2 LINE HAIKUS...

The blade of grass stood up to the gale,
The willowy tree gave in.

Mist writes letters on my window-pane
Illegible. and yet it refuses to explain..Vain!

Silent contempt,a matchless enemy,
Loud resentment, one can befriend.

The past like layers of oil on water,
Remains immiscible with  future.

Him

In the curve of his neck, nestled her dreams
In the breadth of his shoulders, rested her worries.

In his loud snores, she found peace
Peace, that she never found in silence.

Three cheers for sobriety

Three cheers for sobriety

A bottle of wine,
And for me, you pine.
The morning hangover...
And it is all over

Was it just a ruse...?


The morning breeze visited me enroute to her destiny...
She murmured sweet nothings in my ear...
To her, I gently replied...Don't wake me yet
I am no morning person, dear.


The rising sun called out to me in haste
Shining his torchlight at my eyes....
To him, I strongly replied...Don't wake me yet
Let me be with my morning dreams and it's lies.


The waking baby just gave one whimper
Calling out to my heart in hunger or was it just a ruse...?
To her, I swiftly woke up...
For motherhood knows no excuse

To my daughter...

Her frail limbs can overpower me
Her limp cries can beckon me
Her helplessness - so powerful
I am enslaved forever...

- A mother

During my visit to Paro, Bhutan...

================
Amidst the chants of Buddhist monks,
and the hesitant murmurs of the flowing river,
I heard the silence of GOD..
=============

Scrawls of an unsteady hand...
==============================

Two lines of attempted poetry...
==============================
Sunbeams reach their destined end
Casting shadows of their death.
=======================================
The carpet of grass beckons your feet
Ever willing to be crushed at your whims
=======================================
The waves rush to the calling of Mother earth
The heartless rocks deny their reunion
=======================================
Man builds structures to reach the sky
The sky evades man's ugly hands.
=======================================
Shyness curled her toes,
Love stretched her arms.
=======================================
A feather floated to her destiny,
A rock fell to its end.
=======================================
Dark clouds in a coterie,
Decided to shroud the moon.
=======================================
The blind see the music
The deaf hear the music
It is you and I, who see nor hear
=======================================
His voice booms in thunder
His caress felt in breeze
His anger felt in wind's fury
His tears felt in rain drops
He lives.
=======================================
Time has no end,
It lives in my memories of you.
=======================================
