Maverick Imagination 🐈🐈🐈😢😔💔💔💔

 Frodo🐈💔,   BinDee🐈💔,   Finch🐈💔,

After spending on it,

Just weeks, far too few,

Itty, bitty kittens three,

To Earth have bid Adieu,

 Sequel to yesterday's poem

Tuxedo Panther ❤️

 Starring Lil' Binks (aka ZacharyFur) as the Tuxedo Panther ❤️

Any distressed kitten

Just has to cry out "MEW!"

In rushes the Tuxedo Panther

To it's rescue.

छोटी सी बात

Songwriters: Salil Chowdhury / Yogesh

छोटी सी बात ❤

न जाने क्यूँ, 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

वो अंजान पल ढल गये कल 

आज वो रंग बदल बदल 

मन को मचल मचल रहें, न चल 

न जाने क्यूँ 

वो अंजान पल

सजे बिना मेरे नैनों मे

टूटे रे हाय रे सपनों के महल

न जाने क्यूँ 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

वही है डगर

वही है सफ़र है नहीं

साथ मेरे मगर अब मेरा हमसफ़र

इधर उधर ढूँढे नज़र वही है डगर

कहाँ गईं शामें मदभरी

वो मेरे, मेरे वो दिन गये किधर

न जाने क्यूँ 

होता है ये ज़िंदगी के साथ

अचानक ये मन

किसी के जाने के बाद 

करे फिर उसकी याद

छोटी छोटी सी बात 

न जाने क्यूँ

13 Years, 620 Poems

12 months seem to have gone by in a flash and here I am once again to celebrate a fresh milestone - 620 poems in 13 years.

Cuz  Joao Marcedo you put me on the world map in 2015 and shored up my conviction in my mission and myself. Every milestone since I dedicate to you.

My survival as a poet with an audience would not have been possible without you, who visit my blog and your continued belief in me and my gift of verse.

A heartfelt Thank You! 🙏🏽 to each of you for your continued encouragement and moral support.

Projecting, Interpreting

 You did not see me,

While you were reading my words

You saw the caricature, 

That you have built up of me

Cloaked in the projections of your own mind-set.

Onto whatever I said/wrote

You put tone to my words

Nuanced my phrases

Restructured my punctuation

Assigned intentions

..... According to your perceptions

In short, you projected your interpretations onto my words

And so you missed out, 

On the beauty of my mind 

Its unique approach to issues, 

The careful and precise usage

Of language to communicate a thought. 

 ... And as a result, communication failed and we both lost.

Contrasts

To Where All Senses Are Attuned

 20.02.2021

To Where All Senses Are Attuned

As the sun sets over the horizon

Orange streaks into dark rose melds

Gradually seeping into violet, 

And the blackness steadily descends.

But the beauty of that changing canvas

Now with twinkling stars festooned

Loses out to a broken heart

To where all senses are attuned.

The soundless keening cries of loss

In the air abounds

And that eerie silence 

Blots out all other sounds.

 

As the night progresses

The longing in intensity grows

To be loved, cherished and protected

By the one that one adores.

And the sky grows darker

Into the predawn black

Matching emotions perfectly 

The 'Lack-Of-Hope' pitch-black.

The sun rises over the horizon

And the dawn sky steadily loads

From sombre grey, to violet to pink

Cheerful blue, making inroads.

But the beauty of that changing canvas

With fluffy clouds now festooned

Loses out to a broken heart

To where all senses are attuned.

... Jacqui

On a different note ... To Love Eternal!

Though this poem focuses on the flute, it could be replaced by any other musical instrument. Music uplifts me and I thank all musicians for bringing the sweet tones of music to life.
