I WAIT FOR A HUG..

Joy & happiness

ride on New Year's shoulders;

ah, I am watching

Ah, I am watching,

some distance in between;

I wait for a hug

I wait for a hug;

sunnier Sun, brighter Moon,

happier flowers

Happier flowers

as naughty butterflies nudge; 

renewal around

Renewal around;

ride on New Year's shoulders,

joy and happiness

Magic of Moments

Tedious, Detonate, Limber..


Magic of Moments

Quietly walking through
Some tedious paths
She limbers up, of course,
Detonation needs focus
And some real effort
Not easy to blast the one
Whose heart beats
Inside your heart..
Often ignition doesn’t work
Wrong buttons get pushed
And no exception
This one more time
It happened like that
She faced him, he smiled
And then she too
Lo! Magic of moments make
the bundle of anger melt..
It happens, isn't it..

The child of prosperity

To think and to write..

THIRD ANNIVERSARY POST

Written for prompts at 3WW and OSI...
with thanks to all others.. Few Miles
Haiku Heights, Haiku My Heart and
JP at Olive Garden


Where No More Shadows Linger


No, I realise now
It wasn't right on my part
to implicate him
along with my own fate
that conspired to 
destroy my perceived future
Present appeared
to be 'present' because
I was alive and breathing
Oh, it was indeed a stretch
Of my own imagination
whereas truth always
hung there in the mind:
"I had attracted all
that  happened to me,
I was the cause".
It was never about 'Me'
but it was not about "Him" too
and that was alright,
He  had a  right
to be in love with himself..
as much as I had
why should I struggle
to prove something
That did not exist..
Today I understand
that I needed to be wiser
This is what confuses me -
-does this understanging
make me any wiser...
If so then perhaps
Three Years of constant
flow of thoughts here has 
brought me to a place
where life laughs without fear
where life dances with gay abundance
where life dreams the impossible
where heart and mind know each other
where love is all that is left with me
where it's not about "Him or them"
where it is all about living happily
in my own small world
where no more shadows linger
All because of this space
And the love I received here
from all the discerning friends
who often visit leaving behind their
gifts of smiles and energies behind
and trust me I pick them all
as that becomes my own armour
against all that is darker....
You can see the light here
don't you on this Third Anniversary
of A LITTLE MORE THAN ORDINARY...


^^^^^^^^^^

        
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE FRIENDS IN THE BLOGGING WORLD....YOUR VISITS AND ENCOURAGING COMMENTS KEEP ME GOING....YOU ARE ALL KINDER SOULS WHO LOVE TO SHARE AND GIVE...

Well a Haiku is a must on the occasion:

An year went
and then another
we exist..

We exist
because of our thoughts;
love and share...

Let Me Call It Life...

Compromise, Decision, Forward

Let Me Call It Life...

Moving forward
doesn't mean compromising
So, I chose to stay-put
A decision like that
for me at that time meant
I was moving forward

Stuck heart-deep
in my own web of values
I could feel the vibrations
A new world was emerging slowly
I too got ready to merge
Something had kept moving
Let me call it 'life'
You know it can be felt..

I Take Out Woollens..

Prompt: Nature

From my book "A Little More Than Ordinary.."

Exclaim fresh leaves
And dry ones cry,
"No please, no please"

subdues fury of the Sun;

Spontaniety Can Vanish

Prompt: Illustrate, False, Sallow

Confession

No false pretensions
But I find it difficult to use
the word 'Sallow' properly
No, I don't even have
Any idea to create
Even an illustration
Well doesn't matter
If I am sometimes loved
As magician with words, still
I  am a human and
Spontaniety can vanish
For a few moments
Breaking the flow..
While making this confession
Trust me, my skin is
Not turning sallow...
Some words
Deserve respect, na..
