An Angel In My Life

An Angel that entered my life suddenly

To nourish and enrich a poet within me;

To encourage my creativity in despair

Bringing back to life my poetic flair.

She become my friend, fan and mentor

Giving me rock solid support like anchor.

She is the reason of my poetic glow;

The motivating force behind my poetic show.

Like a true friend she is always by my side;

Showing me the way as a creative guide;

Solacing whenever a poet inside me is terrified.

Without her that poor being would have surely died.

She is one such friend that I can confide

Even those things that from my parents I hide.

She saved me from “that kind of things”.

Infusing purity of thoughts working like wings.

She is the reason I’m out of my shell;

The shell of my shyness that hanged like a bell.

Now working overtime as my good luck charm.

When she is there around I feel no fear of any harm.

I never thought internet could give me so much;

A selfless friend and mentor as such.

O! The Lord of earth, heaven, blue

Why You made such Angels so rare, so few?

 ==================================

(THIS POEM IS WRITTEN FOR A VERY SPECIAL PERSON WHOM I CONSIDER TO BE MY FRIEND AND MENTOR. NO WONDER I'M A BIG FAN OF HER WRITINGS.

SHE IS "ASHI17"- A POETESS/WRITER ON A SITE CALLED "BOOKSIE". I RESPECT AND ADMIRE HER A LOT NOT ONLY FOR HER POEMS/WRITINGS BUT ALSO FOR HER KIND, CHARISMATIC AND HONORABLE PERSONALITY. SHE IS A DIGNIFIED LADY. SHE IS A LIFELINE OF MY POETIC LIFE!

THIS IS MY WAY OF THANKING YOU, MY MENTOR 'ASHI'. I DEDICATE THIS POEM TO YOU!!)

MY MOTHER (Acrostic Poem)

My first ever friend is undoubtedly you,

Your loving heart, no doubt bigger than blue.

~

Most valuable treasure on the entire earth,

Oceans’ all pearls can’t even value your worth.

The priceless treasure of love, feelings and affection;

Heart of gold inside you, full of selfless devotion.

Every time I’m blessed whenever you pray;

Repaying debt of your sacrifices is no child’s play.

The Life on Earth

The earth is yours, the earth is mine

Just realize this before we lose

The race against the time.

Water is polluted, so is the air

Humanity is eroding like soil

With the advent of deadly warfare.

The mind is corrupted,

So is the thinking,

The nature is being raped

Without any blinking.

The tender heart is frozen,

So is the heart-beat

Rich crush poor,

Under their cruel feet.

The greed for power is god,

So is the lust for money

Injustice everywhere

Under the rule of tyranny.

Life on this earth holds little value

While on the celestial bodies

We search for its clue.

Just realize before we lose

The race against the time

That the earth is yours, the earth is mine.

A Quagmire Called Love

A QUAGMIRE CALLED LOVE

A quagmire - an entrapment for sure
Once stuck in it; there is no cure
No one to help; no one to take you out
Futile would be high pitched shout.
~~~
Just one step is all you need
Once inside, you start to plead
It sucks you in, deep inside
Until you wish only death by your side.
~~~
Lucky ones - pulled outside
By the one with whom victim’s heart reside
With mud and slush stuck all over
Until welcomed, embraced by lover.
~~~
Unlucky ones - trapped there forever
Lonely soul begging for love’s life-saver
With no helping hand of love in sight
Hopelessness reign with no ray of light.
~~~
A deadly quagmire
More deadly than raging fire.
A quagmire called love
That the world adores and admire.
