Targeted

Light struggles to disengage  from  absorbent surfaces which swallow luminosity, emit blackness Light gets lost in solar magnificence merges with strength enhances intensity -yet remains invisible Light  reaches its target celebrates life-worth, illuminates spaces  which ask for help existence becomes  worthwhile for both giver and receiver, revelling in  satisfaction https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2020/11/12/reenas-exploration-challenge-161/

Taking a Chance

Eyes

a subject of  fantasy eulogies romanticisation mystery body language for ages…. eyes  occupy centre-stage once again as contours of facial beauty get masked in viral rains… I wish transparency becomes predominant in eyes and masks leaving no misunderstanding or unpleasant remnants. https://dversepoets.com/2020/11/17/poetics-look-into-my-eyes/

Let the stories perish

so many stories reverberate, images shift, giving different perspectives I struggle to find the right frame for each- and then, the final one coffins are limiting -maybe a book -maybe a culture -maybe an institution but trends are so short-lived... human memories are subjective -they change form with situations and experience I will let the …

Seasonal Declarations

pages flutter on calendars -ominous declarations all that started  will end -renewed vibrations gardeners set fire to dried leaves -declaring summations personal stories define the year -await reincarnation https://dversepoets.com/2020/11/03/poetics-stoddard-longfellow-and-bryant-say-hello-what-does-november-mean-to-you/
