Three Micropoems on Love by Jyotirmaya Thakur

OVER AND OVER
Outside the snow fell
Blue in the moonlight
Our love floating on feathers
Music plays in my head
Over and over.

WORTH LIVING
Simple pleasure of being
Makes my heart beat
Like smell of a flower
When you touch me 
My world turns upside down
And makes it worth living.

LOVE WILL MEET
Companions in the heart
Strangers in the street
Seeking each others eyes
One day our love will meet.

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.

Three Micropoems by Jyotirmaya Thakur

The Key 
All we love is turned to ashes 
Dead flowers tied with indigo 
Shimmering alone in the tree 
Is the key to my heart.
Quest 
I don't see you 
And you never see me 
Until we take to the sky 
Where the view is best 
The moon and stars 
Enlighten our quest. 
Test 
We are souls on a journey 
Life is our test 
Till our weary souls 
Take a brief rest
In Heaven or Hell.

Micropoems by Jyotirmaya Thakur

Disillusion 
Along sidewalk loners crave
A white butterfly flies in wonder
In peace safely surrenders
Coffee is in the air 
Cobwebs drops on the hair 
Confusion turns to disillusion!
August Stars
The sky is full of beauty 
With August stars falling 
Wishes fly in rows 
End of Summer days 
Calm surface of lake 
Absorbs the twilight rays!
□ 
Display 
Taste of morning tea 
With dawn in delicate rays
Through icicles transparent 
Artistry of snow 
on display!
Gray
Looming laden clouds
Blanket the bustling streets
And storms paint the sky
Black skyscrapers scratch
At something beyond the gray!
Martyrdom 
As white flakes drift down
Thousands of faces
Turning to the Sun 
A minute’s silence
For martyrdom in vain 
The wind also dies!
Forest Shudders 
The forest shudders 
Watching bear cubs 
Walking through the glen 
Hunting season has begun
 Poachers prowling 
The monsoon rain sweeps 
Through trees tossing!
Unsafe 
Wisteria bloom in waves 
While she waits in a cafe 
With wandering thoughts unsafe 
Unrehearsed for the first date .
