The Picturesque Poem

Hi Everyone, A few months ago, I thought of an idea for a new poetry page. I felt that I could merge pictures and poems aesthetically and that Instagram could be a great place to post them. So I tried my hand at Adobe Photoshop and created an Instagram page. I regularly post my poetry…

The Picture Diary – My Poetry Book

In December 2021, I registered for Bookleaf Publishing’s ‘Write India Challenge’. As part of the challenge I had to write 1 poem a day for 21 days, and they would publish a book out of it. I decided to take part in the challenge, but I did not want to write 21 random poems and…

Legacy

Years later, when the internet is unrecognizable,Your thoughts would still occupy a tiny crevice,A corner, you may circle back to,To look back at who you were,and trace how you've changed. By some chance, if you were to become famous,Curious people would visit to see your early work,Either to appreciate the past you,Or to look for…

Cycling

Wind flowing through your hair,As you ride a downward slope,Your surroundings turn into a blur,One half exhilaration, the other half calmness Pumping the peddles or pushing gently,A choice between speed or serenity,The effort is energizing,Liberating you from a hectic life Navigating a known trail,A blissful time with yourself,Each curve known from memory,Just enjoying each moment…

The Right Words

The right words,With that precise intensity,and the subtle emotion,That perfect set,Which flows smoothly,and materializes effortlessly,That powerful idea,which widens vision,and shakes away preconceptions,That what we yearn for,and seldom deliver,That which is most beautiful,constructed the most succinctly,capable of drawing awe,yet calming like a gentle breeze,which finally brings the message home,Forever elusive,The right words.

Laugh

Laugh, when you're story's a tragedy,Cause they make the best comedies.Laugh, when you're flaws draw attention,It's not ugly if it's funny. Laugh at you're failures,So that you may fail again.Laugh at you're foolishness,It makes you humble. Laugh, when you're on a high,That's what a high is for.Laugh, when you're clumsy,Those are genuinely funny. Laugh, when…

Shades of Happiness

Loud guffaws of thrill,Watery eyes from unpolished honesty,Laughter that stretches the cheeks, and hurts the stomach,Moments that usher bouts of happiness Shy grins of comfort,Expressive eyes that glitter with warmth,A face that glows with love, a heart that flutters,The constant dull sensation of positivity An expressionless face,Soft eyes filled with contentment,A mind that looks back…

Solace

A tranquil silence,Growing deeper as time passes by,Loneliness that brings peace,Darkness that creates comfort. The surroundings encourage self reflection,The sparse lights sparkle beautifully,Twinkles that are noticeable,Details cannot be overshadowed. A time to rest or a time to reflect,Surroundings that refresh or surroundings that lull,A newfound time to step back,If the day has left you ever…

Peace

The soft aroma of simplicity,On a Saturday afternoon,The light midday meal,With gentle warm tastes. Graceful, meandering music,Soft and soothing notes,To gently caress you into your dreams,To gradually nudge you out of sleep. A cold sensation on the tongue,of unmitigated sweetness,or tasteful bitterness,relishing the slowly melting chocolate. Floating peacefully in the pool,Drifting around contently,Coolness washing over…

A Mundane Poem

I wonder what it's like,A mundane poem,With no pearls of wisdom,And no deeper explanation A poem about the falling sun,Into the sea,Without describing the crimson hues,And metaphysical implications A poem about starry skies,Without meandering imagination,Without heartfelt extrapolations,Just some calming imagery A truly simple poem,Not a simplicity that invokes thought,or describes visuals the eye doesn't see,But…
