Zaftig

Making sand castles

Playing aimlessly on the beach

His eyes twinkled

At the sight of an old Zaftig .

His memory shifted to his house

At countryside

Where a similar woman

Smiles and adores him

Bakes delicious cookies

And surprise him with candy

On her lap he sleeps while reading

She gently cleans his drools

Her bosom fills with pride

He is a Xerox of his grandfather.

His castle tumbled down

With the rising wave

Old Zaftig was standing near

Smiling gently she offered him a candy.

Note :- And here comes the last Alphabet ending the challenge . Suddenly feeling as if there is nothing to do. I am grateful to the entire team and the bloggers.

Yawl

That fateful night

Heaven poured

Gauchely

Pitter .. Patter

Pitter..  Patter

Wrecking the ship

That insignificant Yawl

Sailing gallantly

On the gushing sea

Saving ..  Saving

Saving.. Saving

Many sinking lives

Xanthippe*

With hands on her hips

Wicked smile on her lips

She thrashed his head

On the side of a bed

She wanted a car and diamonds

To let things normal he bought

All even when tight handed

She faked some illness

Which no doctor could

Find in her abusiveness

She reeks of venom

Strikes him hard

Sounds as a demon

With blazing eyes

She looks upon him

Seems as if will eat him fried

Sacred vows hold no importance

As she wants only her will to be spoken.

* Xanthippe – wife of Socrates. Her allegedly bad tempered behaviour towards her husband made her proverbial as a shrew.
- a shrewish, scolding, or ill-tempered woman or wife.

Withering Summer

With prickly sweat

Trickling down the spine

Finding respite

Under the 'Neem tree'*

Quenching thirst

With sweet cool lime

And syrupy watermelon

Oozing nectar from

Green coconut

Tastes like Heaven

Juicy mangoes tease

Oh! I want some more please 

Scorching sun

Reverberates its heat

Let the ‘Matka Kulfi’** melt

And beat the sizzling heat

Sun Flowers stand valiantly

Shinning in the sun

Summers are here

Now waiting for the Rain.

** 'Matka Kulfi' it is a kind of creamy milky Ice cream set in earthen pots. It's a delight in summers as fresh earthen pot's aroma mixes with delicious cool Ice Cream.

Virtual world

Living in a fake domain

Like a ball of dishevelled yarn

Connected.. Yet at a distance

‘Ends’ does not meet

Flurry of thoughts disperse

Mingles around

Yet nowhere to be found

Distanced from the loved

Living in simulated realm

Cribbing for something

Not knowing ‘what’

Fake is all around

Truth is lost

Entwined in the web

Of lies

Struggling to be part

Of forged personalities

Forgetting ourselves…!

Under the umbrella

Under the umbrella

Walking hand in hand

Away from all qualms

Love birds craved to fly

To reach the rainbow in the sky

Asking for its colours

To fill their life

.

. 

Under the umbrella

Looking intently in the eyes

Smiling at each other

Cherishing the rain

Melting in the Petrichor

Requesting for its freshness

Conquering their existence

.

.

Under the umbrella

They live happily

Walking hand in hand

Looking keenly

Revering the gift of love

Merging with the beats

Relishing togetherness !!

Paraty2012 , Brazil

Trepidation

Earlier 

Always felt a strong self

Passing off never alarmed

Splattering blood kept calm.

Yet

Seeing own bloods demise

Brings quiver inside.

Then

The difference arise

From blood to blood

Though all in red .

Hope

To merge the variance

And be one with everything.
