WHISPERS: Winter dew...


Some recent free form Haiku
___

 Manifesting flowers
At the altar of love
My verses have no other meaning
__

How did I ever found you?
I never believed
In Cosmic Designs
__

Life is wasted
In Living
Death is more precise
__

Winter Dew
__________
Scent of senses
Linger long after
My thoughts
Memories, yearning
Have died in living
Within the emptiness
Of you

You float
In your own desert spaces
Finding you
And I run after every mirage
Sands of time
Creates
In your foot prints

I thirst for meaning
In every word
That lingers
From your lips
Just like
Winter dew
Cold winter dew
_____________

  8. Excellent haiku, in particular i really enjoyed the first one. Winter Dew expresses so much pain and longing. "Have died in living / Within the emptiness" makes me think the speaker is caught in purgatorial longing. Great title too.

    Yes indeed, life in living has many ways, destinations and doubts but death has none of these kind of confusions or options...

    The image I have had taken in a village near Varanasi, in the early morning of this winter. I was mesmerized too and spent almost an hour early morning waiting for the sun to be up, living with the nature as it was waking up... It was an immense pleasurable moment.
    Thanks for appreciation for my verses too.

    @stillfugue

    Thanks for enjoying my Haiku and then the verse 'Winter Dew.' As I said in the first Haiku that my Verse actually have no other meaning to be, than to create bouquet of words at the altar of love. I am perpetually drunk with longing, pain and suffering... come to think of it, life is made like that, to reduce karmic burden of past lives in suffering or in love or in being better human... and in all this, words become therapeutic... ;-)
    Thanks for enjoying my words...

  13. Love your Winter dew piece...the sands of time...the mirage...all those wonderful images you presented here....thank you Sashi....blessings..bkm

  14. Woowwww.... We do have this habit of running behind things trying to look the meaning... But more often than not, that meaning lies somewhere inside of us!! It's only a matter of time before we realize that..

    Such beautiful words here, Shashi... what a lovely flow of words!!
    And that repetition towards the very end of the poem (cold winter dew)... that DEFINITELY made quite a lasting impression on me!! Very well written indeed!

  15. Very nice, Shashi. All the pieces paint such vivid pictures. This one packed the biggest wallop for me:

    Life is wasted
    In Living
    Death is more precise

  16. As always, when I think you have written so well in the haiku form, you write a longer poem that I like even more. I especially like the image of chasing the mirage, following the real footprints after an illusion Time has made of the departed. That is a subtle and very effective image. Beautiful work.

  19. Some very intense words in the 2nd verse! It shows you live in emptiness but she makes you feel contented- well done.. very well expressed!!
    Enjoyed the Haiku too :)

    P.S.- This has to be telepathy! I was just thinking about you- and you left a comment at the same time. This has happened a few times already with you and a couple of more bloggers!
    You too encounter such?

    Wishing you a nice weekend
    Love xoxox

  20. Dear Shashi!

    How did I miss this? These haiku, and the longer poem are divine. They have such meaning and depth. The complexity is in there without convolution. They speak with a universal voice, and that to me makes all the difference in the world in the sphere of poetry.

    Resonance, within our common delights, condition...makes poetry go deep into hearts.

    You are a master of haiku, Shashi. Each piece sends me into profound thought and it feeds the soul.

    This is what poetry should do!

    Hugs,

    Lady Nyo
