Silence sleeps
shadows wait
behind sheers

soft glow peeps
dawn beckons
bestows cheer

lovely day
calm morning
promises glee

another 
city, new
adventure

old friends meet
to renew
memories

sparks renew
forgotten,
past yearnings.

Thanks to Colleen and Willow for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry and try a new form. The challenge this week is “to write a Tricube poem in as many multiples of three-line stanzas as you wish. Please pick your moment and write about your feelings. A word of advice don’t overthink the moment let your words flow.”

A tricube is a 3-line, 3-stanza poem where each line contains exactly 3 syllables.

A special thanks to Sadje for #Whatdoyousee photo prompt -336.

The Last Gift #WDYS

The Last Gift

This ordinary piece of paper
Which conceals all…
Those unheard words, whimsical wishes 
Eternal entreaties, abiding aspirations
A dazzling display of words
May seem insignificant to you.

This letter – the last attempt to persuade you,
To remind you 
Of the moments etched on our hearts,
Of the hours that walked with us,
Of the words that ignited us,
You know them so well. 

This treasure, signed with the same love
That we lost in the maelstrom of life 
Please consider it as my last gift,
A gentle flame that still flickers
Despite the death
That’s knocking at my door.

The Untold Lie #WDYS

The Untold Lie

Her fingers yearn for Mama’s hands
But she holds a cold device
It doesn’t offer any love
Her lullabies emanate from nowhere
As empty as the walls around her.

Still struggling with the new device,
her glum face divulges all.
She likes to watch the story of ships,
Stranded on the orange sea —
A sea that swallowed her dear dad.

No one told her he’ll never return
She’ll wait for eternity.
Muted by neglect and apathy
She doesn’t know a smile, 
or the warmth of an emotional anchor. 

On the tenebrous path of her life,
when she grows up with the void,
with the untold lie
Will she be emotionally numb?
Or hold a hollow heart?

Dawn Delight #WDYS

glorious morning
in harmony with nature
waits for new magic.

***

sun spreads divine gold
creates fusion of colors
illumines our life.


***

serrated peaks kiss
a demure dawn is smiling
scattering some cheer.


***

a beautiful glow
permeates through the branches
sublime dawn delight.

***

a dash of yellow
enriched by orange hues
scintillating sky.

Bridging Breaches #WDYS -330

Bridging Breaches

Buried in the debris of desires
Words emerge to mock me
Calling across the bridge of brooding
with readiness to embrace.

Reminiscent of past promises,
Of the fiery wish to meet
Where the ancient bridge bends
Where the forest lovers linger
to hear the silence.

The bridge is quiet
Just like the still trees,
Silenced by the seasonal magic.
Then it grows darker and narrower
Travelers tarry here to glean the difference
between chaos and tranquility.

The world of love and peace begins here
A gentle hand of Mother Nature knocks away
all the moments of acrimony.
