WHISPERS: Lost Soul and Love in Haiku

People in our life come and go but sometimes one chooses to remain with someone, forever, even though the farewells have happened. The reason for this deep rooted attachment, may not be in the soil of this life, but probably in all the other lives you have lived… so here I am trying to explore the “Lost Soul” among the debris of lives, lived along with some of my Haiku about love and its expression in verse (To know more about Haiku, Click here…)

Visitors at the Shore Temple Mahabalipuram - Chennai

HAIKU-T
In the spaces

Between words of despair

Love exposes itself in living

__

Words fall in place

When love is

Most silent

__

With white empty pages, I met

On the path of living – Love

Now it’s soaking wet – Blood red

__

Dark night's shadow looms large - East Coast Road, Chennai

Lost Soul

____

Among the mortal remains

Of scattered lives -

Lived,

Embroiled in many life times

I cry

In acrid smoke of burning desires

My selfishness invade

Spoken - unspoken boundaries

Of last farewell

I did let you go

And

I did not

Now, no longer I am absolved

By love

Dreams keep me burning

And alive

Sleeping cadavers of memories

Worm hole into heart beats

Dancing away
Into depths of living - 

Long lost

Now, just a withered skin I wear,

Over the skeleton of ocean scent

Hanging endlessly in the empty space

Of falling stars, off Orion’s belt

Smells of sea salt

Songs of silence 
From dying pyre

Fall around like dark shadow

Rags of cosmic design
Buries, deep in living, a lost soul

A lonely boat

With sails of tattered death

Softly fades into dark night
