By Reshma G.V.S.
I used to sketch the ocean's sway,
My fingers danced with every spray,
Sketching dreams on quiet days,
Where joy found life in simple ways.
The pages once were friends of mine,
Poetry poured like endless wine,
Stories spun with morning light,
Where every word just felt so right.
I miss the girl who’d spend her days,
In novels, lost in mystic haze,
Watching dramas light the screen,
Where every scene felt like a dream.
Now I walk a different road,
In halls where numbers bear the load,
I solve, I think, I push, I strive,
To meet the world’s demands and thrive.
But in this race, I've left behind
The carefree spark, the untamed mind
That bubbly girl who used to laugh,
Now only whispers in the past.
It’s not that I don’t love the now,
I’ve made my peace, I’ve learned the how,
But deep inside, I miss the thrill
Of simply living, breathing still.
Yet here by the ocean, where the gentle waves sigh,
I spill my silent tears as the sun melts from the sky.
With each word I write, I feel her spirit near,
The girl I thought lost now whispers, "I’m here."
The precision of language is truely impressive. Very proud of you Reshu.Keep rocking!!
Hi Reshu,
Your poetry is beautiful! Reminds me of John Keats’ romantic poetry and Wordsworth’s love for nature! Your vivid imagery, sensuous language, deep reverence for nature and emotional expression are simply superb! No doubt, you will become an internationally renowned poet! Inherited your Tata’s command over language!
Interesting write up, well compiled lines.
That line about ‘whispers in the past’ …it stayed with me. You’ve written something achingly beautiful
