Thursday Rhymes 18.7.19

THURSDAY RHYMES 18.7.19


Time for you to fly

away in past’s sky.

Some feathers will stay

in the pages of life.

When I will sit down

beside the window

opening book of memory

of past days

turning the pages

of life’s past

those feathers

will bring out

nostalgia

and warmth.

For now you have to fly,

for another year is waiting

to enter life’s stage.

To share what it have to share,

alas neither you nor I

can hold back time!


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.


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.

Thursday Rhymes 11.7.19

THURSDAY RHYMES 11.7.19


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!

Butterflies from life’s garden


Butterflies from life’s garden

http://www.amazon.com/dp/b00w6tgly2


This book contains a set of poems about the world of human beings, fairies and fantastical creatures and the divine. The tone is kept a bit mellow mostly, gentler. The genres are mixed of course, what did you expected from me? I never follow one genre do I? Hope you will enjoy this journey into land of fantasy!


Every sensation that became poetry, every kind friend, admirer who gave them the courage to express themselves. Poetry is a very shy, timid flower that blooms for loving hearts, they make the poet brave enough to write things so close to their heart.


I started replacing the contents of my story-books in 2017, I almost completely change them every year since then. Poetry books altering started in 2018 and will continue till I get bored. Poetry books are only altered, not fully changed, the majority of the poems will stay, maybe I will rewrite, edit them but they won’t be replaced like story books. I may add few extra poems and change them each year but don’t count on that!


Do drop a line after reading them please!

Moments from the journey with new poems in Kindle


Moments from the journey



This book contains a set of poems about God, human beings and their ways. We all know it is almost impossible to analyze poems you have to read them, feel them. So all I can say it contains a set of poems about human world in different colours-love, envy, pain, spiritualism with a healthy dose of philosophy. Hope they will impress you.


Poetry is a very shy, timid flower that blooms for loving hearts, they make the poet brave enough to write things so close to their heart.


If you are a regular reader you already know, if not well starting from 2017 I first republished my story-books (with new contents excluding the title stories), then I edited and altered the contents of the poetry books too, starting from 2018, As I don’t have any plans of adding un-necessary titles this will continue. Every year I will alter or change the contents of the books. In case of story-books the contents will be changed a lot, in case of poetry books a little, I will keep the books intact and shuffle a set of poems or maybe change them completely with new poems you will have to wait and see!


Do share your views after reading!
