~Wings~
Dreaming in a world afar,
Of wings broad and wide,
Lifting me to the heavens...
Written for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai!
~Truth~
"God is existence himself..."- That's the Truth...
"Sat Chit Anand"- "सत चित्त आनन्द" - The ultimate truth!
Living in a dream,
Reality hidden from sight-
Only felt!

~Snow White~

After snow,
For love and much joy-
Snow white danced!

Love Pearls...
 |
| My pearls... :) |
Resting on her delicate bossom,
Rising with every forlorn sigh-
The pearl necklace!
Shining with memory of what is lost,
settles down preciously only to adorn...

Ancient...
 |
| Viceregal Lodge. Its an old fort in Shimla where the British Viceroys stayed during early 90's; British Rule in India! |
Framed in a picture,
Locked in time and memory-
Glorious and kingly!

~Fragrance~
 |
| The sculpture of an Indian peacock clicked at a Emporium! |
The smell of a new book,
Leaves me lost among the bygone times-
Of friends and school...
***
The scent of earth,
After the first summer rain,
Dancing outside-
Among the beautiful peacocks,
Their trail in display!
***
Burning wood,
And fragrant herbs and oils-
Sacrifices to the fire God!

Valiant Ones!
 |
| Indian Flag hoisted at The Hall of Fame! |
Rest among the valiant ones,
For never shall your memory be lost in time,
Oh Dear soul of motherland!
In loving memory of all the fallen freedom fighters without whom independence would have been quite impossible. Indian Independence Day-15th August 1947.

~Sunrise~
 |
| Sunrise in Leh is rather late because of the altitude of the city... So when she comes up she is full bright and not the usual vermillion orangish colour! |
***
Flying across the ocean,
Racing with the rising sun,
into the West!
***
Over the horizon,
The Sun peaks shyly,
Leaving the world in awe!

Cries!

| A peacock at Mangalore Zoo! |
The music unheard,
Spreads upon the hearts of millions,
As the cuckoo cries solemnly!

Melons~

Tadpoles within,
Melons relieving from summer heat-
Nature's red gift!

Melts!

| Holi! A festival celebrated with water and colour to rejoice the approaching Spring! |
Outside my refrigerator,
On my kitchen slab the butter melts,
The spring arrives!

The Gorgeous Greens!
 |
| Shimla. |
Forests dimly lit at noon
Abode to many a wild wonderous creatures-
In harmony with gorgeous greens!

The Shortcut Path!
 |
| Shimla. |
Hopping over the fence
In a hurry to meet her friends-
Her frock torn by the barbs!
***
***
Taking the shortcut path
Over a wall, climbing a tree-
Romeo meets Juliet!

Morning Glory.
 |
| Image Credits: Carpe Diem |
Morning Glories scattered
On the paths of many a pilgrims,
Spreading wisdom of Life.
The vermillion reds cover the skies,
Sun rising above the hills to full glory.
The blues of Morning Glory,
Transforming to a shade of violet-
Only to last one sunrise!

Flash.
 |
| It's not sun. It's not edited. It's lightening in the setting sun. Caught on camera overhead Kochi. |
Satin white flashes
Of light with peels of thunder-
Hiding behind the clouds!
***
The dance of the Gods
No human shall enter
Lightens the earth beneath.
***
Lit up by fire from heaven,
A moment of beauty-
And then just darkness.
***
A beautiful thunder
Terrifying so many of us-
Then Lightening of hope!

Mango Blossoms....
 |
| Image credits: google images Mango blossom called bor in Hindi commonly seen around this time of the year in various parts of the country... They smell too good. |
Youthful alluring smell
From fruitless blossoming mangoes,
Blown away by westerlies!

The Climb...
***
Climbing uphill
Weathered eroded jagged rocks,
Covered in dense colours!
***
Reaching the top
Beautiful landscape far beyond-
Fearing the slope.
Colour!

Beneath the layers of coloured powder
Lay her ageing pale skin,
Dying with every fleeting moment.
