State-of-the-art " Poetry of the day "

After a long time few lines on love , love in Robert Fulghum's words " I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."

I tried to run away
I tried to shun
The feelings so strong
So that I could  restraint my heart
Before it got dismayed
Feel weak in its knees
If I let free the door
That leads to my heart
My heart that sleeps in the darkness
Detached from the other souls

My spiritual guide
Came in my way
Took me in it's arms
Spoke to me while I frowned
Gave me a piece of advice
And said " Open your arms
Welcome the sun ,before it goes down
Because healing your heart will be an arduous job
Life is full of surprises
Open the door that has sored"


I persuaded my heart
That lay deep in the dark
I tried to refute
And tried to prove "The fears are all false"
I convinced my heart to open the door
To this new visitor's knock
Who whispered to my soul
"I can communicate with the chimes
Which lie hushed up within thine
And can make them play the melody
If I you allow me in and open the door "

The welcome smile on my face
I can't hide I have failed
His arrival to grace my life
Is true
But with time I shall be able to say
The unique visitor in my life
Was conventional
Or is a state-of-the-art
Who  had a fake smile
Or is still adorned by the walls of my heart.

' Featured " at HubPages but to get picked up for "The Editor's Choice " one has to qualify the set criteria , which is  not an easy task . It takes good 4 hours to get to the " published " level  and if the post has slightest of error or poor content it remains  pending for approval till it's edited to meet the minimum standard maintained by the HubPages , in simple words you have to quality content to be published on Hub Pages lowest level and reaching the top certainly is like  a feather in the hat !

Here's the link to my post " Poetry of The Day -Struggle for Survival " It's  inspirational poetry and my inspiration behind writing this post was none other than Father of the Nation , Mahatma Gandhi's famous quote , here  is the link to "Live like you were to die  tomorrow,learn like there's no tomorrow" followed by the criteria to make it to Editor's Choice copy pasted below  .Please do press the like button or leave a comment good, bad or ugly just let me know that you were there !  #Quote   #writingpoetry #MahatmaGandhi  #HubPages

                                                                Editor's Choice Hubs


Editor's Choice Hubs are Hubs that readers enjoy and are hand selected by HubPages Editors. Hubs provide value in unique ways. Our Editors consider many elements when making the Editor's Choice selections (from how well written the Hub is to if we have already selected a similar piece.) Good Hubbers should expect some, but not all, of their Hubs to be selected. We will be using a variety of measures to assess your Hubs, but ultimately Hubs on HubPages.com will be editor approved; hence the name Editor’s Choice.

Here's how it works:
Only a very small percentage of Hubs will be selected; don’t be disappointed if most of your Featured Hubs are not Editor’s Choice Hubs. All Featured Hubs that aren’t Editor’s Choice Hubs will remain on your subdomain.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will be phased in slowly over the next few weeks. It will take us time to get through all of the potential candidates, so please be patient with us.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will receive greater social exposure on HubPages’ social media profiles.
Being Featured is a basic prerequisite to becoming an Editor’s Choice Hub, but there are many more factors that candidates are evaluated on, e.g., uniqueness, quality, engagement, intent, a good search experience for the reader, and whether the content is trustworthy, reputable, and authoritative.
Hubs that lose their Featured status will also lose their Editor’s Choice status.
An opt-out option is available in My Account > Profile > Edit Profile. However, each time you toggle this setting, you will need to wait 60 days before you can do so again. You can only opt-out at the account level, not on a Hub by Hub basis.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will not lose their status if they are edited; in fact, we recommend regularly editing and improving your Hubs.
The Editor’s Choice status is not necessarily permanent. At any given time, only a small percentage of Hubs will be designated Editor’s Choice.
An Editor’s Choice accolade is in the works!

Rings Of Smoke

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity. #Yoko Ono

My wings were on fire
But I couldn't see the flames
Walking down on the streets
Unable to hear the sound of its footfall
I walked in the shadow of smokey rings
And  I thought
 " Its going to rain "
I didn't know
" Who could I ask "
If the showers were real
Or  they are fake


On a beautiful day
When I thought
It's time to walk away
From the " Rings of Power "
With the only thought
" I am no more its slave "
I cruised down the streets
With the only thought
In my heart
I am free
I don't need to think of my past

The tears that rolled down my cheeks
Began to recede
I followed a beautiful dream
That I didn't know
" That won't last"
I vent open my desires
They spoke to my heart
Named me " blindfolded "
Who couldn't see the fire
Driven by desires
 Mistook my pyre for a dream
The ring of smoke for a cloud that would rain

Such is life
Standing on the threshold
With my dreams
My sunken eyes
Can't even see 
The difference between " the fire
And the showers of rain"
The difference between "the pleasure
And unbearable pain "
Therefore all my dreams
I put you away " I prefer to be callous"

A Beautiful Morning for me

Quote from Romeo Juliet #quotes #romeo #juliet Romeo I fear, too early: for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night's revels and expire the term Of a despised life closed in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death. And now a few lines on pain please read on .....

I fell in your arms
I thought I could live forever in the swing
Your  lips were too soft
I thought I could forever communicate with them
In your eyes and in your arms
I galloped though I had not a single wing on me


Your face had that charm
That I had never seen and I don't wish to see again
Your musk was so strong
It took me no time to sweep me off my feet
Your palms were so warm
I thought they could never let go off me


I knealed before the storm
I said " let me sustain with him"
It blew the rocks into pieces
Those were stronger than me
It left abruptly without an alarm
To comeback to shock me one evening


I thought its about to rain
But the clouds left without a warning for me
I mistook the sound of the dark
I thought it was the Nightingale singing for me
The stars too disappeared in the dark
I thought they were preparing to welcome the morning

I failed once again to recognise the warnings
Could you speak to me " Oh Dark"
Why do you keep coming back to me
Why don't you tell the rain to shower on me
Can you speak to stars
And tell them I am yearning for " A Beautiful Morning "

Though every thing seemed like a dream in the dark
But you all failed me
You failed me because you never cared for me
Like a withered twig in your palms
 " Oh my fate " in your arms
I failed
For all of you have conspired and are bent upon to blow me off my feet

Witchcraft

 Few lines on deceit ....

                                                      



                                                         You said " You love"
                                                  Didn't you know " love is pious
                                                      Not meant to be abused
                                                            Nor to be used
                                                            For selfish gains
                                                 So spell not those words again

                                             Your treacherous, perfidious ways
                                            You should know " Will destroy you "
                                                    You will pay for your sins
                                        Though you may try to wash your hands of
                                                       You are being watched
                                                               Some day
                                                  You will be taken off guard
                                                          Come what may

                                              You created a place in my heart
                                          Pretended to be Siebog ( God of love)
                                                     Your intentions were all wrong
                                                           I ignored let go
                                              Because I didn't want  blood bath
                                                       To stain my palms
                                         The stains would have been as hideous
                                                      As your odious face
                                        That you conceal with your gentle ways
                                               But I saw through your evil skills
                                         That know how to caste a witchcraft
                                                       But sooner or later
                                                     The world will know
                                              Your malefic and malevolent
                                                           Vicious face
                                           As the venom does have a shade
                                                   That shows with time
                                                  And not let the culprit
                                                            Get away
                                              But show you the gateway
                                       And you will be mowed and churned
                                                    By his savage slaves
                                                       And show you
                                           When the spell of curse casts
                                            That comes from a true heart
                                                      That you ignored
                                              And tread to reach the top
                                                     Your eyes will roll
                                              That's the time you will realise
                                  When your screams will go unheard and in vain
