Rapture

Rapture


All is fair in one’s rapture,
drunken through the blissful veins
chortling, laughing, crying with joy,
they seek their pleasure that never destroys

Forgetting the hindrances of their past,
they swathe the felicity that forever lasts
fantasising as if they walk through the clouds,
comfort that’s unwrapped as a gift; bestowed

The rain showers and they dance alone,
although their reticent self finds ecstasy on their throne
the mist clears, chuckles pour through the sky,
but speckles of bitter sadness still hurt inside

rasa: hasya (joy/laughter)

Elysium

Elysium In dusk’s soft hush, a quiet stirs, a warmth that neither sun nor star confers he moves like twilight’s gentle call, unfolding shadows where dreams fall. I see eternity in each quiet flame, a warmth unspoken, without name, and in that gaze, so deep, so vast, I catch a glimpse of futures past. His smile, a hymn, so soft, so pure, that every sorrow fades, unsure, it blossoms wide, like fields in spring, and fills the air with whispered wings Compassion flows in gentle streams, through every word, like tender dreams; his spirit moves as rivers bend, to soothe,   to heal, and   to defend. And when he speaks, my soul takes flight, as if the world were bathed in light a moment held, yet undefined, a tethered heart, a liberated mind. If ever heaven graced this land, it lives in the warmth of his gentle hand, a touch that binds yet sets me free, a silent vow, eternally… Rasa: Shringara (Love)

A Marguerite

Poem - A Marguerite In this desolate sandcastle under, I hung, prejudice and beratement I experienced young my only solace was the flowers that bloomed dug down deep, I was there entombed With tattered clothes, she lifted her heels leaping over the fence that quivered my feels a yegg she was when she took the flowers that made me a guard day and night every hour Until it struck me that I had to help except I was grotesque and svelte but that never hindered me, blooming something unique just like the daisy frutescens , a marguerite Flower Smeraldo, there I had behind a mask, I ran a bit glad lush petals elegantly flowered and flourished till I realised the young girl had perished - Mridini Sivakumar (Poem inspired by the Italian tale, 'Flower Smeraldo') Image Credits: ArtStation  ©

Utopia

Utopia The idyllic sky, oh, the stellar night, how does your fluoresce enchant my eye Your amplest blonde orbs of dew, made me ponder my notions and think of you Whispers and bittersweet linings of your voice, surround my inner phantom and noise, The silver weaves of the conifer trees, made me reminisce over your subtle breeze Nevertheless, it’s not just you, thou stellar night, It’s also the soul of elemental art, so bright your gentle eyes, seep through my spirit strokes of the brush   paint the palest of pink, and lilac chords I don’t despise I fairly hope to loaf around your hues, or explore the gleams of the alluring skies Please let me evoke my sense of wonder and not drown in a carafe of cries Rasa: Adbuth (Wonder) - Mridini Sivakumar Image credits:  https://images.app.goo.gl/ i4mgq9qmQUSQN4sh7 Adobe Stock Copyright  ©
