/ Light as Rain/
/ Postcard to the sky - How can a rainy day though wet and dark, lighten up your day? /
Dear Sky,
Yesterday the night was dark
And I was far from home
I saw white clouds float
Until thunder roared and lightning struck
Laden with vapour, clouds poured as rain
As the clouds darkened
They turned ominous and black
Tried to drench my smile and plans made
Though they looked heavy
My heart just danced with the clouds
I felt light as rain, bright as lightening
And I flew again

And I flew again

Phoenix Feathers
The Red, Purple and Yellow feathers of the Phoenix burn but outlive nine ravens
As the Just Shall Sprout and runaways find new havens

Mondo
What is pink?
Cotton candies and cherry blossoms
Ripe strawberries and germaniums
Bed of roses and rose tinted glasses
Childhood dreams and gender stereotypes

/ Cinnamon is a rarely used condiment but if you drink cinnamon flavoured tea, you will be in sweet cinnamon heaven/
Cinnamon and cloves
Lined boxes on rows
Scents and spices
Amidts greed and vices
A pinch here and there
Bland food turns bizzare
A sweet sense of desire
With a little spoon I measure
Toast or tea, rice or wine
Add a piece of cinnamon
Spreading happiness and peace
Palets tingle with ease
Among many men stands cinnamon
Queen of spices that ruled Eden
Royal and regal she stands
Flavouring teas with an upper hand

/The Big Bang/
When a speck of darkness
Was lit by a ray of light
A billion stars burst with
A Big Bang, from black to white
Countless stars, a moon and the Sun
Earth was formed, the only one
To house a thousand lives
That breed and live, and life begins
Seasons change, from spring to fall,
Green leaves turn brown
Youth age, wrinkles form
Hair turns grey , wisdom grows
We live and breathe, age and fall
As the clock ticks and Earth revolves
Knowing not what the future holds
If goals are achieved or not
I am in awe of creation, the Milky Way
When dianousers roamed
With thunderous footfall
Now dead and decayed, as new creatures crawl
Flowers still bloom, and stars do shine
One Earth we have, the Goddess Divine
I only hope I live a transient yet meaningful life
In whatever Time I have, for Today is Mine

Myth
To the poet and the painter
The sky is a canvas
Sunlight is the acrylic
The Cloud is her muse
Nature breathes in blue
Inhales colours of orange
And paints a resplendent hue
The fiery sun then sets
Myths and legends abound
There can be no rhyme or reason
Revel in nature's wonders
Spinning Earth, Moon and Sun

#travel #writersnetwork #miraquill
//The world is not a place to be spent in one place. Travel broadens your perspective and travel when you are young and able, because live is short and there is so much to see -The sand, surf and deep blue sea ��//
/Travel/
Travel is a great leveller
Bright skies,night air
Shining stars and the moon
Never belonged to anyone
The last I travelled
On Camel back
With a shooting star
And the Orion
Amidst revelling travellers
Following a plan
Became a nomad
With happy, dancing feet
Undulating dunes,
Distant mountain and desert sand
Night air, comfort far away
In forgotten lands
Horizon faraway
Like distant dreams
The call of wild
A transient journey
Through the sands of time
Where the watch never winds
Clothes twirl, winds swirl, sands hurl
And the heart rhymes
When you put on your
Travelling shoes
You heart leaps
Even if your soul sleeps

#nostalgic #writersnetwork #miraquill
//Sea and Me//
Wind in my hair
Sand at my feet
Burgeoning waves besides me
The once blazing Sun
Hides behind playful clouds
Silver lining on sunlit shores
Stretching white sands
The sea of allure
Tides rise and fall, heart beats of the Sea
Salty air mesmerises the breeze
Laden with smell of fish,
Appetising corn and fried peas
A red kite flies high
Struggling with its might
Never fraying, on a hand held tight
Garlands of sea shells on my neck
Crabs dancing at my feet
Complete me and the Sea

Spend your money on the things money can buy. Spend your time on the things money can’t buy
- HARUKI MURAKAM
// Money - Counting dollars, Counting stars//
The old golden coin that conned Midas
A symbol of capitalism which dictates the new world order
They say it can never buy you happiness
But have you said this to the poor who can't make ends meet?
The Indians had Goddess Lakshmi, the Celts Toutatis
Bestowing prosperity and financial success
Even Goddess Aje blesses wealth only on the good
In making a difference, in leading the life you want
The rich get richer and poor poorer
Only If you don't treat it with courtesy
And give it your due by investing
Spend all you can but save for a rainy day
Take a healthy risk and enjoy new learnings
That money can buy - new education, travel, a new home, a health plan
Realise your worth and build a portfolio
A shield during misfortune that nurtures your spirit
Keeping your near and dear secure
Health, Wealth and Happines is not a mirage
If you are sane and have courage
Start counting dollars when you count stars

Foxgloves: a kind of pinkish purple flower that symbolises pride and instinctA p r i c o t
Shades flame
Up the sky
P u r p l e
Drapes the
Body of foxgloves
G r e y
Looks tender
Before those goodbyes
T e a l
Shines brightest
On ocean waves
B r o w n
Unfurls its
Melody in soil
Y e l l o w
Lies supine
On pastoral lands
P e r h a p s
Colors hold
Answers for eyes
P e r h a p s
Colors are
A gasping poem
Between
The lines
Of sublime feelings.

O sky!
You've hosted the wonders
of my infancy
You've witnessed the charms,
my youth fancies
You've been a host to serve me
endless hopes,
With the tiny stars sprinkled on
your gigantic magnitude
You've been a guest to bring me
when I grope,
A bouquet of sun-kissed sparkles
to enlighten my attitude
All my life, you've sheltered my fears
and made me brave
You'll owe me and mine, for you'll
envelop too my grave

Rain, ploughing and sunlight
Farmer wants for crop to ripe
Dawn, day and sun's sight
Failure wants for gloom to wipe
NOT EVERYTIME, BEING BRIGHT IS RIGHT
We ought to break the stereotype
Though mostly light enlightens too
Yet sometimes it also snatches
For instance beauty that is true
Like of stars that darkness catches
Rising sun brings one hope
That who has, has everything
But setting sun gives you rope
To climb and grab what dreams bring
Don't lose heart with wining night
Fancy charms to draw luck arc
Heard melodies you earned in light
Now let unheard one itself spark

#titular_line is indebted to #Eric_Blair (pen named as George Orwell) 's fiction work #Anima_FarmALL ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
6500 above languages,
Around 200 countries,
More than 6 skin tones,
7 billion plus tongues; men,
United by the verse,
in this universe
Speak with variable syntax
But a constant semantic
Where single sun, one moon
and millions of stars,
Shine with the light of equality
To make us feel we are equal too,
With hardwares same, softwares differ
Share same passions, with intensity other
All those who love are equal,
But
||Some are more equal than others, and few are unequal. ||

Read MoreI have written this as a tribute to all those little girls, who were taken away, even before they stepped into this world. Female foeticide is one of the cruelest crime humans can inflict upon themselves! Only a soul-less demon can do It! It tears me to pieces, even just thinking about it!
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Every night, I go to bed,
Wishing to slip into oblivion,
Even if it is just for few tranquil moments
I want to get lost in silence,
My only salvation!
But the silent screams erupt in my head
Screams of desolation and defenceless voices
Shrieking whispers of villainous vices
Their fingerless hands reach out
As they choke my emotions
And their headless bodies dance around
Full of bloody scarlet passion!
Their screeching hoots pierce my ears
Followed by deafening silence
That falls on the ear drums
Gushing bloodless bleeds of pestilence
Causing me to moan with fear and torment
The painless suffering of inaction
Makes my still heart tremble
Wounding every moment!
They dance holding their hideous hands
Make fingerless pointing gestures
They question my quietness,
My derelict attempts at cloak- less vesture
In hiding my innermost desperation
I fail them all miserably
Pushing them into ever growing damnation!
They are the tiny souls
Lost in the darkest brightness
Not allowed to be,
And not allowed to leave
Their breaths ceased before growing lungs
Held in contempt, on the lowest rung!
The female children, living dead lives
Killed in their mothers' wombs!
#wod #oxymoron #miraquill #writersnetwork
Thank you @writersnetwork for the repost!
OMG!! Thank you so much @miraquill ... My first POD!!!Silent screams
Their silent screams tear at my heart!
The tiny eyes peeping
Through lidless lashes
They tug at te edges of my frayed mind!
As I see crimson flashes!

Postcard to Sky
Sky you shine down on me
With majestic beauty you brighten my soul
Flowers bloom with your tender touch
With grateful hearts embrace the early rain
Trees bow together in joyful songs with wavy movement
Watching leaves float in breeze of your windy gaze
Like umbrella eyelashes twinkling stars
After the latter due drops
Like the fresh scented breath
Your generosity blows my mind
Your hugs and kisses sought to heal
So sky I appreciated all
your kindness you render to me
Without I would self destruct
To say thank you for shining your blessings on me
This postcard I write to you
, Your best friend Earth

Hey You,
You are a perfect blend of all there is.
Twinkle twinkle little stars was never about the stars to me.
What I wondered was not what the stars were, but of their endless deep blue home.
The roof that held so many stars every night. That sheltered the waning moon and fed the waxing moon.
The mattress that held the scathing sun, let afloat the beautiful clouds.
You taught me that the darkest of clouds shall pass, and the brightest of moons shall fade. You taught me no thing, nothing, could hide the true radiance that righteously belonged to the sun.
Your changing hues, they taught that change was inevitably constant; and that change, was beauty.
You showed me that the prettiest rainbow follows the loudest thunders.
As the crackers lit you up, burning you, you taught me to endure was rewarding.
You taught me it was okay to be a mere backdrop to support a million shining stars. For be it sunsets, starry nights, heaven knows it's all your doing.
With countless thanks in my heart, I fold this post into a rocket, and shoot it up with all my might.
Hoping someday it reaches you, and you shall lovingly make place for it.. somewhere among your endless treasures!Hues

Dear sky teach me how to have a vast heart like you which encompasses all, be it big and small and takes every one under it no matter what •

far from this dark heart
i heard you humming in silence
along with stars ,
moon nd sun stiched in your coat
together forming hundreds of tunes
in this gigantic chaos

To
the azure sky that never abandons me,
They asked me to use a limited space
as though my succinct style would do
justice to your illustrated beauty.
But every day, without fail,
I tilt my head, lift a gentle frame
and scoop out your cotton pieces
to save it in my ombre gallery.
I know you look back at me
when my eyes celebrate you.
From
a girl who dreams of garnishing the
blue yonder with her words but fails.
