The Ring !

The Ring!



With hugs of joy,
Promise of a love lasting a lifetime,
A million dollar smile,
The two souls tied a knot in a union divine.
To spend a life of love, health and passion.
But the tides of time can turn in a blink of an eye !

On an unforgiving stormy night,
Disaster struck with might.
As sailing in an ocean serene,
Their sailboat capsized!

The lovers were justified
In pledging faithfulness after death, as in life.
As the damsel petite frightened, quivered all night.
Drenching wet the young man stood bold.
In adversity taking a firm hold.
Swimming with his beloved, he drifted ashore.

The unfamiliar island, wet, and cold.
Distraught, the young man fought
To keep warm his beloved and her spirit buoyant yet calm.
He wrapped his arms around her neck in a RING !

There the rescue boat found them in the morn,
Two angels, unconscious, serene.
Arms wrapped tightly around each other’s neck
Forming inseparable loops of life, their RINGS of Love and Security !

    A poem depicting true love , platonic love.The diction is very apt.The poem depicts that the two lovers were one in life and they refused to b separated in death.

Morning Twilight

Morning twilight Being with the universe is a rare gift, Reserved for those that do not drift. Dare to rise before the morning light, At the dawn twilight. Before the sun rises up in the sky, To share in unique a joy. Watch the mixing of colours, On the horizon’s canvas. As the nature paints, A sensational scenery in grey, black and white, Dawdling its brush in scattered orange sunlight. Deft brush strokes pulling out some blue, From the sky to add a purple hue. Quite a visual treat it is, To see the Master paint His masterpiece! See that orange colour, Form a hint of a semicircle where heaven and earth meet each other ! See the birds leave their cozy nests, Riding on the cloudy crest. Adding sound to the vision so far created, To an emotional experience early riser is treated. Chirping and singing such natural music, Scenery just got more attractive ! Now the breathing movements get added, From the trees that open up their branches. Creating silhouettes s

The Mummy !

The Mummy Thousands of years In the twilight of history, A knight galloped Across the territory. Over the hills Across the desert, To woo a dame A beauty, to treasure. Many a mile he covered For many a day, To reach the castle The goal of his way. The hour was of twilight Exhaustion, slight Wonderstruck he stood Anticipating the sight. Darkness fell all around, The knight stood still... lost in reverie. Of the eyes he thought The musical laughter, The childish games The leaking shelter. A swift command to the horse With joy in his heart, Paraded ahead And gave a start. Amongst the ruins Of carved slate and stone, Rose a tomb On which an inscription shone; “In the memory of all those Who laid their lives To a fury Heaven had never unleashed before.” Shrieking like a madman He entered the tomb, And gazed at the corner Where a red bud bloomed. Pitchers and pots Antiques and dreams, Shining jewels And craftsmen’s seams. He stood like a

The Racehorse !

The Racehorse ! The gallant stallion, Stands his ground. He huffs and puffs, Courage abound. He gauges the distance, While he canters around. Then changes his stance, To a gallop resound. Charges ahead, Other horses he astounds. His neck moves like a wave up and down, Jockey in the stirrup stands, to help gain ground. Stallion covers such a distance, Even the jockey confounds. Leaving the grandstand spectators, All dumbfound. He gallops till the racetrack he can lead, Opponents with their Jockeys pick up speed ! With bridled precision our stallion sped, Oh ! such a thoroughbred. To think this is his first race, No frown on his forehead can one trace. From gate to the flag, Not missing a beat. The crowds cheer this Mighty beast ! Dr. Guncha Gupta 1/5/2019
