Day 18 - R for Rhythm, R for Rhyme!

Rhythm and rhyme!
Rummaging through the thoughts,
Running in the mind!
Rhythm and rhyme,
Like a ray of light,
Illuminating restless visions!
Like a river running through the woods,
Creating ripples of inspirations,
Rediscovering the many hues
Of creating and recreating!
Rhythm and rhyme,
Resting in one another's arms,
Recording recurring hopes.
Refining ideas.
Refreshing, reforming, rejuvenating,
The many feigned verses,
And rhapsodies of love.
Rhythm and rhyme -
Real bliss to the mind's eye,
Remarkably relaxing the soul
Repairing the many bludgeoning,
Of Ruthless life.

Day 17 - Q for Quiet!

Quietly, without a sound,
Without a Quiver!
Quaintly conquering,
Quickly capturing!
Quiet swiftly!
Quietly!
Your thoughts,
Sprout in my heart!
Quietly, quaking my world!
Quipping about your innocence,
Quitting to admit,
But -Your every quality
Qualifies my life as blissful!
Queen of my heart,
Quench my thirst for your love!
Quietly, quit tormenting me
With this distance!
Quote me on this -
My life resonates in the melody
Of your quietness.

Day 16 - P for Parenting.

Parenting is probably the most influential aspect of a human being's life. Parents mold or scar their kids with their parenting choices. When on the wrong side of thirty, I'd finally mapped most of my thought process and personality to my childhood and the influence of my parents. The most I see in my day to day life is the fellow parents at my kid's school. Each one unique, with their exceptional strong points. I observe all the parenting techniques around me, probably because I am sub consciously aware of the impact of my every word and action on my child. I read parenting horror stories, come across some reckless parenting choices and wonder if  parenting should be indeed licensed like one of my learned friends opined in a social discussion. Children are all reflections of God they say - but parents are the ones who obliterate those reflection and replace it with their own. There is a lot that goes into raising a child - patience, love, responsibility and sacrifice. Having the biological ability to produce children shall not make a parent a parent. It is the ability to understand the impact they make on their off springs with their every thought, word and action that counts into the tough art of parenting. Whether we choose to spoil our kids or raise them like soldiers, we do leave our footprints on their psyche for the rest of their lives. I wish every person who produces a kid realizes this fact! Parents can really make the world a better place by doing their jobs sincerely. 

Day 15 - O for Opinions.

Opinions,
Opting to  condemn
Other's point of view.
Obsessing with one's own options!
Often omitting our flaws.
Onslaught of attacks,
Overflowing with prejudice,
Overlooking the positives in others - as
Ordinary, or overrated.
Opinions, like outbreaks,
Outlets to our frustrations,
Or narrow outlooks.
Opinions - self centered,
Overwhelmingly rigid!
Opposing things we won't approve,
One track thinking that,
Our way is the right way!
Offensive, odd, Obstructions
Of empathy!
Obstinate, outrageous,
Obtrusions of openness!

Day 14 - N for Nature

Nurturing green fields,
Naughtly sweeping,
Through branches and leaves,
Numbing daily cares
With nifty sceneries,
Nursing worldly wounds
With soothing surroundings!
In Nature's womb,
Lie numerous joys,
Novel bliss,
Never ending happiness!

Day 13 - M for Memories!

Memories, Mingling with the present!
Mighty connections to the past,
Magical, mystical,
Merging into todays,
Mapping the bygone,
Making moments eternal!
Mundane and maddening!
Merry and meaningful,
Melancholic as well!
Memories through meadows of thoughts
Metamorphosis into souvenirs,
Moving our beings,
Like mother's love!
Mosaic of moments,
Grouted with emotions,
Form the memento
On the mantle of the mind.

Day 12 - L for Love

Love! Lend your hand,
Let Love grab it!
Lifting you away gently,
Landing on the clouds.
Love, Let it increase,
Leaps and bounds -
Losing yourself in its longing.
Love! Learn to live,
Lying in its lap.

Day 11 - K for knack!

Kindling hopes,
Kind thoughts,
Keeping positive,
Kneeling to pray!
Knotting hearts
With threads of love,
Knitting dreams,
Knocking off the bad,
Knowledge of things,
Knowing good from evil,
Knack for life, Lies in these.
Kudos to the souls
Who follow this road,
Who kill all vices
And lead their lives!

J for Jealousy - Day 10

We probably experience It as little children, when our parents attend to our siblings or praise a cousin. And then it grows with us, day bay day, slowly and surely! Jealousy is the resident evil of all the vices. As they say, all the deadly sins have some pleasure attached to them, except jealousy! When we are consumed with it, we lose our reason, judgement and peace of mind. We become a torment to ourselves! We spread the torment to the object of our jealousy as well, by making sly or rude remarks. It could be difficult to come to a point where we renounce it completely, but as long as we are making sure that we are not inflicting the wounds on others as well, we can save the world and make it a better place to live for ourselves and the people around us!

Day 9 - I for inspiration.

Inspiration,
Inducing ideas,
In this tiny little mind!
Imparting blessings,
Nudging the heart to create!
Inspiration,
Improves insight,
Into challenges,
Inculcated on daily sights.
Inspiration,
Inviting thoughts,
Increasing intelligence,
Imbibing a power.
Inspiration,
Into the soul of a silly poet,
Sows seeds of imagination,
Inflicting insight
Into Infinite identities,
Adding a new meaning, To existence!

Day 8 - H for happiness

Hopping heartily,
Hovering around smiles,
Heading toward laughter,
Hanging on to hopes,
Healing hurts,
Hushin hidden joys,
Over hindrances.
Happiness delicately
Hangs on in the heart.
Hear it out -
Seek Help,
Happiness, they say
Hails from within,
Honors positives,
Houses hopes,
Hoards hundereds of
Blissful Halos
Hooding disappointments,
Humming Hymns,
High and mighty
Above all emotions.
