“dolce far niente”

Sweetness of doing nothing.
Meandering silence solely unrevealed…

Silence does not mean entering into oblivion.
Instead, creating zestful moments with gusto.

Spending pleasant, joyful time with yourself.
It is not the feeling of calling empty or vacant…

The void has its own resonating power, in emptiness.
It has a strong voice that travels around, echoed.

Idle but not grief-stricken, never weak to catch the voice.
Practically healthy, an affable soul-to-soul conversation.

To be specific, not to confuse with any Psychotic disorders.
Comforting self-talk, absolute reflection from the chaotic bustling life…

Feeling of ecstasy, enjoying blissful moments of solitude is perfectly defined as-
Sweetness of doing nothing.

~an impromptu poem for #NaPoWriMo day 27

Prompt Day 27: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a “duplex.” A “duplex” is a variation on the sonnet, developed by the poet Jericho Brown. Here’s one of his first “Duplex” poems, and here is a duplex written by the poet I.S. Jones. Like a typical sonnet, a duplex has fourteen lines. It’s organized into seven, two-line stanzas. The second line of the first stanza is echoed by (but not identical to) the first line of the second stanza, the second line of the second stanza is echoed by (but not identical to) the first line of the third stanza, and so on. The last line of the poem is the same as the first. https://www.napowrimo.net/day-twenty-seven-8/

Dolce far niente is an Italian phrase, which means sweetness of doing nothing or pleasant relaxation in carefree idleness. In my poem I have talked about solitude, soul-to-soul connection and relishing blissful moments with oneself, which also implies to that of reflecting thought process. A quite and calm environment is all what one needs while relaxing. I understand most of us loves to live independently, enjoying alone and adore being with themselves more than spending time with others or having to talk in a group feels suffocating or something that sort of. And spending quality time with yourself feels most validate of all and I claim the same. I too love solitude and appreciate sweetness of doing nothing/ Dolce far niente! So this duplex poem is dedicated for all my sweetest dearest readers who love Dolce far niente <333

Honey I need You…

-A poem dedicated to some romantic tale-

Credit- Me!!!!!

To  my dear sweetheart,
with lots of love…

I want you near me

So that every moment I can share,

My thoughts and my feelings

Every moment will be special,

Just spare some time from your routine…

I am fantasizing that night,

Where, I shall be close to you…

Sleeping between your arms

And some little cuddles…

I will be waiting for you.

Your presence shall warm up my night!

And a perfect candle light dinner…

Imagine!

A silent night will allow us to be together,

Our words shall meet our lips.

Two cocktail glasses for brandy…

And a contextual music playing…

And…

How about a sentimental ballad?

A slow couple dance…

Music on, “perfect”

In a romantic mood ,

Your hands against my waist

Holding me tight!

Lip-locked!

Sounds amazing…

Wish, that nightfall is coming soon

Awaiting, dreaming to meet you, darling

And, I am sorry if I have hurt you someday…

Trust me,

My love will never die even if you leave me

My passionate heart needs you honey…


An idle hope of love and desires desperately waiting for you.


This poem is a special one from my favourites! I have delivered this poem to the Poetry Fest, you can find it here.  Simple yet delicately woven using sugary, quixotic words (not exactly quixotic!), screening a girl/woman/lady intensely trying to hold her beloved one by her seducing lyrics, embracing her faith yet exasperated in need of a soul-mate… Basic thought is, ‘dreaming to get a partner’ so as to taste romance in life! “An idle hope of love and desires waiting desperately…” Captioning the picture, I have pasted a romantic photo from my favorite collection and a few, to make my poem more special!
I hope this poem could draw a real picture, rendering what I meant to express my thoughts…. Do visit the poetry contest site!!
Love you all….💕
