haiku
clay
Light
has always been there
never beyond reach
flickering
at times flaming wild
defined spaces
clear boundaries
but to have a heart
that has bled much
loved much
it is in darkness
that the human in me
comes to life.
freedom
we chase
in holy mischief
butterflies
on a gentle breeze
giggles and laughter
amid songs of bees
like children
lost in time
spring arrives
dewy flowers blossom
gently nudged
by careless breeze
bursting joy
they seize moments
under the sun
and flutter
in the amorous play
of eternal fate
delighting
in a playful
possibility
glowing embers
Beloved
give me a sip
of your flaming wine
consume me in your Love
intoxicated in you
I have come alive
with every bead
kohl stains, tears stream
from these tiny eyes
dreaming to behold
your beautiful face
they long to see your Light
my heart has grown weary
of looking for love
bleeding, it crumbles
revealing the subtle Truth
that quietly rests inside
Beloved
give me another sip
of your flaming wine
show me the way
to the tavern
or let me be annihilated
here, on your sacred shrine
eternal presence
your scent
fills the air
I breathe
your maddening caress
imbues the thoughts
I concieve
we’re galaxies apart
yet you are the one
throbbing
in each beat
profound meeting
the soul lights up
when it comes across
a sincere emotion
the fire in the eyes
the sun in each spark
burns away the shadows
of seeming separation
liquid sunshine
raindrops
on the window pane
thunderclouds
drifting through the rain
in the vicinity of object of desire,
and the beauty it inspires
absorbed in crimson hues
and gentle eyes
I don’t have slightest clue
of where the time flies
taken aback by illuminated secret,
giving birth to spirit anew
I feel the tender kiss of Universe,
silently, invisibly saying –
‘here’s a gem, carved just for you’
living life in these perfect moments
is always such a delight
when I know that one day
this love is going to take my life
raindrops
and one day
they dripped
like pearls from heaven
splattering
one at a time
from her unrestrained soul
mirroring words
she could not utter
words that were often lost
lost in the depths of silence

flowering lament
the boundaries have dissolved
and music ceaselessly plays
held captive by your gaze
I have become a moth to flame
with nothing left to say
I am melting in this moment
slowly fading in your haze
embrace me
in your arms
and let me escape
…..
inspired by one of the most moving compositions I have heard : Lament by Jacaszek
☉
my existence
on an empty canvas
what could it be
in words so few?
ah! a splash
from a paintbrush
dipped, in the shades of you
∸
nights
fermented in tears
slowly made my soul fertile
now I run wild
through blossoming fields
alive in eternal spring
〢
‘.. you are free with me’
he said
I giggled –
knowing how I am
helplessly enslaved
by his mere touch
