Cracks Began to Appear In My Reverie

Written for Haiku Heights Prompt: Mystic and OSI Prompt: Fancy

Eyes meet , smile stems
You envy and call it a fancy,
For me its mystic..


Written for OSI Prompt: Fancy

First a haiku..keeping with my own passion

Earth cuddles in
A blanket of clouds, Moon looks
On, fancies warmth…


Cracks Began to Appear In My Reverie

Deep inside him
Somewhere, lives a giver
But with a weak voice, who
Appears to be getting snubbed
By the surroundings…
Relationships get weaved
Offering threads of trust
But then others entangle
Yarns of selfishness
Not able to make the difference
Continues to be an
Arrogant child, with soft
Soul perhaps made of wax
That can melt on
A little hint of warmth
Which stays away
Failing to penetrate
The thick walls built around
By the sycophants
Yet, wants to explore skies
Of love and humility
But then wings of gold
May be heavier
For such a fanciful flight
Wish he could make it
At least once
Won’t mind lending him
Some wings of thoughts
Capable of taking him
To newer, happier skies
But will he ever ask…
May be not, doesn’t even know
For, it’s not him, but I
Who have been weaving
Such dreams for him
Without realizing, that
He has his own dreams
To follow, to pursue
And it took time but then
Cracks began to appear
In my reverie, and I have tried
And have quietly detached myself
To slip back into my own space
May God help me weave
My own happier dreams
Wings of thoughts will help me
Explore depths and heights
Of a shimmering new world
Yes, it has taken me eons to break
High walls of illusion
And take a leap..
Ah, finally I’m breathing freedom..
It’s not my fancy, it’s for real

Stars Play in Shimmering Light

Written for HAIKU MY HEART


Moon hides each fortnight
Stars craving to get their chance
Sparkle happily


*****


Children, stars on earth,
Wait for the full Moon, play
In shimmering night

Fragile Tremors Rock


Written for 3WW
and Haiku My Heart


Mild tremors born out
Of rampant betrayals each day
Test my fragile heart


****


Fragile tremors rock
My sleep, Sun’s rampant knocks
On window work.

Poetry Pot Luck : Love & Romance



From one of my old posts.. specifically in respect of the theme , oh, how I wish to practice it all the time .. life would be so much more beautiful..


Letting 'love' to Be
That's love to me !



***

Dedicated to my wife of 28 years on Indian Festival of 'Karva Chauth..'
A fasting day that women particularly from North India celebrate seeking God's blessings for husband's longer life ... a tradition.. that still continues..


It's God's grace
That I see my reflection
In your face...

And pray that you
See yours in mine
Real and true

A beautiful life
In spite of me, thanks,
For being my wife..

A Mole on a Dame’s Chin



Written for OSI Prompt : GraceHaiku Heights Prompt: Optimistic
Haiku:

Flowers Are Optimistic

Nature breathes grace;

Flowers are optimistic
Bloom happily..


****


A Mole on a Dame’s Chin
Beaming moon and sparkling stars
Singing butterflies, smiling flowers

A star studded unending sky
To explore, birds happily fly

A Cuckoo’s sweet morning song
Door bell’s melodious ding-dong

An earth full of sunlight
A rainbow’s delicious sight

Snow-clad high mountains
Whistling streams, flirty fountains

A little child’s cute smile
How the happy moments pile

A mole on a dame’s chin
A monkey’s naughty grin

Laughing and dancing trees
A cool and humming breeze

Ah, a solitary morning’s walk
When all the good things talk

Plenty of colorful toys
Life’s lovely little joys

Grace of God plentiful & abound
Feels so nice and good to be around

Enjoying such delicacies of life
Oh, it's so much fun to be alive

Let’s remember those who are not
And let them live in our thoughts..

Haiku My Heart



Colourful baloons
Melt with skies and vanish
Just like my dreams...



***



Happy Earth, receives
Rains and feels warmth of skies
Moon sees & hopes
