Midnight Mirth

 

Magical moon, stars silver dust ,

On forest of bountiful pink flowers,

It's a fairyland midnight mirth,

 Love dominates in mighty showers.

 

Valentine moon in love with night,

Stars shimmering with delight,

Sky royal blue reflecting light,

Symphony of cupid burning bright.

 

Sonorous stream dancing in tune,

Pebbles and boulders drums resume,

Fairies singing on luminous moon,

Tall trees cheering is an endless boon.

 

Writers and poets in darkness bloom ,

Penning their thoughts in black or blue ,

Revolutions begin to dawn in gloom ,

Midnight moments provide many clues.

 

Melody of life in passionate vision,

Mountain dews blue eyed hope,

Journey of night will soulmates unite,

Restless in love wise Nature survives.

 

 

Moonlit Night

 

Peeping Moon like a diamond shines,

Surrounded by sapphire clouds,

Like a glowing bride lifting her veil,

A lonely boat on sea without sail.

 

An artistic creation of such glitter,

 A dreamland of vision matters ,

 Billion stars hidden beneath cover,

Blinding eyesight without shutters.

 

As the full moon shimmers in the river,

 Reflections of ripples in joy shiver,

Blue clouds join hands to see,

As the moon smiles proudly in glee.

 

Happiness scattered on the scene ,

Dark shores around a shining stream,   

 Rocks shout out in silent screams,

As sands roll out rolling dreams.

 

Harsh winds quietly put to sleep,

Dancing in the cool summer breeze,

Romantic sky blushes in lover's sight,

Prolongs the solitude of moonlit night.

 

 

Night Surrenders

 

The night surrenders in significant shifts ,

I stare nonchalantly at burning lights of streets,

Indigo sky with midnight sober and sweet,

Resplendent Moon restores golden dreams .

 

Street lights play hide and seek in disguise,

Till sensors retreat to welcome the day ride,

Dark creatures mingle and sneak with delight ,

Wise souls contemplate the dark midnight.

 

Nature yawns in its cosy bed to fight,

Existence restored its energy in dark night,

Birds close their wings till dawn's flight ,

Blank palette is awaiting colours on white.

 

Darkness stoops on its knees in dignity,

The wild wind is calm in solitary serenity,

Roads soon burdened by steps of humanity,

Desolation of night will choose popularity.

 

The night weeps in penitent repentance,

The celestial orbs replace seats in silence,

Wordless lanterns glowing ordinance,

Daylight redeeming a full night salvation.

 

JYOTIRMAYA THAKUR

 

JYOTIRMAYA THAKUR is an internationally renowned poet and writer of twenty-three books. She has won numerous awards, for both her literature and humanitarian efforts. She exemplifies the ideal that writing is more than just words on paper, it is a means of creating positive change in the world. She started writing when she was seven , singing the lyrics in her lonely moments to trees and fauna .As a writer she has not been satisfied to settle on just one style, but has sought to develop her craft by adoption and mastery of an ever increasing number of techniques. From her early days utilising the predominant rhyming couplet in her poetry, there has been an evolution in writing technique incorporating more complex rhyming patterns, modern freestyle and prose. This development of craft serves as an important lesson for new poets, that a good writer is not a static entity, but someone who should continually strive to learn new ways of communicating their meaning in order to avoid stylistic stagnancy.
