Hear them deep within,
experience their whisper in my inmost soul
Reverberating delicate waves
wordless, pale.
I listen each one of them yet can't fathom any
Wanna ease, release
their buried torment,
Wanna heal
their bruises, my bruises,
Wanting to become tides
splashing in my head and heart
again and again
spiralling the transparent watery thoughts
to cool and calm the burning wounds of Mohini Puranikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11971969513354282016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639483083860331614.post-86088952999518994772019-02-20T20:22:00.000+05:302019-02-20T21:56:27.759+05:30Haiku: Freeborn
When our inner critic tries to block our words before they would tell their story it's worth reminding ourselves...
though no wings they have
let your words fly unshackled,
high like freeborn birds

The poem inspired by the digital painting on our photoblog KrishnaMohini on the theme 'Togetherness'. Art can be expressed in different forms such as painting, now painting digitally, music, singing, or poetry and still it is 'One, the expression of the aatma' - the realization this creation brought to my heart. I hope you'll like the poem as you liked the artwork.

Light a lamp of hope in the hearts
who have forgotten to see it
that they have it in themselves
'always'
It's the mind that's burnt out
Not the light at all
Dark is illusory
Hope is eternal
Let's the spread the light of hope
everywhere.
Narayankripa wishes you a very happy and prosperous Deepawali.

Paint your days
in the hues of your heart
Days meet us
blank and colorless,
Dark and gloomy,
bright and happy,
Soft and smooth to wear,
hard and tough to bear
Some days rise with no emotion,
full of emptiness
present you the opportunity to colorize'em
in the hues of your heart's kingdom
Choose your colors,
decide your emotions,
be curious, select hope

The fear of unknown dominates our entire life. The poem on the powers hidden in the unknown is about fears. The prompt 'fear' is suggested by @micromprompt. (Twitter handle).
Fear ― The energy,
the force
challenging you to dare
Open the doors of
Unknown
Possibilities, treasures, risks,
... and Power.
Unlock power
Facing fears.

I reach out to find myself
in my struggle with the dark days
I reach out to you
confused
seeking clarity
from your calm water
transparent to its core
I reach out to you
devastated
seeking hope
from your cool water
still from its core
I reach out to you

Three weeks of the April poetry month have already passed. It's difficult to believe just one week is remaining. During these days I would feel stressed out to write the poems. I couldn't figure out the reason behind it. I had a discussion with my brother regarding current writing struggle. He noticed the issue as frames. The insightful discussion has inspired me today's poem.

before following anybody blindly

before obeying blindly

tough questions
those making the controller uncomfortable

It's believed that the one who finds the fern flower gets prosperity and fortune. The theme for the day is 'fern flower'.
Searching life in the mute struggle
walking through life's chaotic jungle,
when moments were gloomed
flower of destiny bloomed
light in my heart, soul-bound
poetry – the fern flower I found
for a year, prospering just once?
It's beaming with lasting florescence
