Morning peeped inthrough my windowand offereda cup of hazy sunshine,admixed with li’l dropletsof dense grainy mist,and a sweet aromaof crispy dewy leaves.Trying to give ita warm hug,I spread my arms wide.But alas!I was greetedby hot and pitiless sunrays.And I was yet again deceivedby the notoriously romanticwee hours.~©Jashaswini_Mishra

The Ultimate Truth
I close my eyesand break all ties,no time for goodbyes,just ‘hows’ and ‘whys’.From the world of liesand of painful cries,to the land of the wiseyeah I arise.With suffocating sighsof relief and surprise,I stain the skieswith paints and dyes.I miss cream piesand the spicy fries.Well time flies,that’s what I despise.For the lows and highsof my life,Continue reading “The Ultimate Truth”
The Blood Moon
Round as a pearland red as fire,up came the moonwith its spooky attire.It was the same old one,nothing had changed,perhaps soaked in blood,felt so estranged.The stillness of the nightseemed faintly evil,and the howling of the beastssounded like the devil.Was the moon bleeding,or was it just a trance?Scarred for its life,nowhere to advance.~©Jashaswini_Mishra
She walks with grace
She walks with gracelike a swan’s pace,forever in her place,feels like a maze.This ain’t no race,no one to chase,none to replace,just shadows to embrace.To herself she says,’Just another phase,soon gonna erase.But what if it stays?’With a timid heart, she praysand yet, she walks with grace.~©Jashaswini_Mishra
I dreamt of Him
I saw Him in the crack of dawn,standing on the lofty mountain.He spread His arms wide, as thoughHe could embrace my grieving soul.I knew not if He was real,I must have been hallucinating.Dressed in purple robe, He called’Come to Me, My dearest pal,For I am the Lord, your God,Let Me take you to My eternalContinue reading “I dreamt of Him”

A trip down the memory lane…..
I’ve just come across a piece of my poetry from those I had penned in my schooling career, during the 6th Grade. It has brought back a lot of memories to recollect. Does your past also revive some good thoughts sometimes?P.S. Me being a kid at that time, there might be some typographical errors. KindlyContinue reading “A trip down the memory lane…..”
Sonnet : The First Rain
Rain drops drizzlingfrom the wide blue yonder,with a faint breeze whistling,Oh what a wonder!The air is so freshwith the pleasant, musty petrichor,soothes the soul and flesh,causes new hopes to flicker.Sitting by the window sillI look beyond the skyline,I see the clouds with extra frill,and those with a silver line.May the clouds continue to shower.Let theContinue reading “Sonnet : The First Rain”
Musings of a random insomniac
Wandering in the dark nightthrough the backyard,Staring at the gray Siberian skyand hoping to spot a shooting star,he remained awakefor he was hauntedby his own ghosts,ghosts from his past,those unsettling imagesflashing before his eyes.They felt real lucid.Well, he had once believedthose could not long be concealed.They were to show,sooner or later.Nonetheless he retreated to bedwithContinue reading “Musings of a random insomniac”
Reality check
I closed my eyesTrying hard to sleep.Perhaps I could catch a dreamand travel to faraway lands.I could soar above the mountainsor shine infinitely like the cosmic stars.I could be a princesslonging for my beloved,or stare endlesslyat the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean.I could achieve anythingbut only if I were dreaming.’Cause it was the momentIContinue reading “Reality check”
Not my cup of tea
I know notthe dormant painburied deep withinthe baffled brain.Bewildered as it isin the nucleus,yet coated with ecstasyIsn’t that hilarious?Well I don’t recognisethis double-faced mind.Is it just me, oris it something darkly intertwined?To me it appearssimple just the way ice melts.What if it were a shadow,a silhouette or something else?Perhaps it’s just the lassitudewhich makes itContinue reading “Not my cup of tea”
She
She is fierce,she is powerful,the language she speaksseems so colorful.She is passionateto spread light and lovewith a mind of wonderand a heart of fondness.She is an idoldesigned to be admired.She is truly determinedand just unstoppable.She depicts the meaning of inspirationas she meets challenges with creativity.She possesses a warrior’s strength,which has already becomethe source of encouragement.AppreciateContinue reading “She”
Love and Lightning
Just the way lightning strikes,so does love,with a moment of ethereal touchto boundless solitude.~©Jashaswini_Mishra
