The security guard forbids me
as I capture you
as I capture you
from where I stand,
mesmerized by your unfolding enigma
You’re obliviously lurking above
a treasure trove that stands heavily guarded
I tell him you belong nowhere
So, click I will
As he looks away
Looming dark over the mighty corporate horizons
Engulfing within your fluffiness, untold mysteries many
As, yet another eventful day of a new beginning ends
Can you be my wee bit of comfort in these new environs?
Say, have you by any chance drifted from above my home afar?
Bringing me millions of memories to drizzle with…
The warm snuggle of my little one
The rich aroma of my morning cuppa
An eyeful of my garden, sprinkled with colored blossoms
The yearning look of the fur ball of a dog that misses me,
I’m sure…
The flavors of the spices sizzling in my kitchen
The sofa that warmly envelops me every time I plonk
doing nothing in particular
yet every bit important
The cozy familiar scent of home…
Carry within you yet another ambiguity this evening
Will you?
If you happen to find yourself wafting homewards again
Bless them with a generous shower of my love
Till we meet again.

Wonderfully written.
Thank you Sibi. Great to see you here.
Don't we all pause a few moments in our busy life to get awestruck by the beauty of nature?! It's amazing you could write a poetry out of that single moment!
Kudos to you!
Thanks Arun. It is these few wonderful moments close to nature that makes up for the busy mechical lives we lead.
Only Nature has the power to engulf us, overwhelm us and even strike us dumb 🙂 But you have done wonderful justice to this piece, both the photograph and the words that follow. 🙂
Thank you Shailaja. You're right, sometimes nature does leave us awestruck in the middle of our daily routine. It is a blessing to be bestowed with such much needed beautiful breaks. I have captured some amazing shots to justify these moments.
What a lovely way to fuse the heart's feelings toward 'home' and the memories that are triggered by the vastness and beauty of the evening sky. Beautifully written, Vinodini.
Thanks Beloo. We tend to associate some sights and scents with memories close to our heart. Especially with regards to home and our close ones.
I'm curious if you had the clouds in mind when you wrote and/or the Supermoon which graced its presence tonight! 😉
Elly, it was the clouds I had in mind. I learnt about the supermoon concept only today. Any how the moon would not have helped me shower my love 😉
I'm thinking that a prisoner is speaking, asking the moon to bless his home and loved ones. Beautiful poem.
Thanks Francene, corporate employees are as good as prisoners in their jobs, so you're quite close 😉
Love the poetry!
Thank you DrPsychMom 🙂
Love it, love it, love it. 🙂
Thanks Keirthana 🙂
Flawless. Poor security Guard and I enjoy doing that often:)
Thank you Vishal. Yeah, the guard was just doing his duty but guess he wasn't told that the sky was not within their limits 😉
Beautifully captured Vinodini 🙂
Thanks Jyotsna 🙂
Vinodini, that poem has such rich imagery and dense metaphors, as well as a lovely photo to accompany it. Bravo!
Thank you Stephanie. Great to see you here after a long time.
Wonderful poem, Vinodini!
Thanks Vinitha. Great to see you here.
Nature is an eternal beauty we should just stop often to adore and just loved the last lines 🙂
Thanks embark! I am habituated to taking an eyeful of nature from time to time 🙂
