despair chews
at the edges of my mind
wanted : angel
~~~
a lone dewdrop
scintillating with sunlight
rapturous me
~~~
people come and go
with various kinds of baggage
railway station life
~~~
if life had wings
broken and bent they would be
but soaring still
~~~
drowned in the din
of humdrum daily life
soul waits
~~~
so many secrets
mined deep from earth-life
precious I hope
~~~
~~~
you look at me
a poem in your glance
shining silence
~~~
lamp and light
eternal conversation
darkness flees
~~~
the widow listens
sitting on empty bed
feeling him in her bones
~~~
rain and earth
in conversational embrace
seedlings sprout
~~~
Carpe Diem prompt – Conversation
deep within my soul
an ancient guru whispers oft
Brahman you are
~~~
Carpe Diem prompt – Journey to India
…
late afternoon light
slanting through half-shut shutters
catches me napping
🙂
the sun burns up
the remnants of the night
in unbridled glee
the curtain of sleep
parts in languid slow motion
lets in aliveness
senses awaken
in sweet celebration of
this thing called life
~~~
breaking through the shell
of night, dawn peeps, tremulous
at prisoner me
trying to break free
from a self-built prison
yet another day
as sleep fades like mist
and I wake yet again
into illusion
~~~
Carpe Diem prompt – the day begins
you had stood there
looking away, face closed
an ocean between us
~~~
our watery birthplace
that hums through our veins
and springs from our eyes
~~~
imagination’s
infinite tides wash up
little haiku pebbles
~~~
ocean breeze stirs up
brittle nests of memories
sand in my eyes
~~~
