dark silent nights

Persisting ‘til fate reunites

Trundling low with my broken dreams

My heart echoes my muted screams

Biding time awaiting amorous rendezvous

Many decades I’ve transpired whilst staggering through

 

I’ve walked alone, through pale moonlights

Enduring fate’s unrighteous smites

Existence bursting at its seams

I trudge along till hope redeems

In wilds I loiter until Destiny atones

Through these pallid gossamer paths, I’ve walked alone

This time it took me 3 days to complete this poem 😥

But I’m glad that i completed it.. I started off with an abstract genre and somewhere down the line a story just creeped in! 🙄

~::~ Midnight Wanderer ~::~

Night subdued

Moonlight’s cue

The silence expelled

Like an Angel’s Spell

He lost track of time

In her voice sublime

Like the science of chemistry

He fell in love helplessly

But fate’s act of smite

On this saintly night

His destiny withheld

Until wrestling heart bled

All love lost

And loneliness accosts

With overflowing memories

Yet heart’s empty!

Like a crack in the mirror

Life changed forever

Like sinking pebbles in lake

Near existence filled his wake

And now like the breeze

He wanders among trees!

~::~ Rhymed In Love ~::~

~::~ Rhymed In Love ~::~

I looked for you in crowded faces

I looked high and low in myriad places

Wondering where I could find you

And wash away my earthly blues

 

I sit here waiting for the One to love

Awaiting an interlude by heavens above

Anticipating the advent of a soul mate

At the touch of whom my heart’s at pace

 

Oh love! I search, I search for thee

A love that makes me more me

The love that inspired me to rhyme

A love that would last for a lifetime

 

A verse in rhyme I write for you

A verse I dream in love-laced hues

A verse so real, of love surreal

A verse, with my feelings concealed

 

I pine for you and words just flow

I sit writing poems, my face aglow

I write a poem, love poems for thee

Where art thou, come set my heart free!

Written for Dverse Poet Prompt  – to write on what prompted/inspired you to take to poetry.

For me it was Love and the search for the one true love! 🙂 The dreams of which and lack of which inspired me to write many a blissful/mushy/sad poems of love. I hope I have justified the prompt as well as my inspiration – Love!!

~::~ Monochrome Skies ~::~

 

~::~ Monochrome Skies ~::~

Faintly appeared mellow mars

Glowing amidst twinkling stars

Ginormous moon rising afar

Glimmering like a nightly czar

I sat there ‘neath monochrome sky

Overlooking centuries pass by

Awaiting a desire to be fulfilled

Feeble hope continues instilled

As glorious waxing moon builds

Blurry future that I have willed

Burst out in spasms of cry

Whilst the universe laughs wry

Yet again, dusk passes spry

Desires left unfulfilled & dry

My fate that has been led awry

Deprived of any reply

I sat there ‘neath monochrome sky

Overlooking centuries pass by

 

~::~ Unethical Appeal ~::~

~::~ Unethical Appeal ~::~

Walking down untrodden lanes

Breaking free from worldly chains

Wandering by deep-dark woods              

Deciduous- casting shadowy hoods

Butterflies flutter, buds bloom

Darkness befalls, mind’s a’gloom

Wondering when- veil shall lift

I schlep along the stream adrift

Pondering thoughts clouds vision

Searching for colorful horizons

A neverland, mystical yet real

Beautiful & pure, unethical appeal

~::~ Lost September Love ~::~

~::~ Lost September Love ~::~

Twilight hour rung athwart the earth

Darkness spread, sunlight in dearth

She crept up along the wilderness

Stealthily, adorned in her black dress

Awaiting his arrival yet another night

Quickened paces, emotions tight

Sauntered pass the bereft trees

Sensing beyond what the eye sees

Beads on her brow, this warm September

A year back right here, would he remember?

Their mellow love inscribed across valley

Scented flowers, dewy grass- their ally

Ah! That sweet september love

When sparks flew o’er heathery alcove

Moments etched pure in her every pore

He left as she yearned for more

Alas! The night lost forever

Left unto faith to tether

Hours of tonight, passed in eerie silence

Nocturnal friends awaited, anxiety intense

In the wake of the moon shining bright

Sitting by the rock, she wept in quiet

Another night ends, another defeat

Amplified wait for next meet

Crestfallen she trudged, forlorn

As arose Sun, embarking new dawn

A wait so long, lasting eternity

Until togetherness sets her free

~::~ Hopes Affray ~::~

~::~ Hopes Affray ~::~ 

Fog unfurls, diurnal draws close

My soul awakens, dawn of night

Feeble stars arise at twilight

 

Many years, I have lain to doze

Awaiting influx yet today

Advents deceive, to my dismay

 

Standing there with a blood red rose

Patience ruffle and surrender

Hopes affray, emotions tender

 

Destiny belies, as life slows

Worthlessness slyly raises head

I recline, again on death-bed

~::~ Dreamy Spell ~::~

Lassitude begins to creep

All senses overridden by sleep

I enter my realm of multi-hued dreams

His presence surrounds like rainbow beams..

Lost in embrace of his strong arms

Strokes of caresses, thundering heart calms

Plunged in trance of musky perfume

Sensations flutter away, like feathery plume..

Long slender fingers, contouring my face

Silken touches, setting heartbeats at race

Velvety lips, arousing passionate furor

Honeyed touches leave me shivering to core..

Sudden disappearance, at once spell breaks

Every pore of mine, twinges and aches

In throes of pain, my lonely heart beats

Shadows of reality, his illusion cheats..

In his presence, my very soul lies

Every move made, leaves me mesmerized

These fervent moments at night that I yearn

For a love so divine, I singe and burn..

~::~ Dont Weep My Lady ~::~

O dear lady do not weep

Your tears are wasted in vain

Heartless souls, no feelings deep

Yet, for them you cry in pain

Your forlorn tears don’t even seep

Bleak their minds, who should be slain

They know not how to take care of thee

O dear lady, just let them be..

~::~ Love will find a way ~::~

~::~ Love will find a way ~::~

When at night I gaze at the moon

Awaiting a face that’d make me swoon

Mellow music that would make me sway

‘M waiting for love to find its way…

When in the morning I feel dew drops

‘Neath my feet o’er my blue flip flops

Shivers of fantasy washed away

‘M waiting for love to find its way…

Flowers bloom and birds, they sing

Aromatic spread of the spring

Riot of colours- ahead of me, lay

‘M waiting for love to find its way…

Days pass in flash, dusk is here

Sit there gazing, setting with it in fear

Time passes on, sands slipping by

Is Love real, or just another lie..?

Ecstasy of waves hit the shores

Water excites all my pores

Long treaded paths by the beach

Will love ever be, within my reach…?

Leaving footprints on the sand

I walk every step with my empty hand

Yearning to have them held by another

Why does love seem to be a bother…?

Years of wait seems only longer

A hope somehow lingers stronger

No! This faith I shall not slay

Love will have to find its way…

A bit longer maybe a little delay

But Love will always find its way….
