The Thirty Sixth Poem- A Piece Of Peace

A Piece Of Peace🕊️


What is peace?
Is it something I crave when trapped in chaos?
Is it just meant to tease
Me that I can’t have it whenever I wish?

My mind is a mess,
How much ever I try to calm myself,
It always comes back to haunt me nonetheless;
My fears and doubts continue to haunt my self-built Self.

You will know it,
What it’s like and how it feels,
Only when you are in it;
From outside it just looks like another bunch of dramatic reels.

From time to time I crave it,
But peace is a mystery hidden;
Will I ever become fit
To deserve it, gold-laden?

Is it just because I am unhappy,
And I forget who I am,
That I feel so crappy,
Unable to realise at this moment who I really am?

Come back peace,
Come back to me,
Come back from within me, please,
Come back and set me free.

I feel hollow and mundane,
So please light the spark within me.
I promise to spread it like sunshine,
Hence, unlock the gates to peace, let me feel it and be.

    They are breathtaking and lovely as usual. Simply put, you turn the words that aren't spoken from our hearts into poetry.

The Thirty Third Poem- Wintery Mornings

-
  ❄️ Wintery Mornings❄️ The pleasantness of dawn invites me, Long walks in the early hours entice me, Wintery morning’s cool breeze, Makes me feel so light and free. When people haven’t woken up yet, Half the world is asleep; In perfect glory, the day is set; I’ve never felt a calmness so deep. The fog sets up a lovely scene, Causing a little shiver in me; With my mind in peace and the land around me green, Surely there’s no other place I’d rather be. Freshness of my neighbour’s lilies, The smell of moist mud under my feet, Strolling on the sand and stones of the streets, I feel nature’s embrace so deep and so sweet. As the sun’s first rays touch me, Warmth rushes into my body; As the blessings of the morning dawn upon me, I feel the amount of strength and wisdom I embody. There’s just something about wintery mornings, Experience for yourself and see; You’ll enjoy the most exhilarating of mornings, So come on, unlock your peace with this golden key. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

The Fortieth Poem- Sorrow And Strength

-
Sorrow And Strength What do I tell myself, When the thought alone makes me cry, When the place reminds me of it, The grief that was witnessed by the midnights? How do I console myself? What words do I say to myself? When I uncontrollably burst out into tears, But try to restrict them to the edges of my pillow? Grief, fuelled by rage Caused due to deep hurt, Causes an ache in my heart, And the loop reiterates all over again. My mind says fine, now you can let go, And for a moment I think I can keep it all together; Then suddenly the feeling of angst comes back, With tears sticking down my eyes, I sob helplessly. The aftermath of my sorrow is always prayer; I realise I can convey my feelings to the higher power, So I pray, I say every bit I want to say, And slowly, bit by bit, my grief starts to fade away. I am aware that there’s always prayer, But I need to bawl my eyes out, To let go of withheld emotions, And pour back in my cup of optimism. For your smallest or deepest grief, Remember

The First Poem- Welcome New Year

🎇 Welcome New Year 🎊 Here's to new beginnings And season's greetings! Let's raise our glasses and wish, To more dreams and vows to accomplish. With steadfastness we shall progress and harness The magic awaiting inside of us. It is all inside us, everything we will ever need, To embark on the journey of life we want to lead. Highs and lows may come and go, But we will try to overcome them and grow. With every passing year our strength will become greater And it will only get better and better. Every year may have its setbacks And moments we may not get back, But along with it, let's not forget The colourful and sparkling bits we will forever look at. So here's to more laughter and celebrations And letting go of all our past frustrations; Let's heartfully welcome this new year, Wishing nothing but the best for our near and dear.
