Let Me Continue to Love Myself..

He penetrates deep into

My psyche,

Mumbles something,

The tone drags me

Into making an attempt

To understand myself

In that moment

A whole life had gone by
Indulging constantly
In futile exercises
Of understanding others
Leaving a deep vacuum
In my own inner space

Will that ever get filled-up

But then, hasn’t vacuum
Become a habit
Won’t filling it up actually
Create a void between

Reality and my perception

Of reality, hey, let me

Continue to love myself..

A Kiss With Their Destiny..

My second spontaneously created contribution for OSI : Wheat.. and also sharing with The Gooseberry Garden... it just happened so thought of sharing...

A Kiss With Their Destiny..

I see grains of wheat

Getting crushed in the machine

Transforming into
White smooth flour
Essential to make
‘Rotis’, which when puffed up
On flames of fire,
Become my food..

Isn’t there a lesson here
Sometimes it becomes
Essential to get crushed
By the time and circumstances
To evolve and find

The true meaning of

One’s existence... to

Be able to give and serve..

As the thought hits

Unaware I pick up

A few Grains of wheat

In my hand, and lo,

How they plead to

Let them join with others

To have their first and last crush

A kiss with their destiny

I release them

Awaiting their transformation

And perhaps mine too..

Happily I breathe..

Written for OSI Prompt : Wheat...  Haiku Heights :  Breathe

A haiku...that stems from my heart...

Aroma of raw wheat
From the puffed-up ‘Roti’

Happily I breathe..

We hail from Punjab, so my wife, when she came to know about this prompt expressed spontaneously...

"What will we eat

If there were no Wheat"

And a  surprised me

Exclaimed, "How sweet!"

I Will Steal Moments to Read a Sidney Sheldon....

Hello to  all at Rebecca's Haiku My Heart... a special chain of haikus... hope you will enjoy...

I Will Steal Moments to Read a Sidney Sheldon...

Ah, stars shine down

The other side of midnight

If tomorrow comes

Windmills of the Gods
The doomsday conspiracy

Rage of angels, yes..

Master of the game

A stranger in the mirror

Oh, the naked face

The best laid plans, ah,

Nothing lasts forever, the

Sands of time, bloodline

The sky is falling
Memories of midnight, are

You afraid of dark

Morning, noon and night

I will steal moments to read

A Sidney Sheldon

I offer this series of haikus as a tribute to Late Sidney Sheldon , my favourite writer of suspense who would make me sit on the edge as I would reach towards a nail-biting finish..  Awe-struck by the twists in the stories...

My Ego Stole My Weakened Wings...

I was smoothly gliding

A lovely flight that

Winds suddenly turned

Furious and strong

And I remembered the lesson

“Adapt and Lie low;
Let the winds settle”
But my ego hidden
Under my wings

Prevailed and I embarked

Upon a futile flight

Against the winds

As the energies depleted

My ego stole

My weakened wings

And thankfully flew away,

I am now growing

New wings quietly
Under the happy

Care of my inner being

I see my sky turning bluer

As the clouds melt..

****

“Adapt and lie low”

Words come gliding from skies, fall

Just ahead of me..

Two Extremes of Humanity..

Written for 'The Gooseberry Garden' with the theme...

Adam and Eve...

Two Extremes of Humanity.. 

Adam and Eve

Came back to have a look
At the world
And an amazed Eve exclaimed,
“ Adam, all this chaos
Six billion and counting;
Just because serpent

Tempted us  and we

Ate the forbidden fruit

My God, tell me,

why could we not foresee?”
And that’s the crux

Incapable of seeing the

Future; man has kept on
Eating forbidden fruits

Of many a kind...

Giving birth to great spectacles

Of  Evil; but then good

Too has had its share

Well, the world shall continue

With Light and dark

Taking their turns...

Pray, to stay bathed in light

****

Haiku a must for me, well it's here..

Had Adam and Eve,

Left the apple there, we won’t

Have this theme today...
