old fireplace…
my grandpa’s cigar
burns unevenly

Whispers, a poetry blog
A Poet
yesterday….
compose some thoughts that reunify
the gist of reality and wisdom of life
strain all assumptions and then purify
my reckless expression of false pride
transition…
speak to others with rejuvenated voice
feel like a revival of my dormant spirit
that unleash my feelings and rejoice
with words that flow freely like lyrics
today…
play with words that reverberate inside
WHISPERS some inspiration and love
creates many words that kindle a light
and see myself as a mystic that whirl
and make me unique from the rest
to be a poet that is not anonymous

Eternal Beauty
By Keith Dodrill, England and Hifsa Ashraf, Pakistan
The eyes of my heart search for you
But still you are hidden from desire’s gaze
And my utmost attention is not enough;
Yearning overwhelms me
I must break the cocoon of my thoughts
Ready for transformation of the ‘Self ‘
To the next stage of ability
Now I conceive and capture you
Wander the shore of your tantalizing eyes
Looking for answers in the surf
Waiting for you to unfold for me;
My surrender is close
I am balanced on the horizon of our union
Our immortality
Dimensions converge
Your beauty is everywhere
And I feel the petal-soft skin of your Being;
Your smile dives into me
Dissolves within my flesh
And there is such tranquility
That which is present after suns collide
In this calm
Your perfection is realized;
Your face no longer a dream
Your touch is enough
Your arms so comforting
Your kiss renews bliss
Your Love is my ocean
And your heart is my beach
So warm and Eternal

honeybee
a honeybee and her happy life
swing and swirl in nature’s ride
lick and lift the nectar of flowers
feel and fight with toxic powers
drain and drop a sweet viscous present a precious heaven liquor.

Written on Valentine’s Day
let’s celebrate this moment..
that tightly interweaves our dreams..
of reunion with time, and..
enchant us with its longevity
let’s celebrate this moment..
that is still alive in the garden..
of our ecstatic heart, and..
allure us with its indelible fragrance
let’s celebrate this moment..
that reflects in the oceanic currents..
of our passionate eyes, and..
uplift our emotions as a tide
let’s celebrate this moment..
that genuinely unite us in the lap..
of the eternal abode, and..
make our relationship immortal
let’s celebrate this moment…
that wholeheartedly celebrates a scene..
of our romantic meeting, and light a candle for our long lasting love…
