Let me go

“Five years have passed, but I don’t know why we split…..” said the wistful message from a number I’ve tried hard to forget. “I’m allergic to peanut butter, despite the nutritional value. Does that answer you?” “I’d like to know the cause of allergy.” “Persistence … I wish you’d let me go – without any … Continue reading Let me go

WISHES AND WHISPERS

Wishes and whispers
if only I knew it then
unrequited love.


Repeats and repents
if only I knew it then
bewailing sorrow


Knowledge and knowing
contented with here and now
happily alive

Bloated

lavish praise bestowed undeserving egos bloat gliding to mountain peaks narcissism unabated tumbling Humpties all around   https://colleenchesebro.com/2019/09/24/colleens-2019-weekly-tanka-tuesday-poetry-challenge-no-146-synonymsonly/

Audience

“This shot is an absolute masterpiece. Shall we use it as the opening or closing shot in the movie? Let the actor slowly turn around to face the audience or turn away.” “I guess both…” “Why?” “The story in between will happen below. The audience will identify more with that.” (273 characters) https://katmyrman.com/2019/09/24/twittering-tales-155-24-september-2019/

How?

winds empower sails comply my oars are magic ambitions fly   birds whisper to the wind ask the clouds if they’ve  it pinned   How did it rise so high from watery seas to the sky?   A prose or poetry sequel is invited, if someone can take the thread ahead. https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/09/24/photo-challenge-282/

Extinction

I see renewal, reinvention replacement all around the world is not the same but not bad either…   Then, I look inward to search for hopes of peace, serenity   they have been buried sensibly -but a part of me lives to mourn extinction of dreams https://dversepoets.com/2019/09/23/quadrille-88-and-the-word-is/

अगर मैं यह जानता

English translation of Amit Agrawal’s take on the prompt

I’d never love
only if I knew
love is penalised
it leads to the grill

I got – not spring
but lessons in seasons
shedding leaves –
unseasonal, unfulfilled

you turned away…
in betrayal
who wants to drink
-glasses unfilled

Whither love promises
If you are not with me
What’s life , and
what’s being killed?

My individuality
dissolving –O God
find me if you can
now tell me your will…

तुझसे न दिल लगाता
अगर मैं यह जानता
मुहब्बत की सज़ा क्या है ।१।

बहार तो न दी मुझे
तूने यह समझा दिया
बेमौसम खिज़ा क्या है ।२।

फ़ेर ली आंखें तूने
तू ही न पिलाये तो
पीने का मज़ा क्या है ।३।

क्या हुई वो कसमें
जब तू साथ नहीं तो
जीना क्या, कज़ा क्या है ।४।

क्या मेरी ख़ुदी अमित
ऐ ख़ुदा तू ही बता
अब तेरी रज़ा क्या है ।५।

Now that I know it

only if I knew an outstretched palm awaiting raindrops would get scorched in the sun I would’ve conquered thirst   only if I knew parasols I held close would be blown by the wind I would’ve built shelters   Only if I knew relationships will fall short of expectations I would’ve invested in myself   … Continue reading Now that I know it
