A Monument of Broken Dreams

Before the main title here's a haiku, written for Haiku Heights Prompt: Sacred ( 2)

Sun, the only one
Without a darker side, God's
Sacred creation..


Written for OSI Prompt Monument(2)

A Monument of Broken Dreams

Now that I turn in to
A monument of broken dreams
Stand beside me & smile
As you will get clicked
To become a raving news
Overnight, let people find us
Smiling together at least once,
You for obvious reason
Of standing in front of camera
As the architect of the
monument
And I for having
Finally become something
Of note, to be written about...



The only thing I felt good about such a monument is that it
would never get a chance to be called ancient ever, for its life is too short
as new dreams would be plucked from the skies of imagination..

I have added this inspired by what Harshadji mentioned in his comment..

  2. In the sun, atoms
    Burning in a great furnace:
    Sacred sacrifice.

    Cheers!

  8. Words from a heart. Can feel it.

    Well, every monument is momentary and has to go with time. This bigger picture in mind makes pain less painful.

    Lots of love. I like your poems.

  14. Pyaara Dost,
    Good Morning!
    I used to comment for your posts but they do get deleted within five minutes;it happens in the blogs of my other friends.So,I am trying now copy and paste.
    Sun,yes,the sacred creation.I remember my Achan[Father]praying to Sun GOD early in the morning when the sun rises and he always used to chant the sacred shlokas.
    Who knows the feelings of the architect while doing the creation?He must be fulfilling his dreams,giving shape to the monument.Together the monument and artichet are complete.
    Lovely lines,dost!
    Wishing you a beautiful day ahead,
    Sasneham,
    Anu
