WHISPERS: Solitude and Rain

Some free form of Haiku’s on ‘Rain’

______________

The house plant

Has started gnawing at its root

Its raining outside

__

Tipper-tappering on canopy

Fluting through swaying trees

Rain dance in deep forest

__

Sky picked up few clouds

Went to work

Mopped the forest, fresh green 

__

  

You Need Lot of Life, To Be Dead

____________________________

The moon shattered over the eastern sky

Turned into a cloud burst

Rain fall softly on a lifeless body

Walking along the empty beach

-Feeling

-Thinking

-Wondering

Where has all the pain gone?

The sacred solitude spread

Under the dark clouded night

Shimmering, in wet silver sands

Of time

- Deadly

- Fascinating

‘If this is being dead,

Then its welcome too’.

Come, be within my empty feelings,

Fill my empty soul,

Come, sit besides me

In my desert spaces

And watch with me, the play of our loneliness

Souls, fluttering on the clothesline

Strung between the stars

‘Take one, if you need some change?’

One step after another

Becomes effortless

-When there is no place to go

- When you are nothing else, but dead

No desires to keep you alive; awake

No sun, No moon,

No shadow dogging your steps

Sooner or later, every thing stills, lying etched upon past

You know, living is easy

Moments just pass

In slow motion of

Lightening flash backs

Of memories littered, one the way; en-mass

Foot prints left on silver sand

Now, I remember

Where all the pain has gone

You know, being dead is easy too

You just need lot of life, un-lived
