Fireflies glowed

Sketches in darkness

Red petals..

Red Petals, By Admin

Antique pine
Bright lotus blossoms

Lion roars

Red petals
Scattered on the blood
Wound hurt hearts

Lion roars
To guard the supreme
Antique pine

India, these days portrayed as a country of slums and poor, was a major target of many great emperors  that the world saw. They came, looted gold, ornaments and diamonds which were sold in roadside, destroyed idols, spoilt rich architecture of the temples that had lotus and lions!. Let the antique pine get its lost charm back and the roar resound in our hearts!

Zero..

From zero

A endless journey 

Stack of mask

Swirls of joy
Shadows of sorrow
Tales of life

Stack of mask

Kid, teen, youth, adult

To zero

Most of us live our life with masks, but, we never realise that the life itself is a stack of different masks. Life involves us playing many roles at times- from zero(birth) to zero(death). Zero defines the infinite life(endless journey)- all in it's big circle- where 'the start' and 'the end' is indefinite!

Strolling under moon

For your glimpse

For your glimpse
Heart skips a beat- in
Giant wheel

Giant wheel
Eyes meet to follow arc
Ups and downs

Beach footprints

Fifty sensations

Lord, steer Stone

This Haiku is written for The Heights Of Haiku - April 2012. Thank you for having no prompt today!

Lord, steer the Stone!

Tall Shadow..

Tall shadow

In the clear water

Seed crafts waves

This would have happened to most of us and wish it happens to all. In the portrait here, a couple is standing under a tree on the banks of a beautiful lake. Their love is as  pure/clear as the water of lake and is seeded/deep rooted in their hearts. A seed from the tree falls to lake, magical waves, crafts a salsa of the tall shadows!

World twinkles..

Glossy home

Hold back temptations

World twinkles

Modern society has become materialistic. Most of us find solace in glossy and superficial things. In the process, we have limited ourselves, stopped thinking out of box, resulting in a less innovative lifestyle. If these temptations are held back, we will soon start realising that it's not only the star that twinkles, even the world does!

Pick pearls..

Silver clouds

Drizzling melodies

Friend, pick pearls

A rainy day after a long summer brings lot of happiness. To make the most out of it, I sat in the balcony with a glass of tea, and these lines just came out!. Nature looked refreshed- cool breeze, silver clouds, musical drizzles, tiny bubbles, and the best part- the drops that slid down in a rose. My dear friend, Treasure these pearls(moments)!

Shoreline..

Great pursuit

My kismet beacons

Shoreline reefs

Most of us don't heed to our inner voice, hence end up beating the bush and cursing life. Meditation is the best medicine. Kismet- Destiny always beacons. May be in a reef far away. Looking at it from the shore and feeling proud of the pursuit so far, could make the Destiny out of sight. Never rest till the goals are achieved is the message here.

This Haiku is written for The Heights Of Haiku - April 2012. The prompt for today is  Kismet.

Wrecked hearts..

Rain pour bliss

Your hackneyed ardours

Have wrecked hearts

Attempt to put two emotions. Both of them longing for bliss. First one, gazing at the rain Gods for a downpour after a prolonged zeal of Sun, which has resulted in dried-up crops, greenless farms. Second one, a lover who is unable to convey his/her feelings and is just hoping that the feelings become mutual!

This Haiku is written for The Heights Of Haiku - April 2012. The prompt for today is Bliss.

Roofless..

Starved eyes pray

For bright horizon

Roofless hut

World always discriminated rich and poor. This gap always increased. Prayer is the only hope for poor, praying for a square of meal, praying for basic amenities, praying for their shelter. Irony is depicted in last two lines. Mesmerized, on how the way world runs, on how we celebrate, on how we survive, on how one wishes for brightness in a roofless hut. Attempt to show the dark side of "Mesmerization".

This Haiku is written for The Heights Of Haiku - April 2012. The prompt for today is Mesmerize.
