connection


Connection

Thanks to smiles
To my small gestures,
Thirsty soul feels quenched
Loved and esteemed.
Small relief seen on faces
Connects me in that moment to
Infinite source of bliss

Indebted I am to
Those smiles.

“In dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed” – Khalil Gibran

Soul


Soul



Godliness in a flower
Excitement in a contest
Fun in a party
Emptiness in a lonely
In you, me
In this table, chair…..
In trees and birds and clouds….everywhere,



Cannot be seen
Cannot be described or portrayed.
But known within,
More so when
See a dead






….Death in a dead.

A strict Teacher


A strict teacher

A teacher
Stiff and hard,
For him
Rules are rules!

Observe them
Follow them
Meet deadlines
Maintain standards high

Right on time
No mistakes
No mess ups
Or force to amend
For rules are rules

Any violation
Meets with set of rules
Rules and more rules
For rules are rules

Oh! Rules,
Invincible Wall of rules
Surrounding him!

In alumni meet
Anxious, inquiring
About each student,
Holding tears in his moist eyes
Wall seen pierced
Revealing a soft heart

Rules are just rules

Thanks !


Thanks
…for remaining unchanged.


It was god’s blessing that we met.
I loved you,
You loved me.
Years have past since then.


You have changed a lot,
I have changed a lot,
And the world has changed a lot.


Isn’t it a miracle that
You love ‘changed me’ &
I love ‘changed you’,
In this ever changing world?


Isn't it God’s blessing?
--which has remained unchanged.


Thank God.

Renewal?


Renewal?

Spot a familiar face
on face book

Is it she?

Color of hair, complexion
And wrinkles can deceive, but
Spark in those eyes bear out

Floodgates of memory open up,
….College campus,
Canteen, Library, Cycle stand……

Scene pass in front of my eyes
 afresh and clear as new,
Forty years have passed although!

Feeling light as a gliding bird
I look for more information about her
But…….
It is for friends only!

 I send a request for friendship!!!!

**

Ocean to Drops of falling rain:

“You were always a part of me,
You experienced a different world for a while,
Welcome back renewing ties!

Let us merge again
To be one
For we were never two!

**

Christmas blessings shower
Everlasting love, parting and merging
May just be fun!”

Knight!!


Knight!!



I need no one to talk
Just someone to share

I need no one to attend
Just one who cares

I need no escort
Just a friend

I need no one to free me
Just to hold me

No knight to ride
Just a lover to love me!

Light




Light reveals only a part
Making world an interesting place,
Whole remain unknown

Haiku Heights Prompt : Light

Which is a Fool’s Paradise?


Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

A world of their own
Where love is everything,
Nothing is more important
Not security, nor future
Nor prestige, nor power…. 
Floating in love
Living for love

They are told
“It is not practical
Reality of life is different!”
And
In practical world
One keeps on working for security
Yet feels insecure…….
 Keeps running after power
 Yet always short of it!!

Called mad by their clan
Jonathan Livingston seagull or
Meerabai or …….
