Author: Navin

Navin is a poet, writer, blogger & a published author. One day Navin felt this need to write a poem as he had an opening in him. Something had changed deep down, where Navin came in contact with the very being. Self-realization, experiences, raw emotions & some other dimensions is what Navin shares through his poetic creations. Poetry is Navin's passion, which has this great therapeutic effect on him as well. To Navin darkness & light are equally important.

The Constellation

Original poetry

Feet are glowing with burns
Eyes are flooded by surge
Mind is chasing the search
Body is facing the swirls
Unable to speak a single word
Coz path seems so crazy tough
But giving up isn’t the term
Exploring the unknown is the thirst
Walking the rough in pure trust
Lightning is the flow of the blood

Leaves are floating in the fall
The tree is standing naked & tall
Roots are gripping the ground
Universe is quietly observing it all
Sky is now having this talk
Key is the constellation in the dark
To unlock the unseen transparent port
Sun is slowly raising the bars
Pain is the seed that grows into love
Where love is the raw beat of the heart

If I could be a feeling… (a poetic collaboration by Kriti Nayyar & Navin Manik)

Original poetry

I’m sharing this special moment with you all…a moment in the form of this collab…a collab with this beautiful soul, that goes by the name of Kriti @kriti.nayyar…Kriti is a self-love writer & a true warrior…she’s a wonderful, a very helpful person & a dear friend on top…her writings are not only beautiful, deep & meaningful but they also are filled with her learnings & wisdom…please do visit her page on Instagram to read her poetry…Kriti would soon be joining the WordPress community…so that’s simply great…

Kriti came up with this idea of writing on ‘If I could be a feeling…’…I liked the idea instantly…she then suggested that we must write our individual parts, without sharing them with each other…I loved the idea coz it would mean, that we would express from our hearts in our own ways…at the same time, it made us curious coz we wanted to see how our parts would sound with that feeling of one piece…we didn’t swap our writings back n forth at all…so, it’s a collab of a unique kind…where there’s synchronicity & there are similarities, expressed in different styles…where there’s glimpse of our paths, seen from our sight…it’s like reaching the destination through different & yet similar paths at deeper level…so without any further ado, I’m presenting this collab…I hope you’d enjoy reading & connecting with it as much as we did creating it ✨💟💫

If I could be a feeling…

Transparency I would surely be & shine
It is what I sense instantly
When I close my big brown eyes
There’s no point in wearing an armour
And carrying a sword to slice
Wounds & scars I now wear
As the starry medals with pure pride
The ocean gyres peacefully in me
I float in it & then I simply dive
The sky exists deep within
I fall from there & roar as I freely fly
Pain & love sit quite close to each other
Is what I ve realized
Perfectly imperfect is magical
From higher perspective of this life
This feeling makes me embrace
The sharp & restless edges of mine
There’s no need to look outside
Coz the raw nature is truly inside
Selfless self-love brings me closer to me & you,
It’s love for the very I

-Navin Manik

If I could be a feeling…


What would I be?
My heart says, “Love you fool”
And I am nodding happily
But then I know
Love loses its charm without trust
So should I be trust?
Yes, that I can be but
Trust is a two way road
There is no point in being someone’s trust
And not having theirs for you!
Then what should I be?
Forgiveness may be
Ofcourse we all need and deserve it
To free ourselves and others from guilt
But again what if I forgive
And the other is not ready to forgive themselves
As it is an inside job too!
So, if I could be a feeling what would I be?
And in this very moment I know the answer
I would be kindness!
Why? Because in my life I have been unkind
And I have also tasted the thorns of unkindness
And ouch! they leave marks like none!
There were times when I wished and begged for it
But then I have also seen kindness
Heard kindness, felt kindness, lived kindness
And it made me more kind in return
There is no wound that this magic potion cannot heal
One may forget your love for them
But one always remembers
Your kind word /gesture when it was needed the most
This is one feeling that is always a one way road
It depends on you and you alone
So, if I could be anything
I would like to be kind!

Spoken Word Poetry :- Darkness – The Intense Light (YouTube channel)

Original poetry, Spoken Word

To me both darkness & light are like yin & yang; powerful in their own ways. Darkness has normally been seen as something negative. But in reality, it has its own intense light if one sees it with an open heart. Light & dark are zen-masters of unique kinds.

You can also find ‘Darkness – The Intense Light’ in my poetry collection – Lightning Rhymes.

Dear Readers, 

I’m in the process of creating this brand new site, where I’ll be publishing my poems. 

Please follow navinspoetry.com if you still wish to read my poems. 

As you’re aware that my old site – navinspoems.com was having issues with notifications after I migrated it to another hosting service provider. The domain is still active but I’ll be deleting it once I’ve successfully migrated my content & have added you to this site by contacting you individually, unless you find me by yourself.

I look forward to “seeing” you here.

Thanks for your patience & the great support all the way 🙏❤️

Much love,

Navin

Blogging

I’m having big trouble in reaching my followers after I’ve migrated my site to a new host. I’ve been in a constant touch with both WordPress & Dreamhost (my current host & not so much of a dream come true) since last 2 months. Nothing has helped. I’ve lost over 85% of my original number of followers after migration. Over 95% of the remaining followers aren’t receiving any notifications when I publish a post. They can only read if I write a comment & they click on my name. So, I’m basically invisible.

Therefore, I would like to know if you are receiving any notifications via email and when you use WordPress app on your smart devices when I publish a new post.

This is my last attempt to check with you before I permanently close navinspoems.com & open a new site.

The “funny” part is that I don’t even know if you would read this post unless I ask each & every follower individually, just like I requested most of you to re-follow my blog after the migration.

Below is the reply from WordPress :

“In order for your subscribers to receive email notifications, they must ensure they have managed their Reader > Followed Site settings for the site in question to enable “Email me new posts” as outlined in the featured image.

As a first step, I would recommend contacting your subscribers and ensure they have toggled their Reader settings appropriately to receive notifications.”

If your notification setting is already enabled & you still don’t receive any notification, then “Houston, I have a problem…..Mayday”. If not, then I still have some hope.

Please let me know by COMMENTING on this post such that I can refer to this link when I contact WordPress next time. This post will help me in taking the decision of either keeping or shutting my current site down. I’ll of course open a new site if my current site can’t be saved.

Thank you kindly for your big help 🙏❤️

A Poem – My Bits

Poems about anger, Poems about recovery

I know you feel that I screw your head with my crazy snapping bit
Just don’t misinterpret by interrupting me, you’re making me insane & very sick
Just don’t tell me to leave or zip my lyrically slippery lips
I’ll then turn everything into gloomy shades of ashes, coz I’m simply so lit
So don’t make me glare at you with my demon eyes, your ground will burn & then split

I’ll spin my twisted pen to scribble alphabe(a)ts on your sensitive skin
I’ll flip out on you if you play plain judge when you sit on that judgemental seat
I’ll mentally hammer you down under the surface with the firing words that I spit
I’ll slit you into pieces with my edgy skills if you match my level of devil so big
So stay away from me before I pour your floor with the intense flow of my bleeding ink

I do trip every now & then when I keep loosing my weakend grip
I do hit hard on my ground & damage my brain, full of spots & pits
You see, healing with time is nothing but just a believable myth
If I’d simply sit back in my pit & wait for life to turn so slick
Nothing will ever change & I’ll remain a freaking sick

I’m trying to gather my pieces in peace to make a proper fit
So I’ll keep ripping my skin to stitch every single bit
To steer my unbalanced wheels for this wicked trip with no tricks
I promise, I’m gonna be around for the family in thick & thin
Jitter & sparks in my messy circuit but there’s no switch yet to make me quit

—– My Bits —–

My Bits is a poem, where I’m trying to gather myself after being provoked to the monstrous level. It’s like I get blinded by my rage & then it’s very difficult for me to come out of it, especially, if others try to match my noise level. I’m suggesting others to back off when I’m in this red zone. Talking about consequences, ordering me, raising voice or similar in that moment would only make the situation worse.

In the second half of the poem My Bits, it shows how I’m learning to observe the silence closely before the storm hits, to control my snapping. Writing poetry & talking about such matters openly, helps me to heal faster and it helps others to understand to a certain extent how I see the world when I feel imbalanced, angry, insane, numb & very sick at the same time.
