Alone? #Pictureprompt

Alone?

Alone? Not really.
Existing on a barren land? No!
Rivulets of your love flow within me.

A soul soaked with love knows –
Time may have robbed the smiles and colors
How will he rip off your love?

There are many more like me,
Standing tall – we have some life left
In the landscape that needs your love.

Rooted in time, transcending beyond eternity
We derive light from each other
And wait for our nimbus. 

There were happier times,
Joy bounced around us
Clouds cared to keep us moist. 

Bathing in the ecstasy of togetherness,
We waltzed in the arms of nature
Forgetting the attacks of demanding demons.

Feeding on the weaknesses of humans
They exult at the lone figures but
Ego gets knocked off, as the divine intervenes.

I #Love You Because… #PoetryPrompt

I Love You

Your love was an ocean – silent yet intense,
Calm in the midst of turbulence
Giving all you had, making no claims.
How could I not love you?

The day I merged in your cyan
You embraced me with the undulation of waves,
Letting me be what I wanted to be.
How could I not love you?

Your love was like a horizon,
That swallows the ocean
Stretching far beyond the azure skies.
How could I not love you?

Sometimes, like a gentle drizzle
Soaking me like a verdure vine
Breezing through my soul, seeking solace
How could I not love you?

The glow of your love lingers
It has mingled with my blood
No longer at the mercy of physical presence,
Moments of love caress your loss.

Lilac Love

we adore
juicy wildflowers
pure, untouched
lilac love
encompassed by green cover
sheer serenity

Thanks to Robbie for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

A Shadorma consists of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza is written as 3-5-3-3-7-5 for a total of 26 syllables with no set rhyme scheme.

#TankaTuesday #Poetry Challenge

This week, the challenge is given by an accomplished poet, Willow. She wants the poet to choose a piece of music and “write a syllabic poem about how the music either makes you feel or what it suggests to you.”

This iconic song, shot in 1960, still inspires the lovers to believe that love knows no fears. She is a commoner and loves the Prince but the king promises her freedom from imprisonment if she dances in his court. She grabs the opportunity to declare her love that is eternal, despite the consequences.

A string of dodoitsu has been inspired from this song. Thanks to Tanka Tuesday host.

A dodoitsu is a Japanese form of poetry that is sometimes performed as a folk song. It has 26 syllables: 7 in the first, second and third lines, and 5 in the last line. (7/7/7/5). No rhyming. No title.

Magical aura of love 
immerses two souls in a pool 
of divine joy that freezes time
moments dare not stir.

***

it ushers spring into life
it whispers songs of delight  
but adds embers of passion 
love is so sublime.

***

love is a cascading creek
that flows with blithe abandon
donning beams of ecstasy
carves its own pathways.

***

enigmatic yet precious
it smashes all the barriers
power of love is superb
do not challenge it.

#Poetry Challenge #Synonyms Only

like an unmoored boat, I drift
to soothe my fragmented nerves
your vows echo around me
but rogue waves threaten

*** 

I hold my head high to see 
a shadow that follows me
a wonderful illusion
that keeps me alive

***

an eternal bond that soothes
a timeless pledge that persists
despite earthly boundaries
can love be confined?

This week, Lisa is the host for Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge. The challenge is ‘Synonyms Only.’ That means we will be using synonyms for the given prompt words: promise and comfort.

I’ve highlighted the synonyms I used. I chose to write a string of dodoitsu.

A dodoitsu is a Japanese form of poetry that is sometimes performed as a folk song. It has 26 syllables: 7 in the first, second and third lines, and 5 in the last line. (7/7/7/5). No rhyming. No title.
