Awaiting an Epiphany

A few words before going through the poem

This poem has been a silent witness to both weal and woe in every human life. That drove the speaker persona to act like a pendulum, oscillating between hope and despair. Hope, you all enjoy the humble poem.


The poem : 'Awaiting an Epiphany'

The sunbeams seem to wane;

Hope becomes too scanty;

Life seems to be a blind lane;

There lingers just van'ty.


I try to catch a straw,

In spite of every dreary dread;

There’s no peace; there’s no law;

Before my demise, I’ve been dead.


The more the days fly away,

The more unknown the faces are;

I sing on my lonesome lay

In the pursuit to be a star.


Sometimes, myself do I console,

“Let this life move on fast.”

There’ll be none for me to condole,

When I do breathe my last.


How uncanny life has been!

The brevity, sometimes, does pain;

Moments of love are left unseen;

Will I never find them again?


Thus, we pine our time away,

Thinking of what’s been lost;

‘Today’ will become ‘yesterday’;

Let the sunbeams light up the frost.

The Month of Pride

Introduction to the poem The poem is fundamentally composed to glorify human bond and love all over the world irrespective of any race, any sex, any other category. Love is such a thread that binds all together. In this poem, I have tried to glorify the right of the lesbians, gays and so on. We look down upon them sometimes. Still, they are also flesh-and-blood human beings like any of us. Am I right? The poem-- "The Month of Pride" No need of shame, But right to pride; For all, love's not a game; It's the month of pride. I may be a gay; I may be a lesbian; People have nothing to say That I am a plebeian. We too are human; We too have right; I too am a clan To shine extrabright. The continent we complete; None can live as an island; The social standards might not meet Our love and point of stand. At us, do you frown; Still, we'll establish the right; Our love we won't drown, Thoug...

The Truth

The poem --"The Truth" The truth is firm; It is always holy; It does never harm, But, is really Too pure To be neglected; So, get sure To be respected, By respecting others, And loving all as sisters and brothers. The truth is the power; It is inevitable; One can’t be a coward, If one is true and noble. Try to love all, By listening to Nature’s call; Don’t dishearten any, Not to receive woe from many In your future As thousands of preying vultures At a stage; Get relief from this haze. You may belong to another world, But your fantasy must be true; It may not be real in word, But must be true, according to you. Just interrogate yourself whether You yourself can be the master Of Truth, Meekness and Purity, And also Faith, Hope and Charity. The keywords to the poem Poem, truth, firm, holy, harm, pure, neglected, sure, respec...

Shreya

The story - "Shreya" Shreya got admitted to a new school at the age of eleven, under the stress of her tyrannical father and the rest of the strain was provided to her by her beloved grandfather. However, her prolonged touch with the old institute was much approved by her loving ‘Mom’ and her sweet ‘Granny’, though, every time they tried heart and soul to pursue her interest, the horrid thought of having no personal income and the scary notion of being two persecuted housewives served as the catalysts to darken the nightmares of these three ill-fated female members of the patriarchal family even more. Still, the eleven-year-old girl did never give up finding out some silver linings in her future life. In spite of that, she had to surrender to her destiny with some robust efforts to try her luck in the obscure land of unknown visages of new fellow-mates along with the new teachers.  Most miraculously, Shreya stood first in ...
