The Fallen Leaf!

The soul weeps in anguish

falls the leaf from the branch

   shockingly the flower is aghast

“ Why Thou! You descend and collapse…

Its still time before  death befalls….

 

“ tis the drop of the curse,

The curse of the loved one,

for whence I should

separate from the branch of life…

 

It withers my vibrant color

burns the freshness and vigor

lest I need to shrivel and die

When the curse of love transpires!

 

“Alas, you are the one

Who never grumbled whether ignored

 nor stumbled in a storm

walked with a word of joy,

Spreading happiness to every passer –by”.

 

Its my fault ,O! loved one!

The essence of my immaculateness

Ne’er reached the core of  thy  heart

I fail and now fall apart!

 

The “Reach” which touches or the “Touch” which reaches?

Ever thought is it the Reach to thousands of people all around the globe that touches them,or is it the Touch which they feel ,makes my verses on my blog accessible?

The long journey ,an interesting one ,it has been on WordPress,since the time I started writing here.

Poetry Book Review: Suroor of the Soul

The review of book” Suroor of the Soul” by Uzoma from 85 degrees!

85 Degrees

With the various styles and contributions to contemporary poetry, “Suroor of the Soul” makes for an uplifting and fascinating reading. It’s a meticulously sectioned book co-authored by Soumya Vilekar and Shaheen Dhanji; two wonderful poetesses whose love for nature, true happiness, metaphysical knowledge and exploration, soul discovery and its ultimate journey cumulatively amplifies a reader scopes via their poems.

Not short of fine imagery—a few of which are subtle or complex judging by their metaphysical exponent—or verse paragraphs of commendable artistic quality, both poetesses seek to approach their audience in four ways (sections). Section-I gives credence to the soul, its birth, growth and endeavor. A poem from this section that sits nicely with me and I think I’ll still remember for some time to come is The Lost Fawn. A touching narrative, it metaphorically points to man’s journey through life and his interaction with the divine. Section-II is a…

An Interview with Soumya Vilekar

My interview by Uzoma Okoroafor!

85 Degrees

A few days ago, Soumya Vilekar agreed to give an interview about “Suroor of the Soul” and here is how it went — very interesting I must say.

 

SOUMYA VILEKAR’s INTERVIEW:

In some of your poems, you acknowledged God as the most Supreme Being, the Maker of all things. Do you believe in life after death? If so, can you paint a picture of this new journey?

Soumya: First of all, Thanks to you, Uzo, for lending me a platform to express my views and have a word with all of you! Life is a beautiful journey which has different contours throughout its path and is varicolored. Each one of us have experienced its different façade  of joy, sorrow, sadness, grief, misery and the virtual happiness at some moment or other in life. What we see or acknowledge here on Earth as human form is just a part of a wonderful enchanting…

DIVINE GROWTH!

for every word that I utter

for every thought which is born,

I sit in silence and hear

the echoes of the trembling hoar!

 

flew would then the time fast

leaving me behind the world afar

would I then,remember the mighty words

heard which during the early childhood …

 

memories fade as , wiping ones

only the etched remain as none

“young buds of the garden of life

gently grow and cherish the years!”

 

molded as like a soft wet ball of clay

into shapes regular or fake,

delicate the canvas of the mind

where imprints the image for life long!

 

in thy grace ,let the sapling grow

whence a drop of divine bless the sow,

transforming the beautiful seed of faith,

into a true tree standing with love!

 

 

 

Tis my love !

 

 

thy said I dwell in the nook of the heart

for my light shatters the world apart,

hidden I lie under a  shroud

covering the luminous circle round!

 

bedazzled by the sparkle of love

many hath run away ,stayed none,

for the heart shone like radiant gold

with diamonds studded as precious stones..

some envied,some hath died,

out of rage and fury for a while

i shy away from the world in dark…

concealing the lucent debark …

 

Yet ,failingly some catch a glimpse,

touch they to have a feel

burns the hands of those who play

with the evil in their minds while sweet words say!

 

Sheepishly, I stand beside,

smiling with a gentle smile,

wary of every step near

deliberately going behind….

 

yet,awaits the heart

for the love…

which could bear the scorching sun

in cold nights to become an embrace,

kissing my forehead ,like an ardent lover…

 

A pure and a sublime soul

an invisible end ,where I oar

entwined by silken threads

of love

since aeon…

INFINITY

read I in thy eyes the deep secrets of wisdom,

from far beyond the horizon

echoed the songs of devotion…

 

in colors celestial

floating in the sky

I touched to feel the mist

of thy eternal art …

 

dissipated the hues like the glowing asters

merged and unified,

in the infinity

of the blissful illustration…

A thought:

Life is a beautiful journey like a varicolored spectrum which reflects different colors every time.  Right from the beginning when a soul takes birth till the day it leaves the world,it is a continuous process of evolution for the mind,body and the soul
We experience many such moments which fill us with joy and enthusiasm,but the fight for survival and the struggle to exist in the materialistic society as an achiever of superficial dreams  always keeps us stressed and exhausted. As a result we are drained,deadened and we lead a lifeless life fighting against the inner conflicts .

WE THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN AND SHALL BE A PART OF THIS JOURNEY!

TWIN SOULS

“And let me rest for a while

on your strong shoulders,

with my hands in yours

I wish to be in heaven…

 

for ages ,we have been apart

through times we have died

       now reborn,

ablaze the passion still inside

of the lost love especial…”

 

twin souls of the eternal fire

separated on birth

kindle and invoke Thou

to be eternally together…

 

a flower blossomed then falls

   from the tresses of the maiden

 leaving fragrance in  her hair

    it smiles in chaste….

 

“Such beauteous journey  of life

as one flame we want  to traverse,

unified and combined ,

We the part of thy creation…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Song of heart!

Shreds the veins of the heart

dripping scarlet blood

the piercing words

thy uttered

killing the soft bosom…

 

nurture I the flower of dreams,

crush you with your

crumbled speech

shies away the bud thence,

away from the world so mean…

 

Hitherto to be plucked by the withering time

the moment to perish hasn’t arrived

seasons change in despair

cries the soul in love,profound.

 

Hail ! thy wind

Halt! thy clouds

listen to the wounded core’s shout,

can you absorb the pain and

sing before the Lord!

what should the soul pray for

Peace,Tranquil,or Joy,

Happiness to cherish

or Love from her thou!!!
