WHISPERS: Withered Dreams... Haiku on Love...

Sharing some Haiku on LOVE and a longer verse “Withered Dreams...”

Lotus Flower at Chandigarh
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...
Withered Dreams
______________
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

  5. As 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.)

  6. These are great lines...
    A sigh buried deep
    With a bit of madness

  8. You 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:

    A sigh buried deep
    With a bit of madness
    Still left within
    I dream withered dreams
