This is my 295th Post (Correcterd) as per the Dashboard... well the countdown begins.. for 300th...
First, a Haiku for Haiku Heights... Flaw..
Flawless act, a swish
Of jealous, he wipes out
My painting of trust
And a Poem for OSI Prompt : Crater..
Drawings of Illusions
As regret flowers
In the heart,
Craters of doubt
Appear in mind
But then slowly light
Begins to emerge
From the depths
And I clearly
See the truth shining
I have been seeing myself
Based on what I think
But people see me
Based on what I do
Ah, what a gap that
A wide crater, perhaps..
Can I reduce it…yes,
For that I need to wipe out
Drawings of Illusions
Depicting myself, that
I have drawn
Deep inside on the walls
Of my own mind
Perhaps on those blank walls
Will emerge a picture
Of a truer me,
Free from doubts and regrets
Am I talking about
Utopia turning into reality..
*****
For Jingle's Poetry Potluck..
Mask fell ,
Oh, in that one instant
Friendship died..
After a few days
As ill luck would have it
God took another away
For me it was same
Alas, I had lost
Both the friends..
I love haiku. Superb. It is so easy for someone to wipe out what takes dedication. Be it painting, trust or carefully built business.

Hi Ramesh,
ReplyDeleteYour words flow on the healing path. I too am on that path but for myself. I lost me. And now my ego mind has been laid to rest and I love the new me of living from my spirit. It has opened my eyes to the truth. Like buda I meditate every day now. And I believe your sisters spirit is still with you. She may be your guardian angel now. I send you a BIG HUG and lots of healing energy. Thank you for stopping by. I so enjoy hearing from you. As you are truly a kind and wonderful spirit.
"I have been seeing myself
ReplyDeleteBased on what I think
But people see me
Based on what I do" This was a very enlightening line for I do the same. Such a sad poem in the final, losing friends is devastating
