Moonwake


She is

mysterious

gleaming casting soft lit

shadows wistful calmness in the

darkness.

 

 White Orb

with scars like

us yet flaunts its beauty

sets a perfect aura for poets

beneath.

 

Waxing

from new to full

through phases inspiring

to embrace the changes within

and shine.

 

This is a poem written on moon by me. It was first published on Penmancy (a writing community).

The poem is written in a format known as Cinquaine.  In each stanzas,

•          Line one has two syllables.

•          Line two has four syllables.

•          Line three has six syllables.

•          Line four has eight syllables.

•          Line five has two syllables.

I had given the title as 'Moonwake' which means reflection of moonlight on water. I hope you enjoy reading it.

The narration is flawless. It takes you to the shops of Lahore, labyrinth lanes of Delhi, the Gurudwara, and the refugee camps at several places. The assiduous research work by the author is reflected thro...

Breakup of Friendship

Image
It’s true that when our friendship ended, it did beget heartache. The bond we shared was rare, I swear, Oh dear, It did pierce my heart when you drifted apart. How strange it is that once we were soulmates and had turned as outsiders now. Those colorful moments of understanding, laughter’s and shared secrets had faded today. It’s true that when our friendship ended, it did beget heartache. I wonder, if this happened because all your needs had been fulfilled? Or, is that you have outgrown yourself from our comradeship. Oh dear, It did pierce my heart when you drifted apart. You steal glances now, if we met by a twist of fate, Eerie silence and hostile demeanors escorts by itself. It’s true that when our friendship ended, it did beget heartache I discern, this phase is a part of life and growing up, It’s natural that people change and evolve and I am bound to move on. Oh dear, It did pierce my heart when you drifted apart. I release you from my own shackles of grudges, May you realize on...
