N for Nostalgia & Nascent Life

N is for Nostalgia and I'm linking one of my poems from 2009 on the theme NOSTALGIA.

But for this A to Z challenge I take another theme - Nascent Life and here it goes:

Nostalgia

Nascent Life

Eyes closed and calm,

Mind pasturing abound,

Treading memory lanes,

Living life over again

Moving back in age,

From work to play,

Growing adult to young,

Cherishing all relation

Moments of Agony,

And hours of Fun,

Sharing and holding,

From one to many.

Day by day, again & again,

Learnings to Wisdom

In the life lone nascent

Mystery unfolds way.

M for Mother & Mother's Q...

The first word that comes to mind with M is Mummy - Mamma - Mother - Ma. I have earlier written poems as tribute to this novel creator of world and the link to two of them are as below.

Now for this A to Z challenge it is Mumma's quandary ....... For the Mother a daughter is her best friend and so is the mother for the Girl child. And this poem tries to portray Mumma's dilemma as she grows old .....

 Mom and Babe - Thanks to Thou

        

Mother - An Epitome of Sacrifice

         

Mother’s Q……

Close to my heart,

Wrapped in my arms,

You opened your eyes,

Glistened eyes mine,

Counting thy fingers,

Tenderly surfing with care,

Your heart beat Soft

Thumped with mine,

There came your cry,

For all your needs,

Satiating all your wish,

I felt saintly blissed.

Tomorrow when I grow old,

And nobody stands close,

My cries would be in silence,

My Angel would you hold me close?

Loosening the clasp,

You paced nascent step,

Balancing Steps to Stride,

And to wings of freedom,

Cautiously I watched,

Shielding and sculpting,

Carpeting your path,

Letting the doors open,

You held your head high,

Scaled new Horizon,

With every success of yours,

My heart swelled in pride.

Tomorrow when my limbs go frail,

And my eyes draw hollow,

Longing to soar I wail,

My Angel would you hold me tight?

All through the night's dark,

To dispel Clouds roar and bark,

Awake I lay by your side,

Sang songs and read tales,

In hours of angst,

Or on days you were sick,

My heart sank, I felt low,

I prayed forever giving pills.

Now you have him to share all,

Lay by your side, caress warm,

You would grow dawn as mom,

I will ever-cherish you growing along.

Tomorrow when my intellect die,

Nothing recollects, draw a blank,

Lost aloof I try to evoke  futile,

My Angel would you lead me close?

G for Grandeur Lost

Whenever it comes for poetry - the first one that come to mind is 
                                                                                                     

Gaduating to &..

that I wrote last year as a tribute to a woman who has developed herself with time into a multi functional force of the family. 

However for my A to Z challenge another take is on the theme Grandeur Lost

Worn wooden gate,

With dust overladen,

And hinges junked broken,

Barely stood to protect,

I pushed screeching open,

The dust spread around,

Formless stood the walls,

With barren pasture in front,

In the centre still stood strong,  
The mammoth Mango tree,

With trunks spread around,

As trying to gather all,

But now bare and alone,

With no leaves to shade,

Nor full of mangoes luring,

Or the buds to rejuvenate,

My eyes run moist,

Heart stop to breathe,

Where once lives flocked,

Today languished for life. 

Frail & bleak it gazed ,
Reasoning treasures of life,

Why to give gene glamour,
Grandeur of past stand lost.

Woman - The living Deity

The living Deity! Revered thou art!

From ages past, till the hours existent,

From early men to sages and sovereign,   

In epics old to the holy books behold,

All announce and revere thou along,

For thou art divined to run the world till eternity.

You make the world a perpetual living,

Christening Mother, an eternity caring,

Chirping toddler or as woman young,  

The Angel divine to a sister sharing fun, 

As friend you stand with hand in hand,

As wife you get entwined to live life long.

Soft you stay to nurture the tot,

Tough you turn to behold all lot,

Shoulder all burden in moments of need,

Trounce you crush, for crush to peak,

Kid you stay for your parent life long,

Yet en-womb progeny to life prolong. 

A shoulder you too need at times tough,

Yet your hug makes ease all life rough,

Fragile you stay as submission you love,

For family, friend, even foes with dove,

But resilient you turn with vengeance to curb,

If modesty robbed, character questioned.

Thus thou art Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh,

Christened by Almighty, as creator in living,

Through stages of life, autumn or spring,

To make life, nurture or even end the string,

Vow thus we must! with a selfish wish,

To shield thou, The Deity living, from Worlds’ all evil weaving.

SOULMATE

SOULMATE

In the journey of life divined,

As tides of time get left behind,

Individuals abound cross and meet,

Shoulder some, hold hands or tweet,

Create, develop, christian relations,

Parental, Societal, Nuptial or Eternal

I learn to reason relationships all,

And stay along, give them name.

Left behind is still one mate,

None the name, whom portray ornate,

Not only friend, kith or kin,

Separate apart still entwined,

Near or far, the essence is all,

For heart to throb, eyes gleam,

In your presence I feel elite,

Lost if you are I get deplete.

Somewhere in Heaven we were made,

To stay apart, not cross and meet,

With world separate as river banks,

Move along, parallel perpetual,

To complement each carry along,

Care, cajole, craft, comprehend,

You make me, make me complete.

A relation thus surreal, my Soul-mate.
