Navigating My Inner Space..

Written for 3WW...

Navigating My Inner Space..

In moments strange
soul demands a
a little chat
with my 'self'
oh, navigating my innerspace
to reach her
brings crinkles on my heart
mind doesn't bother
as it doesn't belong
to anything internal
for that matter..

Reaching the Top Alone..

Written for Bluebell Books Short Story Slam Challenge:

Hello, bluebell books short story slam officials, I agree to have my work self published in your Love In Creativity Project.

Reaching the Top Alone..

He was nine then.
Climbing up a mountain,
he aimed to be the first
to reach the top.
Friends were left behind.
Going up faster,
he reached the top.
A temple stood there.
Looking around,
he found he was alone.
Fear overtook him.
A lesson was learnt.
He never tried to
reach the top alone. (55)

Let Your Spirit Glow..

Written for The Haiku Challenge 2012 -
16 – February 16th – Theme or Word: Sin
Form: Haibun

Ah, getting trusted

and then choosing betrayal;

mind sins sans soul..

Whenever I find someone putting all his trust in me; taking me around the darker corners of his inner-space, I have always felt that at that moment I am receiving the greatest compliment: “You are trusted.” But, how difficult it is to hold on to someone’s secret. Sometimes it becomes difficult but then that is the test. If you succumb and share the same with another then one thing is sure: Pleasure of being a trust worthy person will be lost.

Mind will be committing a Sin of Heart.

Soul would be absent in those dark moments..

Temptation will be greater when betraying someone would mean some material gain for you. But then, a part of your spirit would die. Getting trusted is a glowing tribute anyone can ever get. Let your spirit glow. Be trustworthy. God bless! (150)
