Next Time I Find Love
And next time I find love
I will be cautious with my heart
Careless with my cares
Riding with my soul
With the reins given to the brain.
Next time I find love
I will say hello
And be ready
For a goodbye note.
Next time I find love
I will adjust
But not compromise
Next time I find love
I will love me first.

When great souls die... The world dies a bit.
#greatsouls #pod
@miraquill @writersnetwork @_fireflyWhen Great Souls Die
When great souls die
Souls of writers and singers,
The poet around the corner
The Earth turn a bit more brown.
When great souls die
Of scientists and experimentalists,
Thinkers and explorers
Time stops, but only few does know.
When great souls die
Of the smartest thinker & the hardest worker
In the world of commerce and trade
Dreams crash like falling stocks in the day.
When great souls die
Of they who loved us
And judged us never
A piece of us disintegrates
With their going too.
When great souls die
Like the street dweller
who broke bread with the stray
Kindness crumbles in the corner
Like his last slept torn rags lying astray.
When great souls die
Hope loses her way
Lingers in the dark corridors
Waiting for a great soul
To be born again.

Been too busy with handling life for sometime... Back doing some week old @miraquill challenges #anaphora @writersnetwork
Sometimes
Sometimes I enjoy the soothing sun
Sometimes I love the grey rain,
Sometimes I carry a bag,
Sometimes I carry a baggage,
Sometimes I wear a smile
Sometimes I wear a sunglass,
Sometimes I wait for the mail
Sometimes I write a letter to self,
Sometimes I add to the cart
Sometimes I remove from the cart,
Sometimes I wait for your call
Sometimes I chat with the moon alone,
Sometimes I want to be found
Sometimes I like to stay lost,
Sometimes I look forward to life
Sometimes I just wait for death.
Sometimes every second line is more than a sometime.

✨Overwhelmed by the love and comments. This is a first for me- so many hearts ��������
#apology #wod #pod Thank you for the EC & RC @miraquill @writersnetwork
@_fireflyI Apologize
You had plans, I procrastinated,
You had faith, I doubted,
You deserved better, I compromised,
You warned me, I paid no heed,
Sorry self, I'll do better this time.

So... I ended up writing a poem instead of a quote @writersnetwork
Prompt: It's a beautiful thingIt's A Beautiful Thing
It's a beautiful thing to watch
The colourful sky after a storm.
It's a beautiful thing to put
A 1000 pieces jigsaw together.
It's a beautiful thing to watch
The sunflowers search for the sun.
It's a beautiful thing to feel
Love after a heartbreak.
It's a beautiful thing to let go
Of those that cause pain.
It's a beautiful thing to let
One put self as a priority first.
It's a beautiful thing to be able
To hope, dream, and be alive,
It's a beautiful thing to be
A human.

To Binge Or Not To Binge
Binging is bad!
How so?
Binging trained me to multi-task
Take a shower in lesser time,
Exercise on the bed!
Watch the screen, while on the phone
I can follow both what's going on.
Improved my memory, given the characters list
Better trained at doing detailed research
After all bts, bloopers & con vids are a must!
The plot twists and side plots
Trained my brain to think outside the box!
Binging is good!

#ocean #pod #wod @miraquill Thank you for the rp @writersnetwork
@_fireflyOcean
The very first life
Was born in her womb,
Many lives swim in her belly
Roots grow under her too.
But lives get lost
When they fall in.
Some trying to find
A lost treasure,
Some trying to see
Something new,
And few trying to
Breathe.
Lives get lost in her belly.
The mighty ocean she is.

Spring Never Left
Spring never said goodbye
Simply went to sleep
Behind the autumn leaves.
Spring flows eternal
Under the ice.
Blooms hide their faces
Behind the snow.
Squirrels and berries
Peek from the barks.
Deep snores from the forests
Can be heard from afar.
All will slowly be revealed
As the first warm rays of the year
Touches the skin.
Like a prism,
Colours will refract
across the fields
When the sun kisses
The eyes of Spring.

The 3rd Rock
Between a hot boiling mass
And a cool ball of gas
The rebellious rock
Stopped its clock
And Earth was formed!

Read MoreWhen great souls die, dreaming of stars
Incarnating their starlight in cosmos
Flowing beats, harmony in fallen zephyr
Dusk seems quieter, painted crimson sky
Mourning sparrows, symphonies of battles
Devils raining tears, torrential downpour
While angels stitch wings with mementos
Seldom masquerades by doleful nights,
Slumber lost to all believers
Albeit cocoon of their creations remain
Turning into butterflies of memories
Inspiring felicity in tomorrows
Embers ignited, ashes forming rebirths
Every fragment aches to relay munificence
Greats souls die only to be born again,
On repeat, prevailing upon the universe
Thriving thoroughly along timelines
Watering cicatrix, blooming flowers
And when i read through their tapestries
Stories feel utopian, an unbridled obsession
Making me deeply wonder
Do their ashes lay a rebirth too?

Read MoreHave you ever seen a storm cloud
Feel so anxious
and fear for rain
Summer lightning, forms at dusk light
How blood red skies
embrace their fate
Have you ever seen a snow cloud
As February dismounts
and you pray it's only rain
Feel the darkness of a new moon
Headlights they will guide you
until dawn does break
There's a fear lay in the heart
Whether It's dawn, dusk or dark
If you've given up or never start
There's a courage without shelter
Love, strength and weather
Like redemption after failureUntitled

It's long....but I swear it could have gone pages...
How ocean taught me a lesson...
It's kinda in form of a myth (not completely) about how ocean never gave up and now everyone fears it....♡
@miraquill @writersnetwork
Thank you so much for the long read ♡♡
Happy reading ❤Million things go through me when I take a long walk by the ocean, breathing its salty aroma and many sea shells. Questions like can I do this and what if I fail? What if I fail in the biggest test called life? What if I die? What about my family? Will they even miss me or just sweep some teardrops and forget? What if I just give up now? And take a bowl and sit by the footpath for alms?
And then my eyes would scan the river flowing near. The flowing water is trying to get over the shore. But it's the umpteenth time it failed. And yet its trying hard and harder. Why? Why shall not it just give up? When it already knows it's a failure? And suddenly shocking me beneath my eyelids would appear the whole sea flowing over the shore. My heart would skip a beat and I would abruptly hear a voice, maybe in my head, maybe from the ocean.
It says. "Failure will only put you down for a second. But the ocean of success will eat them all. Just deciding and choosing that you're going to do it will pull you back." And then the sun would appear over the horizon. Filtering the whole sea with its red carpet. Some yellows in its reflection and a large semi circle sitting like a queen. And it's all about nature.
Ocean has really taught me a life lesson. About never giving up until climbing the rope to destination. For trying hard and hard no one can now take a fight against ocean. It can eat up a whole world if made angry and can also represent a beautiful sunset in need of peace.

She
I could never recognize her,
She reflected million colours,
In one blossom.
I could never find
The right words to define,
A soul so sweet,
Smiler, backer, fulfiller, marvel,
Or star from the skies?

Imagination is..
_______________
An escape zone even penniless afford
Wingless flight, the only transport mode
In it, a heart wishes to stroll around
Know this, hither space and time erode!
Here pain can be black and gloom plain grey
Hope, a rainbow after the dark and stormy day.
Trees may whisper secrets, zephyr sing lullaby
The skies cry with you, in a blink years pass by.
Fairies and knights go on rescue mission
Kings and queens rule with clear vision
Be a hero or a villain, after all it's your choice
But to the meek or victims, be their voice
Its a turbulent ride for the ship of life,
in the tempestuous ocean of struggles
You needn't fret you'll get ashore alive
Let lighthouses or constellations guide
Fleeing reality? Wonderland's the place to be
The place where sky is pink, magic is the key
In this life journey we encounter deserts aplenty
Oasis or a mirage - it's still a boon, don't you agree?

Reins were not in my hands! ����♀️��Imagination..
In this desert of life

#SelfLove #SelfReward-ward ~
I was admitted into a psychiatric ward.
There was no tomorrow I look toward.
After discharged, I took a step forward.
I look in front. I don't walk backward.
But, well, I'm still socially-awkward.
So, I isolate. Self-love as self-reward.
I tried to be brave. But, I am coward.

Read MoreFind me barefoot,
A lost runaway bride
Running away from the world
Veiled with monotony
You said girls like me
Are expected to defy the gravity
Of unfiltered expectations,
Clumsy fingers of mine
Forever
Tying, untying
A lifetime of apologies
I guess you know by now
I wasn't born to match the sun,
Yet, I want to lay down with her
Without cursing the night,
Listen,
There are no magic tricks
On its padlocked fists,
Or shortcuts
To dry paper cuts
While we fall in love with our scars
In an old fashioned way
So color me yellow,
Let's leave the maybes
At the door,
Press the button
Of new beginnings
As if we're running out of time,
As if I've finally done something right,
Shall we?

Imagination
Imagination is the Oasis for a writer,
parched in a drought of artistry.

Mirror
I am a mirror,
I always gaze at you,
I have always loved you.
Your flaws, your scars, your smiles and your cries,
I saw them all and I was there with you always.
Somedays in your pouch,
Somedays on your wall.
I never knew magic,
But I've always known you.
You would smile, when the yellow dress looked pretty.
You would call yourself names, I watched you.
Red, was never your favourite.
It made you hallucinate as if your soul was occupied. You never tried Red.
Blue was your go to shade.
You envied red.
But one day,
You shattered me,
the red in you scattered all over me.
I in pieces, watched you crumble.
The red scarve you used to bandage the red blood.
The acids on you, made water crystals in me
melt.
I never imagined.
I would shatter while seeing you scattered.
I never imagined,
world would curse you for your smile.
That day I died
along with your smile.
