Yercaud Poetry Festival 26 Aug 2022- Dream Poetry - "Restore Space"

 

Poem 1 - Lost in between

Gazed did I, at the stars above

Trying to find you roaring in love






Just in a jiffy, as I closed my eyes

you disappeared into the vast skies

filling my life with emptiness and dreams

No memory to convince by any means

 

Search did I, into the cosmic rays

Felt the warmth, in the splendid ways

formless love that shined to bestow

upon my thoughts as I always know

you appeared within my spiritual quest

proving to be the aspirational best

 

Loved did I, the spaces that I adore

elements of life and ecstasy unknown

with the inner consciousness raised

everything emptied itself with love base

Is this the divine will or the space between?

For sure, Lost did I, in love left in between!!!

 

Poem 2 – Expressionless

Some creations are done for no reason
Not for a particular fashion or season
They sprang out in a true emotion
To make the same a real passion
writer in me shed a tear for unknown space
Strong woman in me, have no fear in disguise

For the few of hazards around
All I said and begot is fake profound
But to my true self and heart
I will cherish my finest art
I endeared as a professional part
Perfected with the radiances apart

Far did I fly with my thoughts galore
Wide did I travel with horizons to adore
Deep did I go with my spirits to sore
Poetry to me will never die as I adore…

This is my space, my tranquillity

Peace, Love and Harmony within!!!

 

Poem 3- Stars that never shined!!

 

Tiny silver dots in the sky

that shimmer spectacles in the night

As the canopy of night darkness lay

these pollock dots of sky shine bright

So far, so small and so uncared for

Yet, there is something significant to adore

 

Amid darkness, they shined undaunted in sky

forgotten when they fell on earth for a while shy

They were stars that withstood the test of times

waves through the strongest waves of life

Beckoning the home of hope for untravelled miles

Yet, there is something significant as they did fly

 

Powerful specked light of the tiny dots

rose amidst the merciless human rots

No amount of darkness removes the spark

for each one of them, did place their mark

Yes, they are the women stars that never shined!

Yet, the connecting dots of lives well lived!!!

Poetry Anthology: Sanatana Bharat - Azhadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav- 15 Aug 2022 - DIAMOND INDIA - UNHEARD SONGS OF OBSCURE HEROS

 


Patriotic Poems

 

Poem Title 1:  Rani Velu Nachiyar

 

The Power Queen of Sivaganga,

flowed her valour like River Ganga

Veera Mangai of South India

First Queen to wage war against British India

Ali’s Army, Feudal Lords,

Maruthu brothers, Dalit Commanders

supporting Nachiyar

with un-scattering loyalty

 training to end the common enemy

Boundless agony on tragic ends

unrelenting sacrifices till the end

Udayaal stood the spirit of the Queen

Raising the bar of the army

Loyalty and unflinching faith

Rani Velu Nachiyar

is the Name of Courage,

Nerves tightening the blood

surging her head in pride

As she reckoned to kill

as fitting reward to treasons

1780- The year marked in bold

epoch making battle of the queen

with the fully armoured British

To re-establish her land and soil

for her and her own people

The ebb and Flow of life

A Woman, A Warrior and

A Mighty Queen Called Velu Nachiyar

survived surpassing all the hurdles

Wins the destiny

Etched her name in the History

Of Mother India

As the Valiant Power Woman

remained from south of India

Called

Rani Velu Nachiyar!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem Title 2:  Alluri Sita Rama Raju

 

The name that brought fear

with the terror in his eyes

and the valour in his arms

Rama Raju, the Telugu Son

A National Revolutionary

With wisdom, pride, and courage

Saving his traditional forms of agriculture

taking over non-traditional guerrilla wars

Mustering the forces of tribals

As the Hero of the jungles

British thirst to quench the rebellion

unstopped manhunts chasing Raju

He left behind his lady love Sita

to embrace sacrifices to his first love India

familiar with the struggles of his Nation

The sounds of his fierce horse rides

leaving behind spiritual tutelages

sent shrills down the spines of British

Messiah, the tribals called him

The Charisma that influenced many

Educating the people of their rights

And engaging in fearless fights

touring the deadly forest terrains

taking a control of geographical plains

A rebel, truly honest to his land

Martyred tied to a tree blind

People cried beating drums

singing songs in their hero’s praise

Bows, Arrows and Spears

Continued the movement he began!

Heroes like Rama Raju do not die!!!

They live in every miniscule soil

Liberated, Free, and rightfully owned

Homages paid to the bravery and scarified

A life short- but well lived

As the one and only Alluri Sita Rama Raju!!!

The Gallant Son of Andhra Pradesh
