Prompts.. Cut, Endanger, Hazard..
I AM FULLY ALIVE...
Cut throat competition
between my own desires and wishes
each one wants to be
fulfilled first..
pushing and pulling
to stay on top of my list
how hazardous my
thoughts can be for
any of them at any moment...
well I am happy that still
they are not endangered species
and keep arriving in
small bundles everyday
It only shows that
I am fully alive
and life too is beautiful..

In a Haiku fromat...
Deep cut on my heart;
ah, trust can be a hazard,
endangering 'I'..
RS:)

desires and wishes certainly bring colour to life..i do admire how you can crystallise your thoughts into the haiku's that often accompany your longer poems..sometimes the head must rule the heart..jae
ReplyDeleteI too have battles going on - but without wishes or dreams, what would we strive for, work toward, or live for?!
ReplyDeleteyes life can be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree they can battle all they want as long as each of them keep showing up.
ReplyDeleteReally liked how you brought the words together in the haiku format.
ramesh, yep - you've caught the complexity of the
ReplyDeletehuman mind in your poem.
Luckily your cares are outweighed by the enduring fact that life is beautiful. 'I' is a very short word and often has illusions of grandeur. I loved both pieces.
ReplyDeletePowerful. Love the line "cut throat competition".
ReplyDeleteMay all the "I's" of our egos be endangered species making this heaven on earth.
I am fully alive
ReplyDeleteand life too is beautiful.. love this ending lines, beautiful poem.
Loved both the poem and the haiku ... truly satisfying !!!
ReplyDeleteThe thoughts are beautifully written, Sir. I liked the poem and the haiku both.
ReplyDeleteThe haiku was superb RS...
ReplyDeleteand the competition between our dreams and wishes is so ever lasting...Sometimes its actually tiring but then i too agree with you...thats what makes us feel alive... :)
