An Illusionary Support...

Prompt: Spectacles

An Illusionary Support...


Everything looks hazy
I remove and then clean
My spectacles....
and lo, it's all so
Beautifully visible
I put them on
And close my eyes
With the hope that
Those would be able to
Show me my inner space
A lot more clear
An illusionary support
To remove the illusions...

***


A Haiku too..


Costly spectacles
make her face look beautiful;
Yet she sees the same..

Safe Heaven, Alien Thoughts..

Written for Rebecca's Haiku My Heart..

and Leo's  Haiku Heights..

Safe Heaven, Alien Thoughts

Hit by speed

my world slows down;

morning walk

Morning walk

bright Sun on my face

pulls me strong

Pulls me strong

seeking an embrace;

I refuse

I refuse

and return back home;

safe heaven

***

Safe heaven;

I flap strange wings of

alien thoughts

RS:)

This post is reflecting my mood after getting a minor
 hit from a bike at a crossing as I went for my morning walk today...and
had to return home...by the grace of God and good wishes
of all the friends here I am fine and well...was a trivial accident
just thought of clarifying on the context....

Her Moment Of Happiness...

Written for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prompts: Excite, Sincere, Amuse..

 

Her Moment of Happiness..  

Sun rose quietly
And excited butterfly
 Looked at the rose
A very sincere look, that...
Rose responded
By slowly opening-up
 Butterfly fluttering her wings
With dreams in her eyes
Prepared herself
To meet the rose
When a couple of
Tiny laughing fingers
Snapped at the rose
And plucked it
Ah, butterfly wasn't amused
Neither was I
A silent observer
But that little girl
Struck by poverty
Wearing a torned frock
Embellished with
A pattern of joyous
Colourful flowers
Didn't bother
For she had found
Her moment of happiness
In a real one..  


***  

My attempt on a Haiku..  

Fake sincerity
No more amuses me, no;
singing birds excite..

Lopsided Movement Forward..

Written for
One Single Impression..

Prompt: Lopsided..

Lopsided Movement Forward..


Ah, how beautiful
Is this world of thoughts
I go beyond death too
What a freedom,
Chitchatting with Moon
And Stars and then
Saying goodnight to God
Who sits next to me
Watching and knowing
As I remove my wings
Keep them folded
Under my pillow
To wear them again
For a free flight
to the unknown
Slowly slipping into
Deep slumber
Immune to lopsided
Movement forward...
I choose my own
Speed and direction
In my own world of thoughts
oh, how beautiful..

**


And I attempt a Haiku format too....... :)


Lopsided
movement forward ;
tilted life..

I Walk On Wet Green..

I Walk On Wet Green..

Raindrops shine on

tips of dancing grass-blades;

I walk on wet green

***

I walk on wet green;

my happier feet connect
with my heart and soul 

____________

 Morning gifts

 joyous surprises;

her laughter..

Of What Substance This Heart Is Made Of..

Written for

Prompts: Pressure, beat, Substance..

Of What Substance
This Heart Is Made Of..

Gets all the beating, and
All the pressures, yet,
Keeps thinking, keeps wondering
Keeps beating
To the rhythm of life
Happily, untiringly, in spite
Of having got some weaker,
Oh, tell me God
Of what substance
This heart is made of…
Isn't it your dwelling
Where you keep hiding God 
Isn't it from where
All the love flows
Keen to enter any crevice
Any cracks in another heart
Capable of singing
And crying too quietly
In its own silent chambers
Oh, tell me God
Of what substance
This heart is made of..

Uneasy Bond Cracks

Written for:

Drawn, Uneasy, Crumble..

Uneasy Bond Cracks

I pull away as

my dreams crumble one by one;

Uneasy bond cracks;

Uneasy bond cracks;

truth leaks from behind the mask

weaved skillfully

Weaved skillfully

yet the holes bleed malice;

I am no more drawn

I am no more drawn;

dreams lie in a heap hoping

for newer bonds ..

Wind Choose Their Meaning..

a chain of independent haiku

Sun plays hide and seek;

confused sunflowers gleam with

splattered raindrops..

Splattered raindrops

bring a  story from the clouds;

melted words vanish

Melted words vanish

yet winds choose their meaning;

Sun plays hide and seek
