Two Poems from our Family Poetry Collection

 
 
An Ode to my Mother
   
Author: Saptarshi Mukherjee
   
Poem:
An Ode to my Mother
   
  An Ode to my mother

Each day with the rising of the sun
With the sweet melody of the birds,
With the fragrance of sweet flowers,and
With the opening of buds which bloom to begin a new life,bloom to turn into beautiful flowers,
I also bloom to rediscover new life
New energy and new path

You rise up each day
My spirits rise up to new height

You speak up each day
My heart echoes to your words

You smile each day
And I feel like heaven’s door are opened
And the entire world’s happiness is bestowed to me.

Sometimes you turn morose
Then the light which reaches me and
Rejuvenates my life turns dim and I shrink,
The beautiful flower’s whose source of nutrition are you
Wither, die, scatter and fall on your feet,
The leaves which were once bright and lusty green,
Lose their strength and color
And fall pale brown, lifeless, burnt they make me bare and make me lose my identity.

And when you are burning in rage and fury
You fall on me like hails and thunderstorms
Your agony makes me burn and I dazzle with pain.

And when you turn silent
The darkness within you
Condense now to dark clouds
Drenched with your tears,
Tears of your pain and resentment
Then you pour on me heavily
To cool me and extinguish that
Fire and give a healing touch to my burns.

Oh! Mom you are the Mother Nature,
Who embraces her children and teaches them to survive,
I bow before you and salute you, my mother.

Saptarshi Mukherjee

I STILL REMEMBER….
   
Author: Sana Waqas
   
Poem: I STILL REMEMBER….
   

Road journeys are always fascinating,
But not as joyful as they used to be in the childhood;

I still remember the beauty of the lush green grass spread across the roads,
And the wheat fields which used to mesmerize me in my childhood;

I still remember the green trees dancing to the tunes of wind,
And the flashy flowers which made me smile in my childhood;

I still remember the hustle and bustle on the roads,
And the running cars which used to excite me in my childhood;

I still remember the drizzle making everything so pure,
And the rainbow which made me exuberant in my childhood;

I still remember the scorching heat of the summers,
And the heat coming through the windows which used to agitate me in my childhood;

I still remember the stop-overs we had during the journey,
And the sight of snacks which made me more hungry in my childhood;

I still remember the little fights I had with my siblings,
And the words of our parents which used to calm us in our childhood;

I still remember the little games we played,
And the songs which made us grin in our childhood;

I still remember the passing cottages along the road,
And the cattle which used to terrify me in my childhood;

I Still Remember the joy felt during the journeys,
And the arrival of destination which made me unhappy in my childhood……
