Perennial Poetry

Echoes of Goodbye One more taste, Another small bite, A little more longing, For moments going to go by. A sweet picture, A warming hug, A lasting goodbye, We hope neither turns out to be its last. Trunks of memorable belongings, Chunks of treasurable joys, Trails of familiar scents, We bury all of them behind. We hope for upcoming chapters, Yet long to relive some old ones By turning calendars and clocks, To sweet sand timers of the past days. We learn to see love in various forms, In different timelines and spaces; Time and again we call our strength, During times of peace as well as chaos. Time is fleeting, While joys fill in only moments; But memories last a lifetime, For all the seconds gone, passing and yet to arrive. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

Unwritten Pages  I try to refind the lost pieces of me, This mosaic of all broken things Is the raw, unfiltered me, Ready to fly with my wings. I will go to far places, Where the eyes can’t see; I will meet new faces, And share with them the magical me. Life awaits for me In the most precious of ways; All there is to life is to dwell in glee, Despite any circumstance I face. So tiny steps I take, Towards my dreams, And leave it to life to make them come true, By the most wondrous of means. The best is yet to come, Many pages yet to be written, What has happened is just some, There are more moments waiting for me to be smitten. -Jaanvi Veluguleti  

Life’s a Celebration  Life is a big canvas,  Waiting for you to splash colours. Continue to work and have faith regardless, And see life shower you with the prettiest of flowers. Life gets so much better, Once you let go of your worries. Your mind, body and spirit get so much fitter, When you make peace with all of your life’s stories. Life can get miraculously blessed, When you are good intentional; There would be no room for you to be stressed, And life would become much more special. Life is a one time experience, And it’s uniquely yours; Continue to extract its precious essence, And in times of despair, lean on the divine force. May we continue to believe In life’s magical ways of things; May we all have precious moments to relive, And may we strive to be the best of human beings. Life is about celebration, So in its grand scheme of things, May we continue to have revelations, And accept life in all the experiences that it brings. -Jaanvi Veluguleti  

  Lead Your Life ’Tis in your hands To make the best of life; Blessed is where you’ll stand, When you work hard and strive. It doesn’t matter if you fail, You just got to learn from it; In that way, for others, you leave a trail, While gaining wisdom from every bit of it. If you don’t know what to do, Just keep doing good things. Sometimes, that is good enough too, Your goodness will lead you to the great things. Pave way to your dreams Through faith and resilience; As tough as circumstances might sometimes seem, You must continue to stride with persistence.  Live your life as an example, Don’t worry about perfect outcomes; Life becomes more simple, When you accept it as it comes. Keep working, be humble and strive, Despite anything that crops up; One day your dream will come alive, And you will be grateful that you never gave up. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

Life Happens For You🍀 It was around the world tour And I came back to you, I found every piece of me Fit perfectly in the puzzle queue. All the mazes were God’s plan, All the turbulences were lessons in disguise; And I was put through all of it to realise, That I could emerge stronger and more wise. Every dark storm was a painful sight, But I endured each of them with all my might; Every step of my way, I didn’t know if I was doing it right, But I kept going anyway. My only driving force was faith, It still is, and it always will be; Giving me the strength to endure anything That life, with or without warning, throws at me.  After going through the whole ride, And rising like a Phoenix every time, Now I see with my clear eyes, Why everything happened as it did. Life is mysterious yet magical, Might feel difficult and strategical; But realise that you’re supported all the way through, And that the e nd of it all is a better you. - Jaanvi Veluguleti

Pause To Be Present🤍 Switch up your priorities, Fall back into nature’s lap, Stop for a second and realise, That the world is yours to thrive. Set aside your deadlines, Pause all your activities; Sit for a moment in the calmness, Feel the moment’s joy and peace. Just stop the conversation, Be present in the silence; Listen to the Universe’s vibrations, ’Cause you, at that moment, will obtain the wisest solutions. Being present is the key to joy; The silence will give you happiness; ’Cause, you will know what to do, And you’ll be shown the way for you. Feel lucky to take time out for yourself, Societal contribution begins with the self. Dwell in the present and make its best, Just trust the process and forget the rest. Feel the Universe wrapping arms around you, Reminding you, “You are my sole heir, There’s nothing to worry about for you, Just be happy and I’ll do it for you.” Feel the joy in just being, Not doing, but just being here; Right at this moment, feel your heart beating.

🧧 Letter To My Best Friend💛 “My dear best friend, Our friendship is a beautiful tale. Our love will be perennial till the end, It will forever continue to sail. I will remember the care you showed me, In random and in planned ways. I can talk anything with you and be free, Times with you are sunshine-filled days. My short best friend with a lovely smile, And eyes like stars that sparkle so bright. You’re the cutest pal with an admirable sense of style, I’m grateful for your love and your shining light. Moments with you are books of laughter, Fun times, late nights, and crazy talk. Party times were something else altogether, Our friends and we are perfectly fit folk.

Thank you for always being my true friend, Thank you for letting me be yours, Thank you for being a part of my life till the end, Thank you for painti...

  ✨ Magic and Myself⋆ I am a grateful being Born out of Magic dust. Here I'm writing what I'm realising, My power, my purpose that came from the stardust. I used to be an ordinary being from core; Then I discovered my magic blessed by the divine force. Now I don't want anything more, Than to help you discover the abundant share of magic that's yours. Now come again near me, And I will give you some of my Magic, raw and pure; My endless flow of love like the endless sea, Will embrace you to give you the sweetest cure. I cannot wait to turn the tables, To sprinkle my magic wherever I go. My story will be told in history books, tales, and fables, About my heartwarming deeds and my beautiful soul. Maybe I'm an old soul who loves old things; It's magic, so I am not quite sure. Or maybe I'm one with a contemporary heart that sings, Either way, I know I am a pioneer who's pure. My magic lives inside me, It is felt as I walk through the doors. A heart full of go...

🌈 Onset Of Gratitude🙏 Look around for yourself and see, In little things there is happiness. It doesn't matter even if you're weeping under a tree, There is always scope for gratefulness. It is human to have moments of grief and sadness, To feel sorry and to feel helpless. But it is also human to recognise the moments of joy amidst the hopelessness, To heal, and come back stronger from the darkness. It's better than a pill, it is pure magic; One who understands it, will never want for anything ever again. Gratitude is the saviour from the tragic; So be grateful, and you will be saved again, and again, and again. Be thankful that you are how you are, 'Cause mind you, it could've been worse; From reaping the results of gratitude, you are never too far; Just do it and witness the magic of the divine force. Be grateful that you are alive, And blessed to experience this beautiful life. Be thankful every moment, and you'll be assured to thrive; Gratitude is your sec...

  Lingering Landforms  🌲🌳🌴 In the woods, in a faraway land, Untouched by a human's hand, Stand tall, trees that provide the biggest haven, I'm sure you'll call it an Abode in Heaven. 🏜☀🐪🌵 In the distant desert, also termed the land of sand, You may wonder, but it too is a wonderland. Where else would you see the hottest Sun And get to see the Camel and the Cactus and learn? 🌊🌤 On the coastal shore, the blues of Heaven and Earth meet. The Sea's flowing water and the Sky's passing clouds greet, Oh they form the most spectacular hue! And make us admire them as if they are always new. ☁🌄🏔 The hills are calling out to you To see from their highlands a magnificent world view.

Get tempted with the prettiest and the juiciest fruits, And the ...
