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

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

Strength

Heart bleeds red

Yet smile on face

Hiding pain

Love not just a reason

It is strength

Holds both, smile and pain

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
