Perennial Poetry

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. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

As I Dream, So I Am I am like the ocean bed, Where the water flows over me; But I tend to stay the same, Unchanged, unfazed, and unbiased. I am like the mountains, I stand tall, well I’m strong after all; I might be the mightiest of ’em all, Yet I still house the littlest of ’em all. I am like the woods, As deep as depth can go, as beautiful as beauty can be; I have what it takes to survive it all, ’Cause even when I shed off, I still spring back up. I am like the sky, Vast in my heart; standing as an endless canvas, Waiting to be painted with the brightest colours, The prettiest sight you would ever see. I am like the wind, Swift in my swag, eager to go places; Supporting life as I go around, Whilst enjoying my freedom, all by myself. I am like that quiet hill station, you see; Where you’ll find the solace you yearn for; I am quiet and pleasant, and full of life, Come, I’ll bring the peace you’re looking for. Well, I am whatever I wish to be, As beautiful as I desire to be, As genuine...

Discovering Destinations🌄 Universe! Show me those places, Where no one has been before, Tell me, ’cause I want to explore, Are there still places humans have not touched? Let me leave everything and get on A magical journey to a land newfound; Then pause there, and let the beauty sink in; Feel in my veins, the pureness and the calmness of the wonder therein. It’s so gratifying to realise that There are places the world wants me to see; Asking me to unlock the gates, Then get in, and run, rent-free. I feel a welcome fuelled by warmth, By the elements of these spaces; Seeing these places, I revel in awe, That there’s no dearth in nature whatsoever. I think that lucky are those, Wise enough to relish such explorations; And experience the nature firsthand, What it’s like to be where no one has stepped before. There are always places no one’s been to before, Wait till you visit them, then you’ll be sure. You most certainly will be dazzled too, Thinking, “What took me so long to come to you...
