Illusional Calm

Published on March 24, 2018 by balroop singh52 Comments

I sit in the wilderness
Watching each shade shrouding me
With your periwinkled love
I absorb your storms with serenity
The deluge within me is immeasurable

Welcome to my abode
A cauldron of fire and ash
Flaunting flames of tranquil passion
Tread carefully or you may be charred
By timeless tales of disdain

You would also find emotions here
Floating in the sea of solitude
They may break out of embankments
But the fall would be cushioned
By the spectrum of perceptions.

Whispering Peace and Tranquility

Published on January 19, 2018January 19, 2018 by balroop singh64 Comments

Light, clouds and snow

Far away in the clouds
That lit up with your memories
A fairy smiles at me
Is that you?

Far away in the sky
A streak of light oscillates,
Each time I think of you
Is that your amorphous abode?

It’s been ages but
Your chilly embrace still warms me
Your gentle kisses reassure
You haven’t changed.

Decked in white robes
Drifting down softly
Shimmering at the thoughts
Of our reclusive rendezvous

While I lie frozen in time
Your footsteps fall on my heart
Ensconced in each other we breathe
Whispering peace and tranquility.

Love And Christmas Cheer

Published on December 23, 2017 by balroop singh46 Comments

Christmas Cheer for all

If you are warm and loved this winter
If you can watch the gray sky
From your French windows
Or see the snow falling softly

If you can shut that cold out
Yet watch and enjoy it
With that fireplace glowing
And spreading radiant joy

If you have a loved one to hug you
With music of your choice
Yours is the day and this world
Full of Christmas cheer!

Wishing all my readers Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2018.

Snow Within Us? #Thaw

Published on December 22, 2017 by balroop singh50 Comments

Snow within us

It may have snowed last night
But I would walk out to meet you
The pebbly path may be slippery
But I can find the footholds to reach you

My snow boots may be old
But they would carry me along
It may be warm here
But I can carry it in my sedulous song

Your heart may be cold
But I would ignite it with the fire
That burns bright within us
The flames that you always admire

The sun may be hidden
But it would shine brighter to thaw
The coldness in and out
Our love can never withdraw

Never at the threat of intruders
Who try to alienate ardent lovers
Who try to accentuate acrimony
In the name of cultural covers.

Signs – #Writephoto

Published on September 30, 2017September 30, 2017 by balroop singh52 Comments

Signs

That moment…
When signs transform into reality
When acceptance seems sole support
When togetherness comes with a caveat.

That moment…
When we miss the signs of love
Neglect, indifference, brutality
Combined with weird wangle,

Simmering opinions, deep divide
Miles away yet together
Your own life being precious
So it seems.

Trophies of a hunter,
Now we adorn the wall
Proudly we display the love
The accomplishment and triumph!
