About myself… WHAT POETRY MEANS TO ME Choked thoughts, emotions, feelings Burst like spring through hard crust , Quenching the thirst of timeless drought, Sprinkling showers of pure ecstasy , Cool serenades descending from heavens above, Nurturing the raging fires into volcanoes , Thawing the lone frozen tear, Streamlets pouring into rivers , Engulfing the oceans of pain, Sorrows accumulated over years, Lonely joy's endless wait for a lone partner, Stretched arms of longing waves, Eyeing the unreachable love, Expressions shaping dreams, Dreams enveloping desires, Passions rising high, Mirages turning into reality, Souls breaking free the Self imposed shackles Taking flight into Higher and unseen realms, Poetry my love, I find myself lost, Ventured into the vast vistas Of your oceans skies, mountains, Found no words How do I describe ... What my life means to me...????? ~Sonali S C~ GELLING TWO LIVES Hearts yearned for love, Found and were lost, In its amazing vastness, From dawn to dusk, Time just flies, In its wondrous lap, Bringing closer, The aching hearts, Finding solace in love's arms, Conversations steering, From love to life, Confiding with trust, Baring all facets, Of our embittered lives, Hearts and souls entwine, I ache at your pains, You weep at mine, Hearts, souls and mind, Pure bliss they find, Their bonding so sublime, Your joys and smile, My coveted prize, Gelling two lives. ~Sonali.S.C~ 28th Feb 2003 |

Flower of Romance..... Oh! why do you wilt so soon, Like showers of summer rain, Gone long before your cool droplets, Satiate thirst of dried parched, dead land, Oh! why are you so delicately short lived, Why do you always get mercilessly, Throttled by your very creator, Nurturer whose loving caresses, Water you into youthfulness, Making you seep into lives, Intoxicating whiff of vibrant wines, Igniting passions, glorifying existence, Beautifying all encompassing frivolity, Every dawn enthuse smiling sunshine, Dusky moonlight shining star like, Whispering sweet nothings, Into melting embodiments, Never veering from the lone Path of love's rudiments, Love melts into worship, Two lives merge beautifully, Molding into one bonded whole, Suddenly and ruthlessly, Harsh and sodden realities of life, Mercilessly pluck each delicate petal, Rendering it colourless, breathless, lifeless, Leaving behind gasping love, At the mercy of the, Pesky practicalities of life. ~Sonali.S.C~ 9th October 2003 Mother, mummy, mom, maa, A word loaded with love, Nostalgic memories, Oozing with care, Brimming with comforting ease, Sponging tears of sorrow, Instilling fortified strength, Letting me stumble, fall Enthusing fighting spirit, To stand up again , Emerging stronger, Cut and chiseled to perfection, At her delicately caring hands, A petite frame, housing A rocky conviction, Warmth of her womb through, Un severed umbilical cord, Instilling life energy, Making this world, A lovable abode, Shadows aglow with her, Care's sunshine, Cool oasis of life's parched deserts, spreading love, joy, good cheer, Mother gliding through life, You softly stepped across, Physically away to worlds unknown, Your presence is felt each moment, Virgin golden sunrays, Cool moonlit nights, Your laughter riddled eyes, Peeking from every ray, Soothing life's turmoils, Wiping away anguish and aches, Mother words fail me, How do I express my gratitude, You so graciously, Left the cord un severed....... ~Sonali S.C~ Come Let's Nurture Joyous Moments Come let's nurture joyous moments, Stretch them till eternity, Harp on the faintest smiles, Laugh on the palest humour, Let's trap the faintest rays Of good cheer and sunshine, Silvery rays of waning moon, Receding waves of low tides, Let's rejoice at smallest events, Small trophies of life's successes, Soft strains of the cuckoo's songs, Sweet smell of the summer rainfalls, Let's hold on to pain and strife, As sand held in our strong hands, Slipping away in small trickles, Blowing off with lightest winds, Life the sweetest nectar of Gods, Mortally precious no replay rewind, No second chance to relive the past, Oh! come let us dance and unwind......... ~Sonali.S.C~ 6th Feb 2003 Yes I cared and I spied, Your roses to weed out their thorns, The mistletoes to wipe out betrayal bonds, The paths you tread to remove its slivers, The hardships of life to end its shivers... Yes I cared and I spied, Your eyes to drink in those shimmering unshed tears, Your tenderly loving heart to sponge away its fears, Your wounded soul to embalm my love on uncouth scars, Your overawed agitated mind soothing its unkempt wrath... Yes I cared and I spied, Your dawns and dusks to instill life's incandescence, Your psyche freeing it of this life's abhorrence, My love I sinned I dared to spy the air you breathe, Endeavouring to free it of the maladies for your ease, Yes I cared and I spied....... ~Sonali S C~ (5th Oct'02) First warm ray of the winter's sun, First luscious fruit of the spring season, First lilting strains of cuckoo bird's song, First moist rain drop on parched fallow land, First heavenly rosebud on barren land, First angelic snow flake on thirsty vale, First delicious morsel in a hungry mouth, First awesome sight for the blinded eyes, First coveted medal on a soldier's shoulder, First lovely new born of a childless couple, First loving true love of a lovelorn person, Longingly looks at the beneficiary and asks, ............Do you love me?........... ~Sonali S C~ (24th Jan'03) BOUQUET OF LIFE Sprinkling of delicate fragrant petals, Abundance of prickly thorns, A heady mix this life, Clouds engulf vast blue skies, Darkness shadows the earth below, Eyes peer for lone cool drop, Trickle down the dry face of earth, Tempests rise within frozen hearts, Storming through the divine seas of eyes, While earth thirsts for cool droplets, Divinity somewhere smiles with pride. Life just lulls on swing like, Moments of joys overlapping sorrow, Laughter snuffing out sobs, Tears washing away mirth, Life keeps meandering river like, Falling ferociously the high cliffs, Raging down breathtaking valleys, Dancing slowly silent plateaus, Accepting its varied manifestations, Enjoying fragrance and pricks alike, Bouquet of life be caressed and loved, For "If winter comes can spring be far behind"????? |

The canvas of life So blank so colourless, Echoes of aching life , So vivid so ruthless, Soaring swings of childhood, Reaching for the stars, The songs of innocence, So endearingly careless, Colourful wild youth, So happy so fearless, The mirth dripping goblets, So intoxicatingly dauntless, Old age so slow so serene, Reminiscing childhood and youth, Accepting remorseless killer, Without fight or scream, White shroud's spotless, Encompassing smile, Encrusting lovingly the stillness, That once was life. ~Sonali.S.C~ 16th Dec 2002 SHE WONDERS Perched delicately on the edge of the cliff, Lone ray golden in countenance, Struggles to penetrate her frozen heart, Golden strands enmesh shrouding her loveliness, Fall seductively over her slender bare back, Blossom- bathed softness of her beauty, Sensuously blends her intoxicating fragrance, With the soft essence emitting rose petals, Her supple skin glowing ember- like, Melting snows of these untouched hills: Her mere presence ignites and engulfs the chill, Passions surge within her bosom, Waiting, bedecked- bejeweled by the loveliness, Of her virgin awe inspiring beauty, Deep blue moist eyes peering hopefully, Through the haze and maze of timelessness, Looking for her love with unblinking eyes, Reminiscing his promise made long painful years back, He would return from his sojourn in alien lands, With the first golden ray of the spring season, Her anguish ridden anxious eyes, Wait for her wait to get over, How long will she take, to take the plunge, Would it be into the warmth of his aching arms, Or into the frost bitten chilly icy arms, Of the dark and foggy all encompassing valley below, Perched delicately on the edge of the cliff, She wonders....... 18th Sept 2003 HAPPINESS Happiness….. A whiff of rose fragrant cool breeze, Caressing tender hearts, Ever so softly, sensuously, Lulling into sedative slumber , So ecstatic, exciting, intoxicating, Lungs swell to inhale and fill the self With this luxuriating experience, A fist full of cool sand, Tingling each pore into sweet sedation, Its coolness awakening , Henceforth static dormant passions, Cajoling hearts into, Frenzied dances of ecstasy, The fist tightens its hold. A ray of warm sunshine, Thawing sedately the piercing icy winds, Nudging lovingly at swollen half opened lids, Heavy with unshed tears, The warmth pleadingly dries Each accumulated anguished droplet, Eyes widen to enshroud the lone ray's warmth, A whiff of fragrant breeze, A fist full of cool sand, A ray of golden sunshine, My raving mind's flights of fantasy Yielded numerous definitions, Happiness you elude them all, You can just befittingly be called……. An unfaithful lover's fleeting love. ~Sonali S C~ 1st Nov'2003 MY FRIEND MY VALENTINE The timeless wait Of centuries, Eventually ceased, Descending peace, Tenderly eased, The tugging, And searing of, My forlorn heart's pains, Drenching my soul, Heart and body, In your love's cool rains, Bird like my life, Suddenly desires to soar, Higher vistas of happiness galore, Hand in hand guide me on, Let me not falter, Slip or fall, Let's swim , Through the oceans Of helplessness, Run wildly, Through the sand dunes, Of hate, deceit, betrayal, Fly peacefully, Through the clouds, Of unhappiness, And reach the pinnacle Of rapturous joy, Of togetherness. My friend my valentine, With your caressing ways, My painful life you appease. ~Sonali S C~ |
