NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 16- Embrace

In an embrace so warm and tight,

Two hearts find solace, day or night.

With arms wrapped around,

Love's sweet echo resounds, 

In that moment, all feels just right!

NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 14- List Poem

In the bustling city streets I find, A myriad of wonders to unwind.

1. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Wafting from cafes, warm and cozy.

2. Pedestrians hurrying, phones in hand, Lost in their digital wonderland.

3. Street performers, talents on display, Captivating crowds in their own way.

4. Pigeons flocking, in a synchronized dance, Amidst the chaos, they find their chance.

5. Neon signs, lighting up the night, A kaleidoscope of colors, oh so bright.

6. Honking cars, a cacophony of sound, Mingling with chatter, all around.

7. Towering skyscrapers, reaching for the sky, A testament to human ambition, oh so high.

8. A patch of green, a park oasis, Offering respite from urban phases.

9. Smiling faces, strangers passing by, Each with a story, hidden from the eye.

10. And amidst it all, I find my place, In this vibrant city, a boundless space.

NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 13 - Sharp - Today's Youth

 

In the youth of today, sharp minds do soar,

With technology's wings, they aim to explore.

Empathy's beacon, their guiding light,

In a world of chaos, they shine so bright.

Their fingers dance on screens, a digital art,

Yet their hearts beat strong, with love's impart.

In virtual realms, they connect and create,

Building bridges of hope, beyond any gate.

With innovation's fire, they blaze their trail,

Seeking justice and truth, they never fail.

Through pixels and bytes, they spread their love,

A force for change, rising above.

So let's celebrate the youth of today,

In their hands, lies the future's ray.

With technology, empathy, and love combined,

They'll sculpt a world of a kinder kind.

NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 12 - Food Memory- from my grandmother's kitchen

 In grandma's kitchen, memories bloom,

Where Andhra delicacies chase away gloom.

Spicy pickles, a burst of flavor divine,

Each bite a journey, a taste so fine.

Chill drinks, a cool relief on sweltering days,

A sip of nostalgia in every glaze.

From fiery curries to tangy chutneys bold,

Every dish a story, waiting to be told.

 

The aroma of spices fills the air,

As grandma's love permeates everywhere.

In every morsel, her warmth we find,

A culinary journey, to treasure and bind.

So let's raise a toast to grandma's fare,

To the flavors and love she used to share.

For in her kitchen, memories thrive,

Where Andhra delicacies keep our spirits alive.

NaPoWriMo -2024- Day 11 - You and I

You and I, a playful pair, Forever close, yet never there. Side by side in jest we roam, But distant still, in our own home.

Like shadows dancing in the light, Entwined yet separate in our flight. Hand in hand, we paint the sky, Yet in solitude, we both comply.

We laugh, we jest, we never part, But deep inside, we guard our heart. A paradox of love's embrace, Together entwined in separate space.

So let's embrace this witty dance, Where closeness thrives in happenstance. For in our togetherness, we find delight, 

Even when apart, in day and night. 

NaPoWriMo 2024 - Day 10 - Prompt -Everywhere Poem Title: Seeking Everywhere

 

In quest of truth, we journey far and wide,

Seeking solace, with spirits as our guide.

Through valleys deep and mountains high we roam,

In every whisper of wind, we find a home.

In temples grand, with incense swirling high,

We seek the answers, beneath the endless sky.

In mosques, we kneel, hearts humble and sincere,

Finding peace in prayers, calming every fear.

On rivers' banks, where serenity flows,

We search for wisdom, where the lotus grows.

In forests dense, were silence reigns supreme,

We listen closely to nature's sacred dream.

In every face, we see divinity's trace,

A spark of light in every human race.

For in our quest, it's unity we find,

Binding souls, in spirit intertwined.

So let us journey, seekers evermore,

Through every realm, to wisdom's distant shore.

In every step, let spirituality bloom,

Guiding us through life's eternal room.

NaPoWriMo - Day 8- A Funny Love Poem - "Hustle of a mom and a daughter" Ofcourse with my and only Aish

In love's mad dance, we sway, me and you,

A duet of laughter, tears, and "I do's".

Your sass, my wisdom, a tangled knot,

Through storms and sun, we never forgot.

Like cats and dogs, we clash and fight,

Yet in our hearts, a bond so tight.

Your quirks, my quirks, we learn to embrace,

In this crazy waltz, we find our grace.

Through love and hate, we navigate,

Emotions raw, we elevate.

With tears we've shed, we've built respect, 

A mother's love, a daughter's perfect duet. 

NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 7- Reasons - Poem Title : Reasons to be happy in all seasons

 

Beneath the azure sky, reasons to rejoice,

In every breath, in every choice.

Richness not in gold but in hearts that care,

In moments shared, in bonds we bear.

Contentment found in simple pleasures near,

In laughter's echo, in shedding a tear.

Peace like a river, serene and deep,

In letting go, in tranquil sleep.

Liveliness in the dance of dawn's first light,

In melodies sung under stars at night.

For happiness thrives in the love we give,

In the beauty of life, in the will to live.

So let us cherish each moment's grace,

In the tapestry of life, in every embrace.

NaPoWriMo 2024- Day 6 - Deprivation - Poem Title : Deprived of love

 

In the barren expanse where love should dwell,

Echoes of yearning, a desolate spell.

Deprivation gnaws at the core of the soul,

A silent ache, an unfathomable toll.

Like wilted petals, hearts wither and strain,

Longing for warmth, amidst the cold disdain.

In shadows cast by love's elusive light,

Loneliness reigns, a relentless night.

Devoid of affection, a void deep and wide,

In the depths of solitude, hearts silently abide.

Yet in this emptiness, a flicker remains,

Hope's gentle whisper, amidst love's chains.

NaPoWriMo 2024 - Day 5- A dream forgotten - Poem Title: My forgotten dream

 

In the quiet corners of my mind it hides,

A dream once vibrant, now softly resides.

Though forgotten by time's relentless stride,

Its essence lingers, a treasure inside.

Through life's tumultuous journey it gleams,

A cherished whisper in my heart's deepest dreams.

Though years may pass and memories fade away,

This dream, eternal, in my soul will stay.

#NaPoWriMo - Day 4- AGAIN - Poem Title " Falling in love again and again"

 

In shadows of pain, I found a spark,

A flicker of hope in the endless dark.

Through failures and tears, love did bloom,

In the depths of despair, like a fragrant perfume.

Each hurt a lesson, each tear a release,

In the symphony of life, love found its peace.

Amidst the chaos, a whisper of bliss,

Falling in love again, with each tender kiss.

Through trials and triumphs, we dance the same tune,

In the rhythm of love, our hearts commune.

For in this journey, amidst joy and strain,

We find the courage to fall in love again and again.

#NaPoWriMo2024 - Day 3- Cat Poem - Poem Title: "Our Paru- Our Cat Queen"

 

In a kingdom of cozy corners and soft purrs,

There reigns a queen, with grace that stirs.

Paru, the feline sovereign of our abode,

With whiskers like scepters and eyes that glow.

She saunters with elegance, a regal stride,

In her presence, all troubles subside.

For she's more than just a pet, you see,

She's the light, the joy, the heart's decree.

In her kingdom, she holds dominion supreme,

Where cushions are thrones and dreams gleam.

With a flick of her tail, she commands our affection,

Bringing warmth and love in her every direction.

She's the muse of our laughter, the comfort we seek,

In her soft fur, we find solace unique.

With each gentle purr, she whispers tales

Of friendship, loyalty, and love that never fails.

Through days of sun and nights of moon,

Paru's presence is a soothing tune.

For she's not just a cat, but a cherished friend,

Whose loyalty and love have no end.

So here's to Paru, our queen divine,

In her kingdom of love, we forever shine.

Our light, our happiness, our guiding star,

Paru, the queen of our house, forever you are.

Love you Baby Paru, our Cat Queen !

#NaPoWriMo2024 - Day 2 - "Renew - Poem Title : Renew my energy, my spirit and my soul!

 

Renew Yourself

In the depths of pain, where shadows loom,

And sickness grips, like an endless gloom,

I seek a refuge, a light to find,

To renew my spirit, weary and confined.

Amidst the hurt, where tears may flow,

I seek solace in the gentle glow

Of hope's eternal flame, burning bright,

Guiding me through the darkest night.

In discomfort's grasp, I find my strength,

A resilience born of trials' length.

For even in the midst of strife,

There lies the seed of a better life.

With each breath I take, I rise anew,

Fueled by the fire that burns true.

Through adversity's storm, I stand tall,

For within me lies the power to recall:

That pain may weaken, but it can't defeat,

The spirit within, resilient and fleet.

And though sickness may linger, it shall pass,

Leaving behind lessons learned in its glass.

So let me embrace the challenges faced,

For they shall not leave me wholly disgraced.

In their wake, I find the strength to be,

Renewed, resilient, forever free.

#NaPoWriMo2024 - Day 1 - "Soft" - Poem Title : Soft things that touch my soul

 In whispers of dawn, a gentle breeze blows,

Caressing cheeks with tender repose.

The laughter of children, pure and bright,

A symphony of innocence in flight.

Petals that dance upon morning dew,

Soft kisses of sunlight, painting hues.

A lover's embrace, a warm embrace,

Where time slows, and worries find no place.

The melody of rain upon the earth,

A lullaby of solace, giving birth.

A puppy's wagging tail, eyes full of trust,

In their presence, worries turn to dust.

The embrace of a friend in times of need,

A silent comfort, a noble deed.

The twinkle of stars in the midnight sky,

A reminder of dreams that never die.

The kindness of strangers, unexpected and rare,

Restoring faith in humanity's care.

The beauty of art, in its myriad forms,

Speaks to the soul through its quiet storms.

The wisdom of elders, stories untold,

Lessons learned from lives that unfold.

The bond between generations, strong and deep,

A legacy of love that we forever keep.

In these soft things, the world finds its grace,

Touching our hearts in its tender embrace.

For in moments like these, we truly see,

The beauty of life, in its simplicity.

In the realm of love, where whispers play,

A symphony composed in shades of gray.

"When I love, I endure, I resign, I renew."

Each line a canvas, emotions unfurled,

Love's journey, a tumultuous swirl.

A poetic dance, free and unconfined,

In the verses of Kabani, love's defined.

Through passion's lens, he paints the heart,

A tapestry woven, a delicate art.

"When I love, I am a river, I am a sea,"

His words, a testament to love's decree.

In the tapestry of love, Kabani weaves,

A timeless ode, where the heart believes

Write a rhyming poem, or non-rhyming ( free versed) based on the poem of When I love by the Romantic Syrian Poet : Nizar Kabani

 

Theme : When I love

 

Here it is:

 

When I love

I feel that I am the king of time

I possess the earth and everything on it

And ride into the sun upon my horse.

When I love

I become liquid light

invisible to the eye

And the poems in my notebooks

become mimosa and poppy.

When I love

The water washes from my fingers

Grass grows on my tongue

When I love

I become time inside all time.

When I love a woman

all the trees run barefoot

toward me.

Nizar Kabani
