Perennial Poetry

Clearer Skies How far have I come From the scary nights To these starry skies And this magical glow? It feels like a decade past The bruises of the cold and the hot; Never had I fathomed That I’d suffer such a blow. They say “pain’s inevitable  But suffering’s optional”; But I didn’t know it, so I endured; And now I only see daylight ahead. Divine light encapsulates me, And the past feels far away; Leaving behind the less better days,  Now I go on, thoroughly done and dusted. Fresh air waits for me, And flowers greet me with their bloom; Wonder and joy embrace me once again, As I walk towards bliss with my hands free. -Jaanvi Veluguleti

  Precious People💎 Treasure those people Who are gifted to you in life; Listen to the voice that is feeble, Whispering the words of the wise. God bless the beings Who are there for each other; Setting apart their life’s proceedings, They are present for another. God helps you through them In moments of despair; God makes you shine again ’cause of them, ’Cause they’re there and they always care. The ones who help us selflessly, Without asking for anything in return; The ones who reach out when we’re crying helplessly, Are the ones worth being valued a ton. In a world where genuineness is in dearth, It is comforting to see selfless people; They are unspoken gems on this earth, Always being there and helping us be stable. Lucky are those who have such people, cause they’re rare; I feel blessed to have mine in my life; The gems in my life know who they are, I am grateful for always having them by my side. They tell me when I go wrong, They always have the best intentions for me, They ...

  ❄️ 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 Sky Shades Have you ever been overjoyed to look At the different facets of the sky? Oh, what question have I asked? Whenever hasn’t the sky ceased to amaze us? Mighty light blue sky, you’re seemingly so vast; You’re classically handsome; The clouds look the best on you, You’re a charming one, ask anyone, they’ll say it’s true. Orange sky, my bright, vibrant sky, You set the perfect stage for the Sun show; You are what my dreams are made of, And your warm friends, yellow and red add in their hues too. Dark grey sky, you are eerily dramatic; I could make up a gloomy story Just looking at you; I admire you for Giving me all the forlorn feels, for the drama I need. Purple sky, you are my favourite, You’re straight out of a fairytale; You’re the colour of magical illusions, You are the prettiest one I say. Navy blue sky, or the dark night sky, It’s like the Moon and the Stars were made just for you; You are the big blank canvas adorning these beauties, You bring in all the calmness and ...
