Five Micropoems on Love by Jaipreet Grover

VALENTINE

You will be mine

In every Valentine

I promised her heart

With my “Love Sign!”

□

GIFT

Chocolates, gifts, and flowers

Gifts for all lovers

But my precious gift

Cosily resides

In your heart merrily!

□

LOVE RAIN

The month of love

Has come again

To make us drench

In the ”Love Rain”

With an amorous song 

In our youthful lane!

□

STONE Each stone Evinces its story Glitters to allure But the heart could see The rainbow of love In the presence of love stone Rose-Quartz! □

IN LOVE Drown in love With your love As deep as an ocean Sans your identity!

The Offsprings, a Micropoem by Jaipreet Grover

Fruits, flowers and leaves

Being the offsprings of the tree

Falls in the lap of Mother Earth

A tribute of gratitude

For the love and nourishment

Right from loving a seed!

Micropoems by Jaipreet Grover

Pearls
I drank my tears
To hide my pain,
But the ocean of tears 
overflows the heart
To activate the soul
Made pearls of lessons
To buckle up for a beautiful beginning!
□

Thorns
I tried to uproot
Thorns of pain
From the garden of my heart
But the flower of love said,
Touch me not!
□

Heartbeats
My heartbeats
Fast with fear
Faster with a strenuous workout
And fastest
With your one glimpse!

Micropoems on Light

● Jyotirmaya Thakur [United Kingdom]

I stood and watched

The day unfold in morning light

Like petals of a flower

Pushed by wind power!

☆

Twilight caught the breeze

As Sun was setting

On the wings of birds

The light was sleeping

Leaving the sandy shores behind!

☆

● Mir Samsul Haque [India] 

I'm ablaze sulkily for thousand twilight's

Her scarce arrival puts me in the ignition of fiercely flame

Oh, luminous luna you may cognize the pinches of my heart

You aflame all alone on the azure veil 

Be a witness of my lonely griefs!

☆

● Lilian Woo [Malaysia] 

Glorious morning 

The sun flashes vibrant light

Brighten up the day 

The glow of blooming blossoms 

Is emitting sweet fragrance. 

[Tanka: 5-7-5-7-7]

☆

crimson rays of light 

let it shine, light up your life 

bless with happiness.

[Haiku: 5-7-5]

☆

● Ranjana Kashyap [India]

It's a bright waking night! 

Tonight is the festival of lamps, 

The sky is showering the stars, 

But I was unaware ; 

One day for us in the pavement of my heart, 

So many lamps of love will light up, 

One day life will be so bright with your love, 

I was so unaware of this!

● Jaipreet Grover [India] 

Seen or unseen

Illuminates with celestial rays

The power of phosporescent inner light

Is bestowed by the divine light

To enlighten your True Self

Just use it wise! 

☆

● Nishat Jabeen [Saudi Arabia]

My truth is in the clasp of gloomy despair 

O' Lord of the all Heavens pass a command to the universal lamp

Sprinkle a little more twinkles

And shimmer not just to the dusky countenance

But enlighten to my shadowy existence.

☆

● Jyoti Nair [India] 

Sugar maples scamper into our porticos, 

drenched in orange-ostentatious conundrums, 

ambling through our variegated lives... 

our lives; these anagrams of 'abendrot' vine-longings! 

[ *Abendrot, is a German word; it means evening red, sunset glow, sunset-light, purple light, afterglow, sunset.]

☆

● Maid Corbic [Bosnia and Herzegovina] 

Lightness into the darkness place

Nature brings always new emotions

Which take this place full of charm

And nobody can say that it is illusion

Since we live into the present stage!

☆

● Sumil Sharma [India] 

In my darkest sleepless nights

Her touch gives me the courage to see the light

To stand against the fear and fight

Through the gloomy night

And finally see the sight of the light

A Mother's Touch, the perpetual might.

The Tiger, A Micropoem by Jaipreet Grover

I was just a common tiger

Desire to gulp you

For years absorbed in penance

But, you freed me

Made me your vehicle

My head bows for Goddess Durga, fervently for you!

Five Questionku by Jaipreet Grover

She runs the world

Gives birth to all lives

Why does she need to prove?

□

Move with one step

At a time in life

Why to rush for success?

□

Kids are angels

Lit up every home

Do we need just a son?

□

Nature blossoms

Give treasures sans break

What’s your contribution?

□

Flashy is smart

Makes castles atop

Why for sleep comfort tops?

□

Twinkling bright stars
Beautifies the sky
Then why wish for their fall?

Micropoems by Jaipreet Grover

Sparkling Eyes

My sparkling eyes -

Speaks a lot

Giving wings to my dreams

To fly high in the infinite sky;

And I embellish them

With the shiny black kohl

To hide fears of uncertainty!

□

Chain of Happiness

Let’s make a chain,

To break the chain 

of worries and melancholy,

By adding the pearls 

of joy and zeal,

In the infinite

Chain of Happiness!

□

'Real Me'

Don’t judge only

my poems solely,

Judge my scuffles 

and the strenuous journey,

Before making 

any perception about me.

Before judging

You should know 

'Real Me'.

□

Invisible Power 

His invisible power

propels me to believe 

in the pious prayer,

As I see miracles 

every day

to the ones who 

sows the seeds of humanity

every day!
