APM Poetry Marathon 5/8:

Write a poem that begins with the words "My home is"

-

My home is
Walls painted with struggle
And floor covered with the dust of comfort
That the wind and the waters aren't capable of
To blow or wash away .

It smells like petrichor
And seems like rainbow .
The petrichor which doesn't finishes even after filling all your nose and mind and heart ,
The petrichor which makes you smile endlessly.
The rainbow which doesn't smudges off into the blues of the sky
The rainbow which holds your head high .

It feels like
The comfort of the laps of
my ancestors i never met
And a sort of alchemy that they diffuse
Into the walls of those small rooms and big halls .

My home
Has been nothing less than a home for everyone.
For refugees and for war causers too
Because love is all that constitutes the land above which it was built .

-

My home is a glass house, O madman.
I address you as madman, because I
know of no other adjective that would
suit you.
You've been a delight since the
moment I laid my eyes upon you.
Even after you realised, these glass
walls weren't entirely smooth, but an
assemblage of broken shards of
glass pieces,you treaded on inside,
O madman.
You knew perfectly well, if I break,
it'll ruin both of us and you're here, still.
Tell me, what else do I call you now,
but a madman?

-

Dear god "
Teach me .
Keep me .
Hold me .
Help me .
I went to be better then
I was yesterday !

हाथों की लकीरों को पलट कर देखना भी गवारा नहीं
अरसा हुआ देखे हुए आईने में गौर से खुद को सवारा नहीं

-

एक स्त्री
मकान को
घर बनाती हैं

-

He Loved Being A Child
Whenever She Was Around
He Teased Her
He Threw Temper Tantrums
He Danced With Weird Moves.

He Let Off His Tough Shell
To Let Her In
And Make It Her 'Cozy' Home.

-

My home
is a battlefield
with no enemies
no losers or winners
The war, leaves no bloodshed
just refugees

-

I felt his arms go around me,
Holding me tight ,
making myself feel safe .
It was warm , I felt it like
I'm at home .

आंखो के सामने हर पल आपको पाया है,
अपने दिल में सिर्फ आपको बसाया है
आपके बिना हम जिये भी तो कैसे,
भला जान के बिना कोई कैसे जी पाया है।।
