GEMS LOST!!

Many a times
Finer point of life seen
In the course of living,
Gets drained with clutters in mind

A gem is lost






When clutters are cleared
Point seen becomes bright as crystal
And
Gets shape into words

--

OSI Prompt : Crystal

It is never too late...

Go knock

Again and again

Don’t take no as an answer

It’s never too late

You have plenty to give

Do not worry

Open your door

It’s never too late

Road may seem to be long

Start your journey

Every step adds to your strength

It’s never too late

You may be alone

Don’t wait for others to join

Follow they will on trail you make

It’s never too late

Listen to call of your heart

Only one life for it to live

Say yes to life,

What are you waiting for?

Why postpone?

It’s never too late ……..to live

Take off.

OSI Prompt : waiting

Wanting

Roots want so tree lives,
Mother wants so children can be fed,
Earth wants to be quenched so seeds can sprout,
Call it selfless wanting

Trees give shade
And flowers give fragrance unasked,
Sun gives light and
Fruits get consumed giving,
Call it giving that fulfills self

What touches heart more,
Selfless wanting
 or
Giving that fulfills self?

Ordinary

Ordinary looks

Deeply appealing thanks to

Beautiful soul

Beautiful soul

Touching hearts around

Magnetic pull

Magnetic pull

Ordinary looks though

Fans many

Haiku Heights Prompt : Ordinary

My empty cup

Sitting on a sea shore I see
A pit dug by kids playing

Often filled by waves
As soon as waves recede
It gets empty again

Kids bring water by buckets trying to fill it
But it is soon drained
They try hard
Efforts are frustrating

Only sea can fill it

A smile passes my face

--
OSI Prompt : Wanting

Honey Bee

Hopping from one flower to another

Being with one now

Another then,

To each one fullness of my heart  

True with everyone

Nature has created me as such

I am in harmony

True to my heart

True in my love

True with everyone

I don’t cheat

Never holding back a piece of myself

Pure and chaste

Close to God

In love with life

True with everyone

And they call me fickle hearted!

--
OSI Prompt : Fickle

In love with life...

Though I no longer can

Climb Mountains

Cross rivers

Track miles

Or swing in parties,

I still have a throbbing heart

And write few words

That reaches other side of the world

……..And may be, touch hearts there

OSI Prompt : In love with life

Black and White

Neither here nor there, Inbetween

Neither yes nor no, considering

Neither doing nor leaving, trying

Neither this side nor that, on the fence

Neither king nor soldier, diplomat

Neither ecstatic nor doomed, searching peace

--

OSI Prompt : Black & White

I salute you

I salute you

I salute you 

for

Your keen sense of duty

Your courage

Your poise against pointed finger

And calm against abusive language

Your silence then and now

I do not know your name

Ramesh, Raheman or Rustom

And it does not matter,

Let me tell you every common man

Respect you,

Love you in his heart

For what you are –

A dignified common man

Common man sees himself in you

Please accept his warm regards

You need not speak,

Just nod.

He will understand.

OSI Prompt by Leo:   Black & White

Above picture is of a security guard pointing way out to Mr. Khan (A star in Mumbai Film Industry) who is aggressively pointing finger at him. Guard held his ground.

-

Blushing

Looking down

Hiding passion

Scared little, more excited

Not wanting to say no, afraid to say yes

Waiting for a move

She lifted eyelids slowly

To find what he holds in his eyes but

Dropped it quickly

To hide what she holds in her own,

Heart beating loud

Color of her face

Said it all.
