A Tired Dove
Hana Shishiny
Has life become a faking game
Lebanese poet writer and translator Playing the face of happiness
Having poems in many anthologies Of contentment and peace of mind...
Preparing my first poetry book to publish... Of ever blooming spring
Had art studies in American university In Beirut Lebanon When heart keeps the flames...
Painter had many exhibitions...
Interior designer and decorator in the real life Tired of being a flying Dove
Egyptian...
Searching light, in far away skies
Living in Cairo Egypt by marriage...
Wings falling... Bare feet bleeding in thrive
Looking for a gate to open, to Bliss from above...
O God... Open that gate for me
Hold me in your blessing arms
World is aching... Wounded... to be free
Seeking your healing warmth... Your heaven's balm
Pearls
are of Dawn of peace
no value;
Darkness starts sliding down slowly
Until, Mountains shown in hazy colors..
Extricating themselves from the sky.. happily
they come With dark blue... to lighter... then to silver...
out of Dawn hugs the world.. caressing all sights
Offering love rays, of the coming day
Shell In the awoken garden of life
Birds chirping, fly toward the light...
How many dawns... I watched in your eyes...
How many nights, in your arms I dwelt...
...Author Like a bird, flying endless sky...
Like a child... sheltered in peaceful trust...
Now wandering in this morning rays
Opening to the sun, my soul in fear
To fragrant flowers... of better days
Flying, as a bird, into a sky peacefully clear...

Spectrum of Desire
Life sows spectrum of Desire- We are chasing the fire,
We want to relish this
And fall in the Snare.
Life drenches us in many hues-
Some happy moments some soaked in blues,
Catching the sun in our fist
It seems we get the Fire.
We are born to die-
But we live as if we are here for Ever,
We cling to a mirage
And strive to get Salvage
The more we want to hold- More it slumps away,
We are not here only to survive
We should thrive and spread Positive Vibes.

The Evening's Wait
Silvery midnight hued twilight, stars sprinkled atop
Warm soft yellowish evening glow, my darling awaited
Gone moments fleeting past, as life slips away fast in city life
A delicate flower my heart, at times anxiety marred
Life gives it's best, in pains too it gives, great lessons
A deep breathe gifted me, a hopeful spark our sweet wait soon be over
High spirited impulse, I sensed the lemony fragrance arriving first
My long drawn wait finally over, our child of love leapt with unbounded joy
On your blushed cheeks in your eyes, blooms many lovable charming deeds
The touch of my hand on your face, relieving me of my own day's all weariness too
My darling's strong support, our world much lightened by all our loving feelings
The highly blessed beloved one , you and your soul the most loved one
Earth toned, blue oranged real emotions, befittingly sets in our home
Unaware of any world, behind closed doors, unfolding another cozy eve
Every home comes alive, every dinner time a most cherished part colours up the lives
Hand painted canvases of our lives, in raised spirits, the bubbles of laughter rise aloud!

My Aged Mother
Dr Sonia Batra Septuaganerian ( between 70 to 79 years)
Dr Sonia Batra is a dentist by profession and writer by compulsion. In her sleep...
In her wrinkles...
You have seen her in many anthologies, Notable amongst them are...
I see an innocence of a child
Genius, Break the Silence, Crossroads and many more. She has been Etched there
awarded by govt of Seychelles, Khazakistan and Peru. She has numerous Creamy complexion long bygone
publications in online magazines Absolutely beautiful, as she snores
Me oozing out of her every pore...
I resemble her so..
Yess, I see a child in her
In her faltering step
Will She Be Able To I hold her now...
Like she held me...
Will she be able to love again In my childhood
Tattered n tortured, will she seek again In my teens, umpteen times
Will she be able to hear the song of her heart Guiding me through my life
Will she be able to possess someone again... In her forgetfulness...
OR... I see her busy finding my shoes, pyjamas, my stockings and my pencil and my compass
She will just drift away Now I find her keys, her spects and her slippers, that tend to slip under bed, a torture...
On the waves of time n sea For her bend back and rheumatoid arthritis
Never capturing the moment I try to listen to her excited blabbering which she repeats and repeats...
Always shying away.... Like she listened patiently to my every storm, laughter and weep
Will she ever commit again.... Yess sometimes, she drools
Will she ever fall as romantic rains Like a baby does...
Over hearts, her soul sauntered for Now I wipe her face
Or she will always be lost Sometimes her hand trembles a lot
In whirlpools of Rights n Wrongs... I feed her, holding her spoon
Will her heart ever soak in love again Yess now I give her crumbs, due to her bad teeth, like she fed me on soft portions
Or she would tarry over the past When I had no teeth..
Sticking to dead moments, in refrain... Now in my love of her
More unstable than stable... Crusts I love to eat...
Will she ever complain... In her stubbornness, in her distress
Will she ever be selfish again... I so see a child in her...
Will she ever ask him, to feel her love Who just wants a listening ear...
As It Is... Best toy for her
Till Eternity... Love and coziness...
Or is it too much to ask once again... Her security and secures
Yess she wants a fixed deposit of cares
@Sonia Batra But whatever I do for her...
It is nothing, before what she did for me...
That's the power of selfless love of a Mother...
Yess today I'm a mother
I can so feel that selfless love
In my body, in my soul

And wisdom, like great Lakshmibai!
The Magic Called “Love”
You are Durga and Kali,
You, our Saraswati and Lakshmi!
The luminous and breezy full-moon night,
At one with the Creator of this Universe,
Twinkling stars spread across the dark sky,
Our salute to Infinite Courage!
Make me so dreamy and romantic,
Spurring my imagination to fly high!
O, Harbinger of the golden Dawn,
My eyes anointed with the ecstasy
Blessed, life-sustaining Sanskara!

Eternal Vision! Craft Ever Anew!
My heart leaping up, singing like a dove,
Guide lifelong with Shakti Aparampara!
Oft asking if this be the magic of Love!
But should it only be for self-enjoyment,
so temporary and fleeting in its nature,
Shouldn't I try to make it more permanent,
A fountain of everlasting treasure Not only live,
What about bringing smiles to Rather I lead a life

One would earn untold blessings, ...Author
And transform their lives slowly.
So, brethren, arise and realise!
Love is the finest masterstroke,
Wield the wand with the magic of
giving, to lives you consider base.
It would yield you big dividends and
A life full of piety, richness and grace!
