TWO FACES

Magma swells inside.

Lava spurts like resentment.

Anger never cools.

WHISPERS

Soft wings brush the breeze,

clouds drift in a tender dance.

Hearts bloom like bird’s song.

Love shifts as seasons unfold,

joy soars in nature’s embrace.

PEACE

Green hills softly rise,

Birds sing sweet songs to clouds,

Peace fills deep valley.

BLOOM

Soft winds do whisper,

Seasons dance is eternal.

Time's gentle embrace,

The leaves fall, then bloom again,

Nature's endless cycle sings.

LUCKY

Robin and sparrow,

both dived upon the insect.

It went underground.

ROMANCE - 2

Whispered hearts align,

Soul's sacred dance softly blooms,

Love's eternal light,

Guides spirits through endless skies,

Harmony in every breath.

ROMANCE - 1

Beneath our soft stars,

whispers trace the soul's outline -

your heart’s steady flame,

guiding me through shadows deep,

I stand strong in love’s clear dawn.

HILLS - 3

Green hills hug the soul,

Sunlight paints the quiet breeze,

Peace sings in my heart.

HILLS - 2

Green hills rise softly,

Sunlight warms my lonely face,

Peace blooms in my heart.

HILLS - 1

Green hills hug the sky,

Wind whispers secrets to trees,

Peace fills up my soul.

FADED

Faded ink remains,

Whispers of dreams, now just dust,

Wind sighs, empty hand.

EMPTY

Words drift on the wind,

Empty spaces where they land,

Trust, a broken thing.

FRAGILE

Words like fragile glass,

Shattered hopes upon the floor,

Empty echoes stay.

WAITING

Decided to meet -

Joy after such a long time.

... but she never came.

CHANGE

Greenish yellow leaves -

basking in the sun in joy.

Cold after sunset.

LESSON

The king turned pauper -

ego brings downfall for any.

A lesson for life.

CONFIDENT

Remain by my side -

and watch me take on this world.

I am confident. 

VIEW

Looking through the grill -

greenery is at its peak.

A prisoner's view.

VOYAGE

Coconuts leaning -

above the seashore. They may -

travel far away.

LANDSCAPE

Road goes in forest.

Water acts as a mirror.

Beautiful landscape.

ANCESTRY

Fence of wooden logs -

running all along forest.

Once part of forest.

DIVINITY

Man, wife and the girl -

three forms, same divinity.

Partiality!

WAIT

She sat on the stone.

Braided hair like silken threads.

Wait is eternal.

IRONY

It is hot inside

Cold rain falls above the earth

Turmoils exist here

INCOMPLETE

Lines to stanzas done

Page after page already done

Novel incomplete

WRITE

Thoughts come and thoughts go

Line after line I rewrite

Then comes on paper

TOIL

Scene inside beehive

Wings flutter and buzz all time

Toil, hum and sweetness

HUMBLE START

One earthen lamp lit

No heat, just spreading the light

Big deeds start so small

VISION

A world in a dew

Every dewdrop has a life

A life of struggle

AGE

Time changed into years

More experience was gained

Age more than seasons. 

LIFE

Petals that came first

Always fall down earlier

Strengthening future

OBSERVATION

Expectations leave the heart,

long before soul leaves the body

LIFE

Sweet summer shower

Labourers working in heat

Thoughts and real life

IRONY

A glass holds water

See the irony, do you?

It's never thirsty!

DOUBT

Judgement passed in court

The king looked down on accused

Sobs of innocence

EYE TO EYE

Cat on the sunshade

Pack of dogs on road waiting

No one made first move

SAMURAI

A home in Japan

Parents wife kids katana

Pride valour martyr

EVENING

Swallow on barb wire

Getting wet in the sweet rain

It's time to go home

CHANGE

Change is like river

Nothing is ever the same

Even an instant

MOTHER

Thatched house filled with smoke

Someone feeds her only child

Mother's love unbound.

INNOCENCE

Morn calls out to me

The waking of an infant

Let us embrace joy.

THE MOON

White ball is rising

Millions of miles away

Beauty always grows.

EXPECTATIONS

I saw two black birds

And a swallow on a tree

They wait for the spring. 

PATIENCE

Bud blooms in due time.

Impatient men want it quick -

Just catastrophe.

HAIKU

Haiku may not rhyme.

Here, it tells a big story -

Full concentration.
