FARAWAY
__________
She walks alone on the beach
Tidal waves, stormy sea
Me, morning and my scattered dreams
LOSS
_____
I am shedding memories
Like leaves in fall
Did I loose you in between my thoughts?
My Way of Love
______________
A part of my heart
Remains empty to let you grow
Into an ache
__
Burning
__________
He is sitting alone
Burning his bridges
Piece by rending piece
Even before heart could smell
The acrid smoke of burning
The bonds are razed down
Flowing away in time’s unceasing current
Breaking heart tries hard to keep
The fire from going on hurting, flame by flame
His face, turned away
Shadow the flicker of the burning pyre
Of love, belonging and desires
A burning love, and burns at last.
Made of blood, as foolish as it sounds;
Memories drip, from bleeding heart
And love cast her name, again and again
On the deserts of time
Waves upon waves of pain
Tries to wipe the etched memories on sands,
Again and again
Why do I write?
Why do I write, my pain
Knowing
The bonds, cast in sands of time
Matured in feelings
Nurtured in love
Will never burn away
Pyre turned ash, he slowly walks back
A life time ago

inspiring n deep..
ReplyDeleteYour words are lovely. They speak of pain, but also of the power of love. I particularly like the last two lines:
ReplyDelete"Pyre turned ash, he slowly walks back
A life time ago"
Whoa! I'm glad I landed here! Rich text, evolved imagery, simple & elegant.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the plaintive quality of your poetry. SO rich... and the longing in your question greets me.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
Read my poem this week here.
This is beautiful. Present raw human emotion, yet gently. An accomplishment. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteyour short pieces are exceptional; they capture so much in so few words and reach deep into the soul.
ReplyDeletealways the master of the haiku... I particularly liked My Way of Love. great job!

ReplyDeleteShashi, these are so heartfelt--such exquisite poetry. I love your work. The second haiku especially struck me.

These are indeed beautiful, Shashi. I also loved your design collection-- fascinating and evocative shapes.... he is sitting alone/burning his bridges is such a poignant line that resonates for all of us, I think-- xxxj

I like those three haikus or tercets, especially :)
ReplyDeletevery nicely written, Shashi :)
Oh Sashi, we write because it is in our nature... for people like us, the words are like drops of blood that we bleed from our very own souls, but all for a purpose....writing is both a healing and painful process. and it takes courage, which I can tell you have...
ReplyDeletemuch love. hope you are well
Love the multimedia aspect of your work.
ReplyDeletelove is a paradox
ReplyDeleteom nama shivaya
lovely and loving words. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for your nice comments
Beautiful words + vivid imagery = great poems...
ReplyDelete:)
Though how much we desire to shed the memories, they keep coming back, and we always fail with the purpose.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will write because I need to write so much of things, so many about things and a lot about you!
Great haikus and superb poem Shashi!
You love shines in places the greatest of shadows do not dare to cast. that is powerful!
