Written for OSI Prompt... Stillness
And last haiku for Haiku Heights...'self'..
Slice Me Deep.....
Stillness of lake
Makes me think of her depth
I reflect on mine
I reflect on mine
But then where is it
Can’t even feel
Can’t even feel
Hey, cut my inner being
Throw sharp words
Throw sharp words
At unexpected hours
Slice me deep
Slice me deep
Each day by hurling hurts
Let it go deeper
Let it go deeper
Help me endure the pain
Feeling some depth
Feeling some depth
I want to quietly reach to
Meet a calmer me
Meet a calmer me
On the edge, being with
Stillness of lake…
Stillness of lake
Hugs my ‘calmer’ Self, says
“Welcome, home!”

ReplyDeleteStillness of lake hugging the calmer self...wonderful
Awesome poetry I must say. The best part is how succinctly you can express so many feelings in 4 lines. So beautiful, yet so touching.
ReplyDeleteFascinating poem. The repetition of "slice me deep' is a wonderful expression of the depth of longing. Great poem, very enjoyable read, even considering the dark theme. Take care and hope all is well. Thanks for visiting my site, I will have to read through some of your poetry. Take care and hope all is well,

ReplyDeleteSuch a creative way of expressing the peacefulness of home!

ReplyDeleteWonderful Compilation Rameshji.. I loved it..
ReplyDelete--Someone is Special--
Ramesh, the words take you deep down where we eventually must reflect and feel about but invariably don't...
ReplyDeleteNice!

ReplyDeleteyou are truly impressive

ReplyDeleteI love writing longe haikus as well. This was perfect and the last stanza was so true- nicely done!!!
ReplyDeleteOh what would I not give to meet a calmer me... or at least to meet the old me
ReplyDeleteRegards
OMG - Ramesh -- this is awesome ... very layered with depth!! The journey within and to the depths is incredible to discover the wealth your true self contains. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend ~~ becca
ReplyDeleteI second Becca..this is simply OMG!! one can learn the technique n the form but the thought process is sheer ingenuity..u continue to amaze us, haiku after haiku :)
ReplyDeleteThis journey-in-haiku is a classic. Sheer brilliance!
ReplyDelete(may I suggest that it wouldn't hurt to change 'hurts' into hurt - although it appears to be singular, this can have a plural connotation, though I'm sure there are people out there better qualified to explain it than me!)
best wishes
