Echoing exhilarations

In the morn, I noticea vine of cucumbergrowing in my gardenas creeper and climber,of youthful naturein early September,blooming out of nowherelike a secret chamber.I really do likethe hues of December,calm and sereneyet often somber,enlivened by the birdswith soothing timbre,their voices freshenedjust before slumber.Those dusky twilightsI do remember,in shades of purpleor reddish-amber,with flickering lightslike dying embers,ofContinue reading “Echoing exhilarations”

Tears and Rain

Teardrops of the sky,beautifully round,fall all around,on the leaves, the housesand on the ground.The sky cries profusely,seems as if it is hurt,cleansing all the dirtfrom its heart,leaving itself inert.Like the sky, I cry too,with unbearable painexploding my brain,hopes and dreamsdifficult to explain.I then ask myselfif the sky is my twin.Each time I cry, it poursContinue reading “Tears and Rain”

Yay…it’s me time…..

‘How do I look?’…’What am I gonna wear?’…’What are they going to think about me?’…and so on. Have you ever questioned yourself these? You definitely must have, at some point or the other. It’s basic human instinct, the urge to be recognised as a distinct personality, and not be ashamed of yourself. You really needContinue reading “Yay…it’s me time…..”

Sounds of the Night

Hooting owls,clucking fowls,chirping crickets,rustling thickets,croaking frogs,howling dogs,pattering rain,honkings down the lane,whispering air,creaking armchair,fluttering of sheets,pulsating heartbeats,leaking tap,fresh thunderclapresonate with all their might,and don’t let me sleep at night.~©Jashaswini_Mishra Hey guys. Do share other sounds which you hear at night. Happy blogging! ❤️

The Silver Lining

I look at the silverlining of the cloud,a cumulonimbus,at times, so loud.I keep on wondering,What’s there to feel so proud?Hiding the haloed orb,covering like a shroud.The hidden sun knows whento emerge from the crowd.Till then it remains calm,enveloped and bowed.And when the sun comes outfrom the thundercloud,it shines like a gem,just the way it vowed.~©Jashaswini_Mishra

Shattered…….

Never had she hated them,or talked behind their backs,’cause their facesalways glitteredwith a so-called thick coatingof warmth, love and honesty.She had thought,they wouldn’t ever leave her,or plot against her,their innocent friend.But that’s the world,the real selfish world.The bad people out therejust use timid lambsto move further ahead,and then dump themlike used paper.Well now she realiseswhoContinue reading “Shattered…….”

Ode to my Father

For all your patience day to dayand every time a word you say,and words that turn into memories we bindhave forever left an imprint on my mind.To prepare me for the life I choose,you have always given your point of views.A life with learning, growing and falling,caring and inspiring is your calling.You have a consolingContinue reading “Ode to my Father”

Speaking silence

It has no voice,not another choice,neither has a facenor leaves a trace,yet so beautiful,so calm, so powerful,a secret connection,a quiet reflection,greeted by the one who seeks,so aptly said, silence speaks.~©Jashaswini_Mishra

Miracle’s on its way

The glowing starsin the skies afarnow call out to me,”Why don’t you be free?Rough days will be gonebefore the new dawn.It’s time for a change,everything’s prearranged.Miracle’s on its way,you’d feel right away.And then you will bethe sole master of thee.”~©Jashaswini_Mishra

Addicted to you

Your presencegives me goosebumps.Your subtle touchtakes me higher.Your lingering scentdrives me crazy.Your naughty wordsput me in a trance.Your luscious voicesteers my psyche.Your passionate kissesleave me wanting.Your comforting hugsmake me forget myself.I am addictedto you, my love,’cause you are the killerI cannot unlove.~©Jashaswini_Mishra

United we stand : A Sonnet

We became aliens in our own landwith waters and foreign sand,imprisoned by our own hands,solely on nature’s command.A virus, on the other hand,proclaims its entry so grandthat everywhere, solitude stands,a threat that was pre-planned.Although it’s hard to understand,our insight needs to expand.We just need to wave a wandand until then, walk hand in hand.Then onlyContinue reading “United we stand : A Sonnet”

Memories Lost and Found

I look at the groundso dead, not a sound,the surface truly brownedby the sun, finely round.There’s no one around,just vague thoughts surround,and memories lost and found,leave an impact, utterly profound.Musings of the past resound,that are blurrily gowned,only obscure sentiments aboundin my mind’s compound.The soil gets drownedby my tears, unbound,as if the earth is crowned,like pearlsContinue reading “Memories Lost and Found”

Tides

Tides clashing on the rocky shore,louder than a lion’s roar,agitating the ocean floor,echoing like a devil’s snore,knocking on her mind’s door,rumbling aloud, more and more.Her, trying hard to ignore,’cause they always find a porethrough her soul, that’s terribly sore.These tides that she used to adore,are nothing now like they were before.It all sounded like aContinue reading “Tides”

The Birth of a Poem

I put my pen to paper,scribbling, doodling,trying some line art,then scratching them all.Now this is wherethe magic happens,when all of a sudden,my clouded emotionscascade down the nib,gracefully flowing,just as free as a bird,with limitless boundaries.It may take any route,be it peaks or valleys,so long it’s in motion.It may be paused momentarilyby traffic of thoughts,but thenContinue reading “The Birth of a Poem”
