What Am I?

What Am I?

i come in many forms
i could be a he, a she, an it
unexpected time when i propose
of brilliant masterpiece
you just go for it.

i come in many forms
i could be your greatest inspiration
yet a source of desperation
when i decide to go off grid
off the hook.

a bestfriend for some
an illusion for others
one important thing though
your imagination would be empty
without me.

Brandon’s prompt guidelines

Riddle me this… I would like to you to compose a riddle or “puzzle” poem. J.R.R. Tolkien included several in his novels, as did Lewis Carroll. Emily Dickinson wrote several riddles in poetic form as well. Here is a link defining “riddle”: https://poets.org/glossary/riddle

There are no restrictions on length or rhyme. You can give the answer at the end of your poem, or to make it a little more fun, allow readers to try to guess the answer. You can also provide the answer within your poem. Have fun!

Hush – A Triple Tetractys

Hush

hush
my love
it’s scary
but we’ll get through
the end will all be worth it, so dear hush

love me dearly as the sun loves the moon
hold me tightly
don’t let go
please my
love

sleep
tightly
tonight dear
then dream of me
meet me halfway in your deep quiet sleep

It Ain’t Winning If Without You (A Book Review)

here is an in depth book review of my 7th and #1amazonbestseller poetry book “It Ain’t Winning If Without You ” by an instagram user with the handler name: @towardsliterature.

Title is pretty good, holding the beautiful meaning that without love winning no longer be a winning. Book is the compiled form of love poems and will dwell you in profound love. If u want to relish love, this book is for you. It will take you deep into the ocean of love and make difficult for you to avoid your bae.

Poetess divided the book into three parts, of which, first part is entirely devoted to love, another one is dedicated to her father and the last one is commited to us, readers. She presented few enticing poems from other poets also in culmination.

Sixty-five is one of the enchanting poems, I spot. Although every poem is captivating, but few poems have my heart such as “Crimson sky”; “Baby, can we take it slow”; “If You Were Not Made For Me, Then Why”; “I thought we lost it”; “What am I to you”; “Baby, take me home” and more in queue.

At places, poetess unveiled some poetry forms that is quite unexpected. At first, it felt irritating to me but later I realisedthat this part is awesome in its own way. Thus, I appreciate the poetess for being this informal.

“My Dearest Muse”, oh my God, what a poem it is! As far as I go into the book, I lost in its beauty. It is beautiful page by page. I found a poem spellbound but when I turn the page, I found another one more alluring. I was overwhelmed while reading.

Some words are unnecessarily used for the sake of rhyming. Hiding pain behind pretty smile is quite trending, poetess can elaborate it in distinct way. These are the only grey portions of book.

Well, I am obsessed with some lines so I am bound to write them here;

🙂 of the many things you’ve saidI kept my silence, for my words are sacre i’d love to use them to speak of kindness love and compassion but for once, just for once and may the universe forgive me if i do this.

🙂 that it isn’t winning, when you’re grieving that it isn’t smiling, when you’re hurting (Indeed, it hits me disparately).

🙂 my spirituality is as poor aas my skills in Mathematics but i know how to believe.

Happy Reading !

Complications – A Daisy Chain Poem

Complications – A Daisy Chain Poem

complications should not only be about love

love is just like a honey bee flowing gently

love is about lovely imagery and metaphors

love is all the beat and rhythm in life and living

love is just like the perfect counts of syllables in a poetry

but why, oh, why, with all these complex complications?

For Val’s Scavenger Hunt

Daisy Chain: The last word in the line becomes the first word of the next line. To end the poem, the last word is the same as the first word.

Escape

Escape

magnificent colors

an enchanting moment

of resplendent sky

of earth’s glorious escape.

the same kind of escape

i so badly need it right now

it doesn’t have to be magical

it doesn’t have to be colorful.

just an escape with you

on a Wednesday over

a long sunset drive it could be

anywhere you wanna be.

your left hand on the wheel

your right-hand holding mine

how long has it been?

i can’t tell, but i remember.

Moonwashed Weekly Challenge – Resplendent – August 2, 2022

On A Monday

On A Monday

my hand reaches out for yours
my hand longs for yours.

my mind screams of your brilliance
my mind yearns for you from a distance.

my heart desires your endearment
my heart craves for you at this moment.

my soul demands your assurance
my soul needs your love.

my hand reaches out for yours
while sadly, you’re reaching out
someone else’s hand.

and

at this moment, i hide and cry in pain
this moment, the same time
you used to say you love me

on a Monday, early dinner.

I Stood Still

Day Four

Its day 4 of Na/GloPoWriMo..today, I write a poem in the form of a poetry prompt, using the surrealist prompt-poem of poet Mathias Svalina.https://www.instagram.com/p/CYecp-wl4S8/

I Stood Still

i stood still
in the valley of death
in silence and in agony
blinded by the lights
neither by hope
nor by despair
what they don’t hear
they won’t complain
what they don’t see
they won’t fear
what they don’t feel
they won’t despair.

i stood still
in the valley of death
waiting for the morning star
to light my way
to the garden of Eden
where sinners
find refuge and forgiveness
where Christ the King
took His oath
oath upon oath
to save
to redeem
the human race

even with
“Judas’ kiss”

Features of Surrealistic Poetry:
Dream-like scenes and symbolic images.
Unexpected, illogical juxtapositions.
Bizarre assemblages of ordinary objects.
Automatism and a spirit of spontaneity.
Games and techniques to create random effects.
Personal iconography.
Visual puns.
Distorted figures and biomorphic shapes.

I am again pushing my poetic skills to the edge by combining them with the IG Lent Poetry Prompts:

Christ the King
Forgive
Refuge of sinners
Garden of Eden
Morning star
Valley of Death

Michelle says “As for me I’d rather wait for the perfect time for things to happen and unfold on their own. We can always achieve greater things if we work hard and if we never give up. So, there is nothing that I would give up to become a better writer because everything that I have and everybody around me is what makes me a better writer.”
