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.
