Misty winter mornings

There's something magical,

about misty winter mornings,

when we are venturing outside,

for our walks or driving. 

The air feels cold & crisp,

being chilled to the bones,

still it felt so refreshing,

enjoying the tranquility of world.


Our eyes brighten, lips smile,

witnessing the dense fog outside,

covering surroundings like a blanket,

obscuring our vision, to see ahead.

It doesn't suppress, become overwhelming, 

rather felt intimate, and welcoming,

stirring emotions, evoke nostalgic times, 

the cozy moments, of childhood memories. 


And I walked, through the haze,

opening my mouth, creating vapors,

unfurling imagination, reliving days,

of being a dragon, smoking cigarette.

For, here, I could see my breath,

like manifesting inner heartbeats, 

while ethereal atmosphere is created,

in those special moments. 


Words dances, with flowing ink

Words dances, with flowing ink,

when imagination sparks briefly,

not many sustains, carry it well,

lacking the depth, slowly dissipate,

leaving behind unpleasant aftertaste. 


The writers dream, for better screen,

while the amateurs, keeps up routine,

reading, writing, learning from mistake,

gradually growing, using the means,

expressing freely, thoughts in pages. 


Word dance, with flowing ink,

captivating attention of the kings,

the reader's deliberate, selecting few,

making them rise, by sharing reviews,

encouraging authors to continue. 


Yet, failures, lack the voice,

stirring emotions, making some noise,

for, limitations hampers many potentials,

with vocabulary, grammar, & perceptions,

acting as setbacks & obstacles. 


Words dances, with flowing ink,

some brings greater recipes,

yet, every effort, adds spices,

to otherwise monotony of flavors,

even if we admire the work.
