Farewell

 

It will end,

Leaving within me aroma

Of many hearts who shared

Wishing you fare well

And do share, whenever you can

For my heart is richer now

With impressions you have left

Thank you for everything,

Keep in touch

Words not just said but felt

Circles

It defines

It includes

It attracts likes

It expands

It contracts

All around its center

Your circles define you

Yet you are not your circles

Remain centered

OSI Prompt : Circles

Permanent

Things change

People change

Seasons change…..

Yet there is a permanent in all

That remains unchanged

That keeps us together, 

In world real or virtual

Books or Blog or FB or G+

What change are medium, style and way of expression

Not its essence

Wherever you are

Whatever you do

We will be connected

In this love we feel

What change is around

Not the center

OSI Prompt : Change

My Friend

 Wrinkles on her face

Reveal her age

Not how lively is she

Know her well and

Get inspired to live

Again and again

OSI Prompt : Wrinkles

Not Fragile

Not Fragile

It has seen

My swinging moods

Her brazen ways

Ups and downs of life

Yet strengthen as we grow old,

For it is friendship

Not just relationship!

OSI Prompt : Fragile

Myth

In love life after life

Myth to others

Story of past life

Fact seen in sky

As a bright twin star

Called Arundhati & Vasistha

In love life after life

Myth it may be

Arise feeling real

Testimonial precious 

--

In certain Hindu tradition a couple after wedding is shown a twin star in sky by the priest. Couple is asked to see it once daily. The star is called Arundhati & Vasistha.

It is actually two stars revolving around each other, seen from earth as one.

Husband and wife should be like Vasishta and Arundhati – an ideal couple in Hindu mythology. No one is supposed to go around the other. Both go around each other and move together.

Some see me

Some see in me

Value poles apart

Written for Haiku Heights

Weak?

Driven to edge

By her hope

To be held in love

No complaint against those who pushed

Just sad, they are the ones

She yearned to be held by

Who else could?

With others she is careful

Not candid

OSO prompt : Weak

Flow

Words often fail to flow

Feelings not carried

Silence hardly fails

Rekindle

A song in car stereo

Lighted my mind and heart

Wanting to share with her, I park

I know she will understand

And we will be together

In that love for few moments

Before I reach for my mobile

It rings, she is on other side and

I hear same song in background!

OSI Prompt : Rekindle

Meaning of Life

Meaning of life

It is a blank canvas gifted to you

Fill it with colors you want, colors you like,

It is an open sky

Create your own rainbows,

It is a fertile land

Grow garden of your choice,

An album of pictures you choose to take,

It is a poetry you compose,

Story you write

And song you sing

Meaning of life is created by you, for you.

By design or by default!

Void

She is known for her managing skills

Things are well under her control

Be it at work, at home, in party, in picnic

All well managed

Yet she often feels sad

Especially at the end

Be it end of a working day or

When party is over

There is a void at every end

And

She is yet to master art of managing void

--

OSI Prompt : Feelings

Liquid

All she wants is to be treated as

One of them, part of them,

Adjusting with

Husband and in-laws,

Their ways, tastes, values,

Like liquid taking shape of the vessel

Alas she lost her own identity

Often she is made to wonder

If she is a part of them

Or like liquid that can be emptied

.....And replaced?

--

OSI Prompt : Liquid

Twilight

It is felt

Fading lights

Fading form

Dissolving slowly

Into nothing, nowhere

Yet 

it is awesomely beautiful

Like a newborn baby!

Soon day will end

To begin again with

Awesome beauty of twilight!

--

OSI Prompt : Twilight

God- sent

In gleam of Broadways

All faces bright and smiling

Difficult to say a friend from a foe

Many want to walk along

Share success and

Say what please ears

It takes times in shady back streets

To bring in light

Ones who really care

Shall we say times God sent?

--

OSI Prompt :  Broadway

Curtain

If I reveal it,

Seen by you is only a side facing you

Other sides remain unknown

If I say it,

Heard is only that reach you

Silent cry of my heart remains unheard

Is it not better to just let it be

Behind the curtain?

Curtain doesn’t curtail, it

Alleviates love, for

On its both sides is God,

In reasons as well in passion

Question is

‘Is HE in my heart?’

**

“Since you are a breath in God’s sphere

And a leaf in God’s forest,

You too should rest in reason and

Move in passion”

--Kahlil Gibran

--

OSI Prompt : Curtain

A leaf falls

A leaf falls.

Was it blown away by wind?

Or was tired of the tree?

Or tired of holding on?

Or was tree tired of it?

Or was wind and earth more alluring?

Does it matter?

A leaf falls.

A moment passed.

Live with new one.

Account of each leaf is kept

By time

And presented when existence demand,

Not for you & me to worry.

--

OSI Prompt : Moment

What hurts?

Right and wrong

Game mind plays

Argues for one or another as it suits

Casualty is Truth

Truth hurts no one

It includes
voice of mind

Beats of heart

Cravings and desires

Fragrance in air

Fear of running deer

Instinct of chasing tiger

Poison of cobra

Honey in womb of flowers

Dry desert

Swelling rivers

You and me and her and all

What hurts is not truth.

Truth heals

Truth understands

Hell with laws and rules

Logic and arguments

Drop that clutter

Listen to the song of your heart

Dance to that tune

Be closer to truth

--

OSI Prompt : Clandestine 

Clandestine?

She inquires

I deviate, uneasily.

She doesn’t know

I will not tell her

Intention is not to hurt her

For I love her

Still why it happens?

I wonder, lost in the world away

I do not have all answers

For who can claim to know the whole truth?

‘Don’t bother, take it easy’

Her casual remark, stroking my hair,

Brings me back to present

It takes us both closer to God

Closer to Truth

She certainly loves me more

--

OSI Prompt : Clandestine

Rainbow Happens

Transformation is a need

Nature goes through it

Warm to rainy to cold, warm again

So do man

Within and without

Transformation within connects to

Source of bliss

Peace fills

Joy overflows

Dance happens

Rainbow is seen

Till connected.

Warm to rainy to cold, warm again.....

OSI Prompt: Unlimited

Merging

You are with me

All the time

Your presence is felt

Be it sunset or sunrise

Be it cool or warm

Be it raining or sunshine

When alone or with others

Even in the moments of deep silence

When there is nothing

I feel your silence

Merging

Mine

You are with me

All the time

Embroidery

Gift of a Knitted heart

Helped stitch her

Wounded love

Yet scars remind painful past

Lost, at standstill

Moments pass

With a heavy sigh

Getting on with chores

She smiles at pain

Pinks, greens and blues

Splash of philosophical white

Embroidery of life

--

OSI Prompt :  Embroidery 

Strength

Heart bleeds red

Yet smile on face

Hiding pain

Love not just a reason

It is strength

Holds both, smile and pain

OSI Prompt: Heart

Haiku Heights Prompt: RED

Just a walk

I am here to walk some distance

To spot and enjoy beauty around

In places, in people,

In tales, in talks

In gardens, in jungle

In rain, in bathroom showers

In city roads and mountain tracks,

Magic I seek

To put smile on my lips

A song of love in my heart

Dance in my deeds and

Fragrance of friendship in air

For some distance I walk here

I am here to walk some distance

Charisma

 Charisma

Those eyes

Lock with mine for a few moments

A spark is ignited

Spellbound, I look back

Till she turns around the corner

This happened when I was in teens

Yet

Captivated I feel now

As glimpse of those eyes pass through mind

And I relive 

Those moments a little

OSI Prompt : 2013

It comes, it pass

So do you, so do I.

Call it time.

When it is

Feel it.

When not,

Empty –useless fill.

Call it time-pass.

What is left of me

Is balance of yet to come

As much, as such.

OSI Prompt : 2013

Retirement

Retirement

Now, just a tourist

Spotting and enjoying beauty

Whatever, Wherever, Whenever

 Interested in seeing, not seen

Not on the stage but in the audience

Enjoying, not entertaining

……retired from efforts

Of controlling world outside

An attitude not a stage in life 

--

OSI Prompt : Retirement

Bare Naked

Bare Naked

On a cool quiet of night

Alone

Rested facing sky wide open

I lie for a while

Calm and vastness

Combined

Play its magic…..

Soon I feel my breath

and

Hear my heartbeats

Slowly

Trivial frills drop

and

Truth revealed

Bare

Naked

--

OSI Prompt : Naked

Beautiful Emptiness

Felt like indulging in gossip

Just about to ring up a friend,

I halted….

A moment of awareness

Looked at

That emptiness, I was

Seeking to fill with useless gossip

Closer look revealed....

She is so beautiful,
this emptiness!

I looked at her closely

Dwelled in her for some time

And

She filled me!

There was no need to gossip!

No need to raid fridge!

No surfing TV aimlessly!

Enthusiasm for my new project took over!
