Is it just me

Prateek Kohli

A geyser from a fissure, frozen
A sigh of solace
Caring and sharing
So serene to see.
Is it just me, or a tree is the ultimate symbol of love.

Always around
Caressing and comforting
Enchanting eyes
Worried words
Is it just me, or a mother is an imprint of God.

A creed of colors
A flurry of fragrance
A sweet silence
A hustle of happiness
Is it just me, or each flower tells the story of life.

IMG_0371IMG_0377

Being forever for everyone
A journey jeopardized obstacles
Stepped, shoved by sulky companions
Guiding them, to gutsy glory
Is it just me, or a road is the epitome of character and strength.

314

A brief bidding of byes
For a return rhetoric
Bathed in blood but
Too determined to die
Is it just me, or the sunset fills the world with inspiration.

Is it just me, or is it just me?

    Lovely! I love those pictures you clicked. And it is obvious that I loved the essence of the poem. Sunset and inspiration? That’s new! I love those flowers you’ve clicked. Never knew the name but as a child I would always sit and stare at those in the neighbouring compound. 🙂

        Haha ! No dear, that gem although very delicious, is very short-lived and that can’t be true at all in our case 😛

        Anything apart from diamonds then please! Diamonds are over valued these days and it’s getting difficult to separate real from fake! 😉

        What about the Kohinoor one? 😀 See, it was the first (blogger) diamond we came to know about, is our favorite, is the best, still far from reach. So that IS you ! 😉

        That can be related to the fact that you are in possession of an office job. But we (bloggers) want you to stay here with us permanently ^_^

        Hey ! UPSC is great for you !!! But how could a person like you be able to slyly tell people how to evade taxes ? You are too good to do that according to me 😛

        Also, I stopped commenting on your previous posts so that I don’t become the reason which brings back old memories. I hope it was wise to think so 🙂

        You’re robbing me of nostalgia! 😉 I don’t mind you commenting because if it’s on the blog, it’s permanent. And I know it. A lot of it is fiction beyond November though. A lot of those happier memories. 🙂

        Though I’d really recommend “Taking the breath away”. From June 2014. It’s fiction and is the most real thing I’ve felt I’ve written. You will regret not commenting on it 😉

    This is, by far, my favorite of all the preceding entries, each of which have their own unique offerings to the persistent reader.

    The combination of thoughtful words and amazing photos orchestrates a most pleasing poetic symphony, and your creative approach to sharing your thoughts is especially effective in creating a complete experience.

    I enjoyed reading here today, and appreciate very much your kind attention.

    Kind regards….John H.
