"Some days when I am able to pick a pen and write, I know I have been blessed."~Savita

Welcome to my blog. In my quiet hours I seek to touch the depth of myself and my surroundings. My thoughts that take form of poetry are just the scratches on the surface of life as it reveals to me. Wrapped in a delicate veil of symbolism and ambiguity these verses and expressions also fulfill my desire to share a bit of my self with others. I hope reading them would be as enjoyable for you as writing them has been for me.

Morning Inspiration And a Vague Dream Il


Defining A Dream

Fascinating is the world of dreams
Experienced by most of us.
Some dreams are quickly forgotten,
Yet some are retained long in memory 
With their hard to ignore impressions.

We try to find some way to know more,
To analyze the phenomena, to find some comfort
Or to guide our confused and disoriented mind.
From reading books, to consulting experts,
From talking to friends to taking solitary walks,
All options we try to put ourself at ease.

Dwelling more, varied explanations we may find
Some time putting a whole new spin on our thoughts.

I had a dream couple of days back
Instead of getting lost in subconscious
From where it arises, it left an impression.

What is most interesting is the revelation
That a sudden morning thought brought to it.
I found its explanation in my own thought process.
What are our values, our teachings,
What we value most in our life,
How we reach towards our goals,
Be it self-improvement or any other worldly gains,
A dream can be defined in any of those ways.

A long process of belief, conviction and
Circumstance influence us while we make 
Some conscious effort to build our lives.

Because a dream can reflect any of these things
In defining it all this needs to be
Taken into consideration.
If understood well it can be an asset
And a guidance of subconscious to our conscious life.

So if you are not satisfied with any traditional explanation
Don’t be disappointed or puzzled.
A new clue may light up like a light bulb
Based on your own experience.

You may find a new support, a new guidance
Closer to you own heart and desires.
A dream may help you to return to your choice,
Change it or to improve upon it, according to 
Something which you may have forgotten but value most.


  




Morning Inspiration And A Vague Dream



Stepping upon silken layers of dream, with caution 
I caressed an injured creature, soft and dark as night
In stony silence of room, a little scared and
Unsure of myself I was, with its presence.

The abstract dream left me
With a strange impression.
But a vague reality was revealed
By sudden morning inspiration.

Love and hate, hope and despair 
Anger and calmness, envy and mercy
Like children of light and darkness, forever 
Reside side by side in each human heart.

Angry, forgotten thoughts
Being eliminated in endless effort
Still lie wounded and potent 
In silhouetted corridors of heart.

Come! touch me, hold me, nurse me!
Like wounded animals so emphatic is
Their plea to bring out the child in you.

With pure innocence it invites you to 
Play and caress each one with a
Fearless trust, unaware of any harm
That could fall upon if not vigilant.

But a wrathful, wounded beast is
Still ferocious and still vengeful
Ready to strike with full passion

At any of your unguarded moments.

Hail To The Spring

Dawn! splash your colors upon my heart.
Let your aspirations engrave in my words.

Morning breeze! breath life in my despair
I am all but elated with your vibrant care.       

Winter trees! I hear your message of hope
Come spring your jovial effect will return. 

Morning bird! My valley waits for your crescendo.        
For Dawn’s rhapsody to burst in your choir. 

Spring bulbs I see your struggle to sprout 
From dark frozen womb of Mother Earth.

Listen! The Dawn awakens the grey sleepy earth
Heralds the spring to quicken its colorful bursts.

Black smoke of chimney at last disappears
Frigid cold of winter endured, so it appears.

In life’s labyrinthine ways and fervent emotions
Constant are the cycle of dawn, night and seasons.

Dawn! Splash your colors upon my heart!

I am here to greet the spring once more.

Ward off The Reckless Demands!


It is good to land a listening ear
To someone genuinely in pain 
Even more wonderful to give
A helping hand to one in need.

But to swallow the venom of 
Malicious minds poured upon
Your heart and lose your own
Peace of mind is unhealthy.

Don’t be the one standing at the 
Middle of a mudslinging game where
For each miss you get a hit, pretty
Soon covered with the mud allover.

Compassion is not a perfunctory 
And superficial curtesy. Be genuine
In your speech and actions and strong
Enough to ward off reckless demands.
