My debut poetry book, Water and Wine

I am elated to share the news that my debut poetry book “Water and Wine”, by Writersgram Publications is finally out in the world.It has been a beautiful journey of knitting the words into poetic order and giving them a life. I am extremely thankful to Writersgram Publications for making my dream a reality.

Back Cover Blurb

This book is a priceless collection of twenty-five poems of the author. It is a voyage in itself where the goal- the emancipation of the self through poems is known yet the path leading to the same was still to be discovered. These poems are a reflection of self- memoir. Their range is wide and varieties are many, yet, they all come together making an organic whole where one blends with the other. The book provides an opportunity for one who aspires to having a relentless journey through poems dealing with seasons and birds, despair and delight, love and longing for spiritual reflections. Some are easily comprehensible to a reader; some throw a challenge to even an ardent lover of poetry. Some are meant for a family reading sitting at one point; some demand an adult’s reflection in solitude. Some may be treated as being a part of light reading; some may withstand the passage of time, yet, every single one- long or short, micro or sonnet- will tickle the mind of a reader. The verses given in the book are bold and pregnant with a touch of philosophical exposition. All the poems given in this book belong to free style verse.

Poetry Published at Spillwords.com, La Lune

I am happy to share my French poem, ’ La Lune’ which has been published by Spillwords Press. I am grateful to the entire team for making me more conscious and aware. 

This French poem, La Lune, translated as ‘The Moon’ in English, is an ode to the Moon and its light, a blissful association of nature with human beings. The union of the Moon has been shown in many works in the past yet the portrayal is not archaic. The relationship is unique in its own way meaning that all other relationships in life need to be reciprocated but nature brings peace to the thought process without demanding anything in return. Whereas, as human beings, we forget that nature needs to be loved in order to maintain ecological balance. Hence, the central theme of this work is to evoke the importance of nature which creates a deep reflection and tenderness inside one which materialistic things or relationships are unable to do. Besides, it has been personified as a lover of the poetess who will remain faithful till the last breadth of his life. The belonging to our only natural satellite is symbolic and spiritual in this particular piece of art.

Poetry published at Spillwords.com- ” Les Yeux”

I am pleased to share that my poem “ Les Yeux” has been published at Spillwords.com. It’s an honor to share space with such talented people. I am thankful to the entire team of Spillwords Press.

A French poem inspired by Shiromi Pinto’s line

The poem, Les Yeux, which literally means ‘The Eyes’ in English, is a sort of self-meditation on one’s own reflection, which, in turn, represents a continuous engagement of body and soul. It’s a fusion of what you see, what you feel, and how you react; moreover, human beings have the ability to pretend their feelings. That is the reason why eyes become the door or the carrier, which takes a person towards his soul. In other words, eyes are the medium that conveys the truth or the lie. This poem expresses the idea that eyes may be of any color but which one will convey the reality is a challenge. It’s not eyes, which are in question, but the notion or understanding of how we perceive things through eyes, which is the original reflection of self and others.

Have a wonderful day!

I am away from glory

To catch hold of lory

Flying high in the story

I am away from glory

Travelling in the lorry

In the love of Morry!

Poetry published in Indian Periodical- ‘Armpit’

I am happy to share that my poem ‘Armpit’ is featured in Indian Periodical. I am so  thankful to the entire team for considering and publishing my work.

This piece of work reveals the hypocrisy of our society. One should take pride in one’s body and soul.  Be happy with what you have.

Armpit!

Underneath the armpit
this single strand of axillary hair
gives major goals
to the body and soul,
the self is highly
subjective in the meantime.

Fear!

“Fear has its chances of winning

during the lockdown; to embrace the

reality spreading in the air,

defeating the number is required

to overcome this stubborn fear.”

This can be paraphrased as- “Fear has its chances of winning during the lockdown; to overcome this stubborn fear, it is required to defeat the number and to embrace the reality being spread all over.”

I was still in his room

Waiting and grinning

Of love which is blushing

Like the blushing blossoms. Continue reading “My poem” HIS ROOM” published by Indian Periodical” →

Lock me down!!

Lock me down at the
seashore ; carry me to
the caves of destiny.

Lock me down in the darkness
of the wild, to sink into the
gloomy shades of mine.

Lock me down on the mountains,
to catch hold of the heights unknown.

Lock me down in the ocean,
to create the history of motion.

Lock me down in the dilemma
of life, to argue with the hopes of life.

Lock me down in the room,
to disagree and to agree
with the first draft of mine.

Lock me down in the memories
of thine, to comprehend the existing
version of mine.

Lock me down between the lines,
to be searched with a desire known,
understood only by some!!!

Skeptical!

I am skeptical
of the reasons
of the answers
of the questions
of myself.

 

Things in question

are to be subjective,

to be retrospective

in the bloomy life.

 

He is oblivious

in the vacation of time,

to be lost

in the content

of mine.

 

My actions defy

inner combat,

the power relies

on the self

acknowledgement

of Shine.

 

I am skeptical

of the reasons

of the answers

of the questions

of myself!!!
