Unwoven Dawns

Completion — was just what has always been aimed for.
Though paths went on, dwellings were always onshore.
A desire to perfect things beyond perfection,
Was stitched into every sweater in her collection.

The winter that existed once, is nowhere to be seen,
Every cashmere strand there, still preserved, holds its sheen.
They smell of fresh sea and lavender of the yesteryears,
Treasured in the oak chest of drawers, in neat tiers.

The spring now— jubilant in bursts of blossoms and blooms,
Dances to tunes of velvet and songs of colorful plumes.
But there's still a teal scarf for the yellow-scented autumn breeze,
Left imperfect (knowingly unfinished) for the salt of distant seas.

The unwoven thread has been a solace for the breathing heart,
In aches of unendings, beats promise of a dawning start.

Something New

I wonder what is new
The sun still shines with all its hue
And so the moon has been too

The sky still has the clouds
And the tints of blue
The air has the aroma
And the redolent memories too

Still melodious are voices of waves
And the canary's coo
The buzz of the bees
And the flowing drapes too

I smile the same
But the feelings are new
My heart keeps singing
But it needs not a cue

I know something has changed
But I do not have a clue
Oh, how I wish... if only I knew!

Love

Love, Oh dear Love!
Enchanted by your gaze, my spirits lifted
Enamored by the sound of your smile
Drawn by dawn, I drifted..

Over the glorious mountains,
Near the harbours and the seas, I witnessed
Golden whiffs of sunshine on
Water droplets carried through the breeze.

Oceans of clouds with rainbows laced
On opulence of your innocent charms, my heart raced
Keeping you in my thoughts..Forever..Stay blessed!

The Peeking Sunrays

Looking at the horizon
Among the many things I think
Is the thought of you
Glimmering through the chink

The peeking sunrays
Through the trees
From beyond the mountains
And in the voices of the breeze

I wonder
What does the rays desire
What is it here now
That they require

The one desired 
May cherish the rays
Yet withold, till eternity
And beyond the days

Seeks through days, the rays of sun
And desired, for just the one.

Interlaced Scents

The tinge of twilight, 
Brushed through the reminiscing breeze, 
Spelled of the rose's transcendence, 
And scents interlaced in yester soirees. 

The dusk spelled of the divine amour, 
Entranced in hues of gold, 
Words so precious..pledged till eternity, 
Laced with ardor, lo and behold!

The evening breathed sweet nothings,
Luxuriously with a silky essence, 
A dreamy heart wished for chocolate,
Magnificent fervor, entwined with redolence. 

The depth of night whispered into the calm,
Magic of music and enchantment of stars,
Holding on to plushies, avowed the tales,
Of perfumed memories and untold memoirs.

The dawn enlivened the horizon, 
Gloried in hope and dressed in joyous attire, 
A golden vow etched till eternity, 
Braided in the aroma of endearing desire. 

The noon blazoned the transpiring moments,
With sanguine aspiration and mirth, 
Proclaimed with love, the kiss of faith, 
Adorned the celestial rays on earth.

The smile of the afternoon sun, 
Spanned the cosmos with joy and elation,
Warmth of the embrace said it all, 
Of desired scents that charm and enthrall.

The Desire

The desire....
To fly, soaring across the limitless sky,
To explore, and be lost in the beautiful bay,
To dream, and think across the brae,
Oh! The desire.....
To be and still not be; anyway!

The Fragrance

Breathe the fragrance in the zephyr
And feel the kiss of sunshine
The silkiness and warmth
For eternity, cherish and enshrine.

Ek Tamanna




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Little Something:
Normally, I never rethink before posting any writing of mine. However, the case was different for this piece of poem, if I may call it so. The first draft for this poem took very very less time and I was all excited to post it but, as I was in the process of uploading it, I thought, may be it's not what I wanted it to be. At that point of time, I thought, I would better ask somebody else to read it first and comment on it. Upon asking two of my closest friends, Subhra and Prajna, they gave their constructive criticism and feedback on the poem. Keeping in view of their suggestions, I added few lines to the first draft and came up with this second and hopefully final version of the poem.

Thanks a lot Subhra for reviewing my naive poem, encouraging me and for everything.
Thanks Prajna for reading it, for the feedback and for understanding the essence of it.

About Me

Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
