A Dash of His Hand: Haiku and Poem

2013-06-08T11:00:00.000-07:00

Written for Haiku Heights
Prompt: Moral

Haiku My Heart

One Single Impression

For: Haiku Heights

Never slips,
he holds morals tight;
distant peaks

**

For: Haiku My Heart

clouds roar and then rain;
ripples of laughter appear
on the face of lake

For One Single Impression

Just a Dash of His Hand

Just a dash of his hand
with the loud thud
made the wooden table tremble
from that sudden shock
as her dreams splattered
on the floor without a sound
breaking into millions of pieces
which only her teary eyes
could see from behind
the wet layers of salty water
and he quietly walked over them
without realising that some pieces
might have got stuck
under the sole of his shoes
and I wonder if
the pain stuck in those
will ever reach his soul..
Nothing much had happened
everyone had been quizzing her
about the glow on her face
and springs in her feet
and the gleam in her eyes
and she had just filled the 'dash'..
and that's when came
just a dash of his hand

**

An attempt to create a haiku combining all

A dash of his hand
makes her laughter disappear;
perceived morals

Baffling Need of My Inflated Ego..

2013-06-05T10:26:00.000-07:00

Damaging; Ego; Legitimate;

Also shared with Haiku Heights..

Prompt: Eccentric

..

Eccentric ego
legitimates scars on soul;
damaging power

Baffling Need of My Inflated Ego..

Well, it could be
a legitimate craving
Or baffling need of my
Inflated ego
To seek myself
In your expressions
Tell me, won't it be damaging
For both of us
I will neither be able
To know the 'complete' Me
Nor will I ever know
The real you
and I realise that
I can know and find myself only
By letting you be yourself..

There Were No Him, Her, Them...

2013-05-31T04:49:00.007-07:00

First, A Haiku...

She breaks that big stone

into many small pebbles;

myth quietly dilutes

***

and now the Poem..for prompt Myth..

There Were No Him, Her, Them..

Many years went by

As I continued to blame

Him, her, them

For all that went haywire

But then you know

Myths have this peculiar destiny

They break quietly

I saw them breaking

When I slipped and fell

Inside my own darkened depths

In some inexplainable moments

For the first time

I met myself and knew

There were no Him, her , them

It was all about 'Me..'

Oh, have I missed telling you, that

When myths break

The silent sound gives

Birth to light as

Darkness whithers away...

I Was Indeed Successful..

2013-05-30T03:12:00.001-07:00

Badge, Darken, Liability

I Was Indeed Successful..

Yes, I had earned it
My Award of Merit
And received a badge
In a glittering function
I was happy and
Celebrated too
At that time I didn't know
That I had been burdened
With a liability
As everyone around
Started noticing and expecting
From me a lot more, much more
Glint in eyes would
Turn into darkened faces
Such compelling transformation
Could happen due to one single
Powerful emotion - Envy...
Another kind of a badge
Which could only be felt
Yet spoke far louder, that
I was indeed successful...

***

A Haiku.

Darkened faces;
my badge of honour becomes
my liability

Flames Leap On the Finishing Line..

Ah, a clever ploy
of very sweet talks;
silky tone,
shining words,
a comforting web
of deceit & lies
helps one win
shorter races of life;
when comes the last
flames leap
on the finishing line
as the web so well crafted
dances in front of the eyes
and one finds one's
soul entangled
in that very silky thread...
Ah, God listens to intentions
and not the words alone...

Awareness Can Happen In A Moment

Now I am alert and vigilant,

I am no more helpless

Will not let anyone trample

With my spirit any more

I am no more confused

Who would fail to see behind the

Thin wall of illusion..

Doesn't matter who you are

A master of deceit

Or a repenting seer

Because now it is not

What you think of me

But it is now

What I think of myself

Such a little shift

and lo, how the years flew

I learnt that

Awarness can happen

In a moment

Or it may take eons

One needs to be always vigilant

For one doesn't know

How and where

Will the lesson spill..

Penitent, Believe, Tribute..

A Tribute and a Confession

My tribute to those
who created language...
I believe
If he handn't known
the word 'Penitent'
He would never have
Learnt what exactly
Confession meant
and how did 'soul' feel
Lighter afterwards...
Wish he had also known
the meaning of being
'Kind-hearted'...
A simpler word that
Some lives would still be smiling..

Happy to be back at 3WW...!!!!!
