Silence and wants

 Silence   and   wants

After rapid spirited climb

To the peak

…….Warm breathe cooling and slowing,

Still feeling pleasing pain 

of pulled hair

Head resting over her heart…..

Hear pounding of her heart beats

Dhak…..dhak ….dhak

Her hand moving in my head

Playing with hair,

Her heart beats loud and clear

Dhak……………….dhak ……………….dhak

Pause between two beats

more spacious.

In that space

I vanish.

Remain

Just..... silence

…….No wants

Just silence

For a few moments.

(Silence visits in many ways. Are we there to receive?)

OSI Prompt : Silence

Dream

D r e a m

It must be there

Buried

Deep beneath where

My awareness could not reach.

Surfaced in my unawareness

Touched my heart,

Filled me with affection

I had known only playing in his lap

But not since then

In the morning, still

Traces of that experience lingering within, I

Searched and found old family album

Looked at my uncle’s picture and

Thanked him

For visiting me last night.

It must be there

Buried

Deep within,

What I had known playing in his lap

But not since then.

Flying happens only in dream

One Single Impression : Uncomfortable Encounter

One Single Impression: Uncomfortable encounter

The lady was very nice to her

She too reciprocated

But not relaxed,

Having encroached on her exclusive rights

Feeling guilty

More so

After the lady said

"I too worked as his secretary,

Before we got married."

Dreams

Some air, some food, some water….

So simple

So easy to fulfill,

So little it takes and

Release,

Energize to

Roam, fly… enjoy

Call it needs

So complex

Satisfy one and

Other bigger is standing by,

Binding,

Keeps heavy and grounded,

Call it wants

Flying happens only in dreams.

OSI Prompt : Phantom

Respect

Respect

You are you

I am me.

We may see same

Yet

Perceive differently

Think differently

Understand differently

Express differently

For

You are you

I am me

I may or may not

Understand or agree

But do respect you

For

You are you

I am me

…… and that is what makes

Us!

To see and accept difference,

Is respecting HIM

Who created 

You

me

All.

You are you

I am me

Ordered?

Explosion at one place

Crater

And tsunami caused elsewhere!

Is it ordered

Or is it random

Or randomly ordered

Or ordered to be random?

Is there an order?
