Perched on the branch,
Mr. Cat watched the changing colors of the sky,
With its emerald eyes.
The black and white version of the sketch looks cleaner but the colored version highlights the imperfections, just to make things more believable and achievable.
The mountains creaked in the valley.
Feeling old, sighing!
What if they chose to,
Lay down and rest?
Many of us will end up crying.
Stand tall, oh high and mighty!
For the selfish needs of humanity.
A wooden cabin with large glass windows amidst nature.
Constant rain has turned the world outside dark and grey.
Trees sway and get drenched in the pouring rain.
Droplets of rain scatter on the window panes and trickle down slowly,
Blurring the serene view.
The cabin is dimly lit – its fireplace radiates a warm glow.
Smell of burning wood lingers across the room.
There is nothing but the sound of rain and a soft crackle of fire.
A kettle and a steaming cup of tea await.
At sunrise,
The green blades of grass with dew
Caressed her bare naked feet.
Dear Readers,
I hesitate to post something that is not a poem or a story.
I have always had a lifelong dream to publish my own book. Today I am proud to say that my first Kindle book, Into Words is live on the Amazon store. I urge you to please have a look.
Below is the link to Amazon US, however you can get it in almost any country by searching for “Into Words Nuraine Sadaf” on Amazon. For now it is only available in the Kindle format, but I hope to have a Paperback shortly!
My book, Into Words, includes more than fifty poems and it is a collection of my thoughts that are expressed in the form of poetry on various themes like,
– Seasons
– Love
– Fantasies
– Emotions
– Hope
If you believe in the healing power of poetry and its ability to do good in the world, I urge you to create more poetry and also support my humble contributions.
Thank you for following and liking my blog posts from which I have received the encouragement and courage to self publish my first poetry book.
Thank you and ever so grateful.

A blazing hot day.
The sun like a fire ball,
Deep blue sky.
Sunday morning date with nature.
On a hot day I drink hot coffee
It was a pitch-dark starless night.
Rain pattered furiously on the streets,
The wind repeatedly rattled on my window screens.
I sat silently on the corner of the bed
With the sheets pulled close to my chest.
A tremendous flash of lightning
Cracked the sky in two,
Followed by a sharp thunderous boom
Sending shivers down my spine.
But, I listened to the violence of the storm all the while.
Frightened yet curiously amazed by the magnanimous power of the skies.
The stillness
of an old lone tree
by the sea.
On a full moon night.
The wooden boat glided silently across the serene lake, passing through the misty air.
Floating plants drifted gently to the side making way for the boat to pass.
Old and mighty mountains stood still in the background reflecting golden morning light, glistening on the peaks.
He hummed softly in the boat so as not to disturb the quietness in the air.
