The Beginning.....

Today I’ll begin to travel back,

Back through the embers of time;

Time has bequeathed a lot of lessons,

Lessons that make the heart chime…..

Today I’ll begin to count my riches

Riches that fill me with bliss;

Bliss so supreme, so full of glory,

Glory that I’ll never want to miss…..

Today I’ll begin to live my thoughts,

Thoughts that flavour my senses       

Senses which form my hours and days,

Days with no pretences……

Today I’ll begin to grow my wings,

Wings will help me soar high ;

High up above the birds and clouds,

Clouds that line the blue sky….

Today I’ll begin to shine the light,

Light that lives in my soul;

Soul so vibrant, so full of love,

Love that makes me whole…..

Today I’ll begin to nourish my life,

Life that’s precious and small;

Small , yet big to achieve my dreams, 

Dreams make me live, after all !

A Hope, A Promise !!

As I had mentioned my previous post, my thoughts have come dressed up in Poetry over the past few days.

Of these, the Loop Poetry is something which I found really interesting, challenging and refreshing. I'm sure it is a delight to anyone who reads it !

As the curtains fall on the UBC today, I am posting yet another Loop Poetry.

This time, it is  A Hope, A Promise.....


The heart is filled with voices,
voices that reach me deep,
deep in my eyes is the pain,
pain on which I’d rather not weep....

Thoughts aren’t expressed or spoken,
spoken words carry no weight,
weight lies waiting in my bosom,
bosom that knows not to hate….

Eyes speak volumes of longing,
longing for a glance that’d  speak,
speak of a hand that I shall hold,
hold on to, as my knees turn weak….

Words are sometime the arrows,
arrows do create the spite,
spite that  pairs up with anguish,
anguish which erupts in a fight….

A promise is all that I can offer,
offer to nurture peace,
peace makes life so delicious,
delicious, that aches and worries cease….

Love is the balm for the soul,
soul, full with sweetness so alive,
alive in my heartbeat is a hope,
hope that love shall always thrive !!

That is UBC Post 31 :-)

And I hereby complete the Ultimate Blog Challenge :-)

A Loop Poetry - Time ....

I'm trying my hands at Loop Poetry in this post.

A loop poetry is a poetic form in which each stanza is made of four lines in such a fashion that the last word of each line begins the next line. The words form a loop this way and this makes it challenging and fun to write :-)
There is no restriction on the number of stanzas, though.

My Loop Poetry here is on Time...

I’m just an hourglass,

hourglass holding the time,

time that talks of the past,

past that is so sublime…

I’m here to tell you the value

value of the moments in life,

life you live shows your worth,

worth that is earned by your strife….

A moment well spent is a gift,

gift that your self must receive…

receive the bounty of your work,

work to effect what you conceive….

Precious is the gift of today,

today is what you call the ‘present’,

present is the truth forever,

forever, this is my message,to be sent.

UBC Post 22 for me :-)
