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!

OSI Prompt : Peace

Moving on

 Watching world same way

Life a repetitions

Moving in circle

Looking within cleaned

Mist on Eyes

Granting new vision

Now seeing better

I move on

Not stuck anywhere
