His Bites of Roti.. ..Haiku

Prompt: Expectation

Pigeon gently lands

on her kitchen's window sill;

his bites of "roti"

and sometimes:

darkness descends and

she looks at her window sill;

dried bits of "roti " 

Pigeon expects her to offer "Roti" and 
she expects him to come and eat...yet:

Pigeon gently lands,

doesn't find his bites of roti;

window is closed

Another morning;

fluttering of pigeon's wings,

music to her ears

RS:)

"Roti" is a Hindi word for kind of Indian Bread..

Morning's Miracle..

Rebecca's Haiku My Heart

She opens the door

and lo, sun walks in her room ;

morning's miracle

Morning's miracle;

soft sunbeams make her sing

as cuckoo too joins ..

RS:)

I see a candle getting lit..

Exquisite, Magnificent, Crisp

I  See a Candle Getting Lit..

None can take away
the joyous vibrations and 
the elation one experiences 
while saying or hearing 
delicious words like
"Magnificently beautiful, 
Exquisitely fabulous,
Splendidly glittering
Marvelously glowing...
Wow...it's superb.."
Doesn't matter if winter 
descends on some hearts
Yet compliments make 
Ice too  feel the warmth
Ah, I  see a candle getting lit..


**

Her crisp compliment
leaves a magnificent taste;
exquisite timing

Isn't It Time for New Resolutions....

Whenever my heart

wants me to represent

myself through it 

my mind turns combative 

and invites unwanted thoughts

turning my mood sluggish

I often wonder

why should it not 

let me "be" my 'heart'

Why do I have to be 

only my 'mind'

Just like any other combative

interference I  find

my dreams getting killed..

This war between

my heart and mind is often

silently witnessed by my soul

Spurred by its silence

sometimes, oh, sometimes

I do succeed in 

snubbing my mind 

and let my heart come

to the fore to represent me

and those days are never 

heavy or sluggish

They bring speed and joy

which I really cherish...

I know that I will have 

to be stronger

than my mind and heart

to support my soul

Well, then I ask you

isn't it time for new resolutions...

Combative hare

and the sluggish tortoise;

life represented
