I dont know the inauspicious time my beloved left home.
Loving monsoon long gone,
shedding leaves from the deciduous trees
bringing in the augery of storm.
No welcome news of his arrival.
My ears dried
My heart throbs.
Throbbing that makes itself scared,
worrying about his survival.
I light the lamp in his name.
Wherever he may, he be safe,without pain
I protect that lamp from heavy rains pattering on my weak heart,
over the brink ,
tears rolling tide,
down my withered cheek;
I protect the lamp from gust of winds unwilling to abide,
chided to calm.
Why air is holding pride,
When I inhale breath from him.
Lying shattered on gleamy quadrangle,
My soul was perturbed
I was dying with penitance
if I could not protect him well.
I warded off the evil’s eye,
but pillow hid the amulet
when he was leaving.

The last time when we hit the sack,
I subsumed him in my spirit.
I weaved those sweet dreams,
vows and plea.
Of me and him forever as we.
He settled in my veins
Veins that travese heart
He settled in the breaths
Breaths that I take in
Impossible to retract

Besides him
time flew away
with snap of fingers.
The same time has refused to walk,
untirelessly lingers.
Every passing minute, a torture.
Every second is incision.
“If not willing to come
Send a post through homing pigeon
to convey your safety and wellbeing.
So that my soul could fly
to you,
be there forever.”

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
