“It simmers yet again,
Happiness in a crimson bubble
That we better know as heart;
With the promise of
Flattering illusions
Palpable fantasies
Love lives on … ♥️“
– Shagun
Happy Valentine’s Day, all !! ♥️ 🙂
Love lives on
Thoughts & Poetry
Message from the autumn leaves 🍁
It’s now time to bid adieu,
descend into the solace of winter;
holding on to a promise to revive
and come back alive,
in the best of green,
with the verve of youth,
packed with hope
and smiles of the spring.
Till we meet again,
let’s partner on this journey,
of a silent transformation
yet a throbbing resurrection;
Take a pause to reawaken, too
change things you wanted to,
always change about you.

Sprouting wings
When you cut the rope, you get wings to fly.
And always in that order.

Splash up
Hey, the downpour of life! ☔️
Would you pause a tiny bit?
Gather some colors on your way? ⛱
And we soak ’em up together! 💕💦
Envious waters
Soaring masts
Like an array of spires
Standing proud
Every bit handsome;
But the reflections
Rendered twisted and wound
Ah, the envious waters.
Lose to find
”I don’t fear losing anymore…
I lost myself in You
And I don’t know a richer soul around…”
Here begins our 5th wedding anniversary week, and there come gushing all the precious memories from the day we exchanged rings on our fingers!
Couldn’t resist penning down some thoughts 🙂
The pink within
Snow-laden eyelids
Alluring me to curl back in,
The pink of my heart tells me
World is more beautiful than the dream,
I choose to blossom

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
– P.B. Shelley
My sis-in-law, I look-in-awe
Like a placid waterfall, cascades her hair,
She is a cornucopia, of love and care;
A soignée lady, poetry in motion,
Eyes unfathomable, like the bed of an ocean;
Purity and profoundness, beautifully blended,
The Holy Ganges, from heaven descended;
My chosen epithets, ‘magnanimous’ and ‘kind’,
But also a playful, cherub I find;
A companion to rejoice with, a shoulder to bank on,
She smiled her way in, new joys were born;
Such blessed life, gotten more beautiful thereon,
She’s a colossal treasure trove, we fortunately stumbled upon!
Unfurling Stockholm
My thoughts when I moved to live in this beautiful city for the first time in Sweden..
The city plays a worthy wooer today…
Like a jealous beloved,
Attempts to absorb my attention
With it’s riveting views,
and unexplored contours,
Slowly unfurls what pleaseth a Lover’s eye;
And here I gaze enraptured,
Beginning to Be Bewitched.
The city plays a worthy wooer today..
This veiled snow bride..
A Pearl, a Palanquin, a Vow, a Smile,
A Swan, a Seashell, or Soul of a child;
Source of a stream, Dew drops that gleam,
A Companion’s love, a Mirror reflection,
Pride of a truth, or Mother’s affection,
Astounding are Thy Myriad forms, PURITY,
What name can I offer thee?!
Elated as I am, BEHOLDING this Nature’s Splendor,
I sit by the window, in the streets I meander,
Gleefully watch My EARTH;
In a veil of WHITE
An embellished bride,
So pure as the DOVES of Aphrodite..
Walking on a bed of Jasmine,
Adorned in the wreath of SNOW
Countless wonders, in a single lifetime,
Will a man ever be fortunate to know!
