peace


My definition of peace

is a bit different!

Mostly its water

tranquil, pure, sweet!

When threatened

it often breathes fire

or turns to ice

to those who look down upon it.

This book is mostly about God, spiritualism and blessed sides of life, and will stay so, even if I change the contents of the book completely, which I am not planning right now, right now I am only editing and sometimes rewriting old poems and of course I have completely removed the illustrations permanently. So this book will bring a bunch of poems each year revolving around light and God.


As you may know it started with my storybooks in 2017, I kept the titles of the books but changed their contents fully, excluding the title stories. I told that I will include the poetry books from next year, here they are from 2018 onwards the contents of the poetry books will change too, most probably every year. In case of poetry books there are no title poems so majority of the contents or all contents will change. Hope you will enjoy them! I really don’t have any intentions of adding more titles in Amazon, I have stuffed up too many already, but I am stuffed with works so I will just change the contents every year, of as many books as I can handle! The createspace books, the paperbacks will be deleted this year-2019, so from this year onwards only poems, illustrated books will be in shoptly only barring few illustration based books in Kindle.

DEPTH


Look within!

Inside your very soul,

there is not and

should not be

any barrier!

Who is looking back

At you?

That is the real you,

not what your friends think,

not what your enemies claim!

Only you know truly who

you truly are!

Warmth


Eyes that fill up your world

with light by a mere glance.

Heart that embraces your soul

without a single touch.

Talks about truest love

without speaking a single word.

Showers true happiness around

without spilling a single drop.

They say forgiveness is virtue

I have seen this virtue abused

grossly without repentance

time after time

till that forgiving heart

is ruined beyond repair!


Mostly these words are spoken

by the very people who love

to destroy and ruin those kind hearts!

Why? Maybe they use goodness of others

as their shield against due justice!

We can never tell for sure!


Unfortunately we are no mind-readers!

Maybe next time some ghoul preaches

virtues of forgiveness,

you can simply say you are keeping

that feeling on a hold!

You will forgive him or her

after destroying him!


Forgiveness indeed is a beautiful feeling,

but maybe, in this world of ghouls

it is a virtue meant for angels,

the winged ones I mean, whom human can’t hurt!


A bouquet of wildflowers



This book is mostly about human nature, its complexity. Both its darkness and light has been shared in this book. Beware many poems are pretty direct, harsh straight from real world! But there are a few lighter ones too don’t worry.

Works from my wordpress blog are shared here. That I think is more convenient for me because I am quite at home with blogging there. So why not utilize the privilege when I can share the works there.
