A Pair of Doves Sing...



Here's for all my firends at Haiku My Heart....and everywhere else..



Blooming flowers wave
Smoothly gliding in the sky
A pair of doves sing…

A pair of doves sing
Songs of love, and blissfully
I am here to hear

I am here to hear
Ah, the unseen sounds speak
Nature talks to me

Nature talks to me
And I close my eyes to touch
Soft texture of words

Soft texture of words
Feels good and my spirit soars,
To glide, sing and glide

To glide, sing and glide
It’s so very beautiful
Sheer happiness, that!!



Thanks, Rebecca... these are my small cups of Tea.. hope you will enjoy them along with all other friends...  You are a blessing ... : ))

Oh, That Makes Me Shudder…3WW

Written for 3 WW... Jiggle, Early, Quality..


Oh, That Makes Me Shudder…


His mind jiggles in a flash
Never lets a difficulty touch
Alert pair of eyes
Keeps a watch all around
Rises early, walks, meditates
Stays in touch with nature
Cherishes being with the
Butterflies, flowers,
Chirping birds, dancing trees.
Loves to listen to
Rustling sounds of leaves
Melody of winds
Can’t ever miss a chance
Of playing with Moon
And the stars
Dares to hold sunbeams
Directly on his face
Combines so well
Pride and humility
Ah, what a quality of life
The man lives happily
In my inner space somewhere
Yet I know he is nowhere
Sometimes shows himself
In my cravings and hopes
How I want to be like him
It makes me wonder –
Is he the ‘other’ me
My opposite …..
Oh, That makes me shudder..



****

And here's a  Haiku... has to be.. difficult prompts.. but then could create one.. hope you see me jiggling too..

I jiggle early
Prick of needle doesn’t feel
Quality work , that!


Comments make me add here as a clarification... I was just mentioning about the competence of a Sister in a hospital... But then needle has this feel about getting connected with something negative..

There will be a new sunrise..

Haiku for Haiku Hrights... and OSI


Phantoms of envy
Weave strings of doubt, tying mind
In the rot of knots. …


Poem for OSI : Phantom...




There will be a new sunrise..

Oh, it had been intense
Betrayed by his own
Shunned by masks around
Wondering about life
He was sitting alone
At home, with
Everything gone
Dreams had often danced
Around him but
Where were they hiding
In those moments
Of turmoil
Without any hope
For a tomorrow,
Footfalls of moments
Got heavier with voices
Screaming in his mind
Oh, all this was unbearable
Pain took its toll,
He blacked out, and when
Opened his eyes,
It was a new sunrise
Light pierced through
The window, and he too
Suddenly felt light
What a realization
In spite of all the turmoil
He had passed through
A day and it had
Turned out to be
Just one simple truth
Sunrise meant that
Night had passed
Phantoms of fear and doubts
Dissolved themselves
In the light of
New awareness for
Their own salvation
It was indeed
A matter of living one day
Everyday… and that’s
From where he
Made a new beginning
Day by the day
Years have gone by
Whenever pain is intense
One thing keeps him going
He will have to just
Open his eyes
There will be a new sunrise..
And sometimes he wonders
If eyes too betray
And he laughs..
Then nothing would matter…

Friday Haikus for Haiku My Heart..

With all its ups and  downs, joys and tragedies...life just moves on... good or bad..doesn't matter... darkest of nights pass ...sun rises.. again...


A breezy morning
Pleasant and joyous, I hug
A tree to thank God….


****



"I burn to  give you
Light," says Sun; Earth responds by
Quietly receiving..

I Take the Option..

Written for 3WW...  Indecision, Option , Fate


I Take the Option..

Indecision ?

Never.
No, I never
Get stuck up
Whenever on cross roads
I choose
I decide
I take the option
Of leaving it to fate, and
I move forward.…

My Three Hundredth Post...

MY 300TH POST..

Thanks to all... OSI, Haiku Heights,
Haiku My Heart, 3WW
Jingle Poetry Potluck...and all others who have
 inspired and encouraged...


First a Haiku to celebrate with OSI... prompt 'Respect '


Wow, good to see you
Blessing my three hundredth, hey,
My respect and thanks..


And a  Verse for OSI

I talk good of you
Oh, that could be my tact
I think good of you
That means I truly respect..

Now the Poem


World May Never See Another Epic..





Winds respected and carried with them
Myriad tales of travelers told by trees
And words spread slowly
Turning them into intriguing stories

Stories then got quietly whispered
In many of more than willing ears
Discerning minds with their imaginations
Kept on adding narration over the years

Years saw them getting transformed into
Epics of thousands and thousands of pages
Embellished by discerning souls on the way  
Original authors from among ancient sages

Sages who spent years and years
Evolving into wisdom’s glowing rays
Spreading light, blessing humanity
One can’t find them around today

Today’s winds also don’t carry any tales
For none shares with trees things specific
It’s indeed a matter of grave concern
That world may never see another Epic..

Epic is a careful recording of journeys
Of lives undertaken by a few souls blessed
Wonder if one records one’s own life
With all ups & downs, could it be an Epic, yes..

Yes, but for that let one first win one’s own mind
And become as responsible as ancient kings
As brave as soldiers who conquered the evil
Then only the tales will be carried by winds…
