Sharing some Haiku on LOVE and a longer verse “Withered Dreams...”
Irresistible will of heaven
Withered Dreams
Haiku on Love
______
A sense of deep connection
Withered within the lotus stalk
Ancient pond holds on
__Irresistible will of heaven
Cry as you must
To find the voice of your soul
__
__
Flower perish
One way or another
Love flowers too
__
This is the entrance to our village Temple of Goddess Durga... In case you are wondering, the orange shadow is flames captured one winter night... |
______________
The bells of deep knowing
Sounds in depths of my heart
Love echoes forever in her smile
In the clinging droplets of dew
All the seeds of ‘being’
Wait for an eternity to fall
To die another dream
Hidden in the petals of lotus flower
Ancient lake, cold stone heart
Holds forever onto her thoughts
A sigh buried deep
With a bit of madness
Still left within
I dream withered dreams

ReplyDelete@AudreyHowitt
really like that last haiku and the hope i find in it...dreaming withered dreams is quite evocative too...you know every time i see those flames it looks like there is someone running in them....
ReplyDeleteAs always you paint the eternal circle, from the withered flower to the lasting root, to the cold stone of the pond's heart. Lovely to read your work again, Shashi.(Very nice photos, also.)
ReplyDeleteThese are great lines...

ReplyDeleteYou poetry of devotion gets better with every reading. I think this works well as we move deeper and deeper into your love. I liked this a lot:
