Friends

Friends

Two kids

Looking at a balloon in sky, 

Feelings in their heart

Make them laugh.

Friends they are

Moment brings them closer

Friendship felt.

Two adults

Logic runs high

They see balloon in sky,

Balloons have different meaning for each

Different feelings in each

Yet it brings them closer

For they care for each other’s feelings

Hearts of two friends are connected

Like hearts of two kids,

Logic in its place

Dare not come in the way.

OSI Prompt : Friend

Call of a Balloon

Light and colorful

 Going higher and higher

As high as I can

And still further….

Nothing holds me

In my single minded pursuit

…. to reach my highest

No looking back

No holding back

No intentions to return

My let go is complete

Reaching higher

I will disappear,

Clinging not

Hearts looking at me from the ground

Connect with me

Some smile, some sigh!

Crystals

No makeup or youth
Beauty sparkles through eyes

OSI Prompt : Crystal

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

To Mother Nature

 To Mother Nature

Let me

Toast and drink to

Her Goodness

For I feel loved by her

No matter

How I destroy

And disturb the balance

Of her vital elements

For my small comforts

And

Yet pretend to be ignorant,

Both of my acts

And her love!

Moods

Moods

Blues of life

Can take away nothing

When pinks prevail

Haiku Heights Prompt :Blue

Elements Lost

Beautiful fishes

Long and swift

Playing around sea plants

In deep within

So beautiful, mesmerizing

Sometimes Golden

Sometimes pink, blue…..

…..Different moods

Wanting to show them to you,

I try to shape them in words

Add sketch or photos

But at best is a very poor mock up

I still persist

Trying to bring those deep water beings

Into dry air

And present to you  

But

Dead fishes

Elements lost

Please see my limitations

And forgive me

OSI Prompt : Elemental

One Single Impression : WRONG

Friends,

I just got up after watching a live debate about conversion of two Muslims in Kashmir valley on  TIMES NOW.  It was a terrible show. Quality of debate was nowhere near mellowness & serenity such discussions require.

Faith became a matter of ego instead a tool that alleviate harmony, love.

 Following verse is a result of that discussion – that noise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faith,

A subject of heart.

Debated on a news channel

Arguments and counter arguments

All products of limited minds

Play of egos

Creating noises

Troubled Heart feels lost in that

Noisy bazaar

And no one cares!

Missing is serenity that connects

Missing is

Faith.

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

OSI Prompt : Smile

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.

Haiku Heights Prompt :Travel

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!”

Spirit of the matter

Spirit of the matter

It is felt

Deep within

Respected, held dear

Close to heart.

Followed intuitively

Wide awaken or in sleep.

When followed as such,

Gets embedded within,

Inducing same in others.

Those who cannot accept it

Stay away.

Those who love it

Come closer,

Strengthening it further.
