Silvery morning
in harmony with nature
waiting for my beau

***

Eternal bonding
created by red berries
and flowering trees

***

Are you cold or sad?
the eyes reflect your pining
winter zephyrs zap

Whispers

Borrowed light
Travelling through time
Whispers secrets that sound true.

Moments pause here, muted by
Arched attachments
Silence saunters with élan. 

Dedication dons ancient attire
Shadows settle on history —
Long forgotten ghosts.

Blinded by light and sound show,
They watch from the edges
How the arches come to life.

Each one whispers a story
Of the door that never opened,
Of the freedom that remained a dream.

Spiritual Vibes #WDYS #TankaTuesday

Spiritual Vibes

I
walked
with my muse
last night, drowsy
but awake, eager
to see where she takes me.
She took me into the land
full of ethereal beauty,
brimming with spiritual silence –
an offer to look within, to forgive.

The silence percolated within me.
A gossamer veil caressed my face
my spirit soared to touch the vibes
emitted by pagoda.
Twenty steps I climbed,
each one cleansed my heart
divine power
pulled me in.
A new
dawn.

Thanks to Sadje for the inspiration #Whatdoyousee – 326

Thanks to Colleen and Yvette for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to “focus on the idea of cleansing. You can choose to go with purification or atonement, if you’d like. Find a syllabic poetry form that works for you, and let your inspiration flow.” 

I have written a double Etheree. 

An Etheree is a type of poem which consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So it is called a double Etheree.

The Cave #Poetry #PhotoPrompt #WDYS

Published on by balroop singh46 Comments

The Cave

Light lived in the cave of hope
Carved by an unknown Artist,
This cave promised luck.

Only those who dared to dream beyond destiny
Could enter this cave.
A cave that proclaimed:
“Take what you need.”

Ha! I scoffed at the choices:
Love? I’ve always had enough.
Hope? My oldest pal.
Passion? I don’t need it now.
Courage? Well, who can doubt my grit?
Happiness? Can you keep it?
Money? I have enough.
Luck –that’s what made me stagger.

I knew it was a fake promise.
I knew luck was a deluder, a temerous traitor
Yet the allure clutched my hand.
“Take what you need,” reverberated.

The cave was long, damp and narrow
Darkness often throttled me
Thorny hands bruised my fingers
Lack of sleep created graphics,
Strange light danced before my eyes.
Holding the hand of my oldest pal,
I trudged the endless path.

Footprints that Inspire

Life is not like sand dunes that keep shifting
Each moment matters, each step is judged.

Life hangs in the pendulum of time
Echoing myriad memories that are indelible. 

Like the morning blaze
That spreads and melts into the clouds,

Like the heavenly horizon that blinks
at the rosy hues to widen and wait for more,

Like the twenty thousand rays around
the yellow disc that inspires the day.

Sand stands in testimony to the footprints
They may seem to vanish but are embedded.
