Crossing Borders!

Borders !

a line that differentiates

Looks in and out

Thoughts that varies

and

Attitude that perceives

Needs Courage

to accept any situation

That mind....

that's flexible to other's words

A body ,

that accustoms to the new taste

Of Vibrant Life

I Mould ...

Crossing Borders!

A True experience that helped me realize "Crossing Borders"

rejoicing it's limelight
for the hard work it did

and an income that finds its way
to the mini cash store

Be blessed with Good Homes,Good Food and Enough Money!

Writers and Novelists

Birth
Words flow through a hand
writing its own mind with a pen
A new page is written everytime
as each new day dawns.
I flow with each and every move
of that invisible fingers

Marriage
Open the index that points to
a sweet twist in my chapter
Wherein I have asked you
to join me to unfold new pages
So that we can reproduce
a sequel in the coming days ahead.

Death
Among the ups and downs of my life ,
I had my best writings
to be reproduced into editions
for generations to come.
I still ...
I still live through them
So never ever repent..
even if you hear someone say that
"My Chapters have been closed"

- dedicated to all writers

The Mirror Outside

noreply@blogger.com (Umamaheswari) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:16:00 +0000

She lay spread on bed
As silent as she can be
Idle and possessed
I collected her as I got up
Carefully pulling out the loops
That resulted due to the love
Between the hairs at night
Mockingly , I tied her up

I opened the door for her
To get wet in the cool shower
I moved my fingers through her
And loosened her from the clutch
I watched the sight...
Gracious !
She fell cascading in elegance
And when the cool water trickled her
She soaked herself into moistness
Doving in the shampoo producing rich lather
I bathed her fresh like a morning star

She then cuddled in between the cotton treads
Peeping now and then to the light outside
Frizzling slow...
She dried herself under the Sun
Allowing the heat to penetrate into her
Pampered in the warmth of love

Suddenly the cool breeze swarmed
Into the holes between the strands
Of her hair, unveils the beautiful face
That’s hidden behind the thin long screens
Scrubbing out the scents from the hair
That been bathed with rosewater touch
I smelled the fragrance closing my eyes
Indulging in the sweetness of tenderness

Each time I hold her soft body in my hands
I felt tender passion dissolving in
Each time she brushed on my face
I remembered pleasant moments
Being a delicate part of my body
She responds to every pain I incur
I know that she cares more for me
Breaking loose and in size reduce
Ready to hides my tears,when low
Or shines with glow when I 'm joyous
And this is how she talks with me.
I never seen such friend who heeds
To every feelings that I undergo ,
Displaying or making sure that I read

I brushed aside my wavy sassy lover
That knows how I feel in her close presence
I shook my head and beamed thinking
Of the woman in me who loves being pampered
With the same soft touch of care and love
I realize that I need to tie her up once again
A secret brief lock....
As she is my best Mirror outside

Halloween Party at Night

noreply@blogger.com (Umamaheswari) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:16:00 +0000

Lighted Pumpkins on the doorway

Invites witches to come and play

Wandering on brooms stick on the sky

Zoom Zoom and Zoom ,they fly

I was seated in a dim lighted room

With hunched back and deadly groomed

I slowly sucked in my thick red tomato soup

From a big bowl of scary dots and loops

Knock Knock Knock, I heard some noise

Crooked broken voices of girls and boys

Receiving the signal, I quickly gathered

My baskets with monster chocolate and fled

Hello Hello and Hello..we are in

Come let us party for Halloween

From door to door, we go and call

Tagging for party friends ,short and tall

We scare and scare all through the night

Those who were caught on our sight
They stood and looked at us kids
Snaring at us with their wry smile undid

Witches or skeleton, we need no such dress

And telling there's yet no monster better than us

The Story of Rapunzel's Hair

noreply@blogger.com (Umamaheswari) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:06:00 +0000

Long Long ago, I grew long to flow
Wavy and sassy , chit chat as I go
I brush the soft walls on the towers
That measures my height as I reach lower
I am bathed in Lukewarm water
With natural herbs and natural colors
I am pampered with nourishing coconut oils
Carefully and neatly tied up to coil
My long golden mane with colorful ribbons
Adorned with flowers ,yellow and crimson
I am loved and taken care of so well
By a beautiful maiden named Rapunzel
I played messenger helping her find
Her true love role playing from behind
Up and down , In and out I go
Providing a only pathway to below
Until the wicked witch struck me upon
Cutting my beauty in two , one half down
Held wickedly on the hands of the witch
My other half on Rapunzel who's been ditched
I wander with her in the lonely woods
Unknown of the spell cast upon her only good
Finally, a rescue was bestowed through a Dove
To bring back my true long self and her True Love

Love and get loved - The story of Rapunzel's hair rescued through the Dove

One thing I loved about Rapunzel's hair is that she pampered her hair with love and affection which drove her to get healthier and long hair.I am not a Rapunzel but I can do what she does to her Hair [ pampering my hair to save what is left now :( ]

Life is fun when viewed from a different perspective ."Put yourself in other's shoe so you may know their pain" is a well known proverb. Now ,let me put it in a different way."Put yourself on the other side of the world say a dream world so that you may know how beautiful your life is like a poetic world " . Chill !! :)

Some points favoring RED Color

Red Color is bright and intense
The color of our blood is red
Red is the color of the Sunset , Fire and seen in Autumn leaves
The color of LOVE and passion is Red.That's why you give Red Rose or Red Heart for your Loved ones
Red is visible at any oblique angles during any time of the day esp.at night times.The rear lights of cars and vehicles, Train flags, Post Box , Telephone Booths are mostly seen in the Red color.

I ain't no Beauty - Poetry for the soul that needs some charm

noreply@blogger.com (Umamaheswari) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:51:00 +0000

Prompt from Poets United

I ain't no Fairy Tale Princess

Though some beauty I do possess

I'aint taking about white skin and red lips

which portrays beauty that a princess keeps

Though like Cinderella , I wait for a stardom

to marry a prince who searches for me to come

To awake me from my Sleep, as deep as a sea
Fighting the evil to breaks my curse free

Like Snow White, I lay on coffin for true love

until to be awakened by a Prince kiss now

I ain't no beauty to be saved like a Prince would

Falling in love by looks and does what he should

I am a framed bones and flesh coated neatly by skin

Which expands when fat and shrinks when thin

In case, you can't accept whats in store

I ain't the one you look for or need anymore

Unknown of being written
Of his life through fall

The Fall , season to watch for withered leaves has began now.I'm searching for stories to write through those leaves.One I had written in the name of " Mellow Fruitfulness " and the other yet to be written
