THE EARTH IS NOT DEAD-NOT YET

#TheEarthisNotdeadnotyet

'Quarantine' in Latin means forty days
It is a known fact that the number 40 represents 'change'
A person if desires can make a fundamental change in his life
To let go a persistent habit perhaps
Our Earth too needs a drastic makeover
It has been abused for decades
Man in his selfish ways
Eroded the core mantle
Demolishing trees in scores
Occupying lands of the wild
Nowadays with people in lock down
Our Earth is breathing
Rivers are cleaner
Vegetation greener
The air is pure
Less pollution
The Earth is healing
The Earth is at a much needed rest
Peoples hearts are transforming
Filled with love
Compassion
The earth is not dead-not yet
Nor are its people!

IF ONLY I COULD

If only I could erase all hatred in this world
Not a trace of vilification or any insults hurled
If only I could make people to love each other
Smiling, laughing, enjoying life together

The atrocities on weaker section to end
All humans are equal, the message be send
Share your wealth with the one in need
You will surely be rewarded for this deed

Teach our children the value of honesty
Never to lie, live our life with dignity
Instil in them the virtue of integrity
Compassion and the necessity of charity

If only I could stop people from fighting
It is not worth it, its harmful and hurting
If only I could destroy all weapons from the earth
The negativity to vanish only will remain mirth

Our universe will then become so beautiful
Serene, a world of love, joyful, utterly wonderful

SILENT LOVE

Silent Love

Feeling his love
When ever he is near
The warmth in his embrace
The passion in his kiss
Truly shows that he care

My face glowing
When ever I see him
His mesmerizing gaze
His smile that lit his eyes
Are truly to die for

I love him dearly
He feels the same
Our feelings
For each other
Surreal but real

It’s pure state of bliss
It’s another world
It’s a wonder
It’s our love haven
It’s our paradise

True love is silent
The unsaid words
The silence echoes
It means manifold love
In our loving hearts

LOCK DOWN TRAVEL

#NaPoWriMo at #ArtoonsInn #PoetryParlour #Day16 #Travel

LOCKDOWN TRAVEL


Travel has always been a passion
A point to go in a depression
As not been able to do so in a lockdown
Keeping the happiness quotient for it to beatdown
Travel to the kitchen is on a rampant
Had abandoned earlier, adapted being resllient
Cooking up new recipes with
agression
Using the ingredients with
compassion
Good news is the appreciative glances
Mighty confidence it enhances
Desperately miss my walking on the waves
On my feet the tingling sensation my heart craves
The sea breeze softly caressing my face
I miss the lingering breezy fragrance
Awaiting earnestly the end of our in house days
Praying for immense joys in our future ways

VICTORY

#NaPoWriMo #Day5 #ArtoonsInn #PoetryParlour #Journey

VICTORY


To reach the destination far, beyond snow capped mountains
The mountaineers vows to reach atop the highest peak

Determination is the key to go on despite hurdles, the biting cold
A journey however long, starts with a small single step

Perseverance invaribly will lead to their success
Motivation is nescessary to march ahead against all odds

Discipline paramount, a slow albiet steady pace to follow
Travellers initial curiousity turns into passion after conquering the nearest peak

The stubborn attitude ones 'never give up' are the fearless explorers
End up discovering the magical wonders of our earth

An inherent pride in achieving the impossible untouched heights as far as the moon
Smiling all through their journey of desire

Protecting their clan from dangers and the dark
Sailing smoothly on toughest of terrains

Characteristics of noble men, high in courage, highest in morals
Leaders selflessly lead the way, taking along all, leaving none

Comaraderie, unsurpassed mutual trust with tremendous respect in their hearts
Reached the top, jubiliations, victory served to the team amidst glorious celebrations!

PAPER PLANES

#NaPoWriMo #Day4 #ArtoonsInn #PoetryParlour #Paperplanes

I remember making paper planes small

In pre-teens, as early as Grade Three ball
August was the windy month great for flying kites
My paper planes taking off from our terrace merry flight
I made plenty planes of pages from my English copy empty section
Rest were made from newspapers for my assorted collection
Folding neatly step by step taught by my cousins dear
Whose visit was much awaited in summer vacations here
The favorite past time was blowing in our paper planes for flying
Checking whose plane had gone the furtherest complying
It was thrilling fun to watch our planes land in trees
Some planes turning right on a solitary spree
The best was the plane going inside our neighbours home
Uncle barging out furious looking for the culprit to come
Later we came to know of the reason for his anger plain
Love note for his daughter was written on the paper plane
You guessed it right it was my cousin brother secret love
Hidden no longer, his secret was out of the trove!
Pleasant memories gives a chuckle even today full on
Heart warming stories of childhood lives on!
