Drifted from its path
Heralding a change in season
Graceful and unique
Writing a Haiku after a long time. Though I cheated with an extra syllable, I couldn’t perfect it the way I would have liked. This stray battered-looking leaf landed upon the window of my car one afternoon and I clicked immediately. It looked so perfect perched on the glass window.

It was my little one’s birthday yesterday. Sharing some pictures of him and a few lines to mark the day. 🙂
Looking through the photos of yesterdays’,
I’m reminded of the time that’s disappearing fast
Your naughtiness troubling me every moment,
Yet, that’s something I would cherish for years to come
The anger I shower,
As you try to climb a wall or get inside a cupboard
Only because I love you so much more,
Your senseless adventures knock the sense out of me, dear
But, never let go of your curiosity,
No matter how scared it makes me
That’s a wish I have for you,
My crazy adventurer, who melts my heart!

Haunting Memories #WordlessWednesday 69

treads made
many moons ago
long lost and forgotten
in memories linger
a freezing cold loitering
the empty streets of yesteryears

When it rains… #WordsMatter

When it rains…
this mind rattles in the dark oft
a glimmer of hope could help perhaps
nothing but an overcast
it shan’t last for long
dark clouds can’t linger forever
soon will it rain down
and the sun will appear bright again
a cleansing ritual is all this
gently sweeping and mopping the stains away
and a final rinse to spruce up
a good cry to flush that fog
the silver lining may hover for longer this time
a wish that meanders my way when it rains!
This poem is written as part of the #WordsMatter blog hop, organized by Corinne, Shalini, and Parul where 42 of us are coming together to share our musings on the prompt ‘When it rains’. I received this tag from Sunita at Mumbai On A High and it’s my pleasure to pass on this tag to Anagha Yatin at Canvas With Rainbow.

Lonely Wanderer #WordlessWednesday 67

Lonely was only the soul,
Wandering musings never got tired
Of jumping from branches spread so wide.

Finding Self #WordlessWednesday 66

Into the wilderness
Wanders my mind
A world of chaos
A web of what-ifs
Making a criss-cross.
Glimpses of tranquil
I see, deep within the soul
Serene and beautiful
A place to get lost
Away from this clutter.
Chaos and tranquil,
All a part of me.
Never too late,
To accept the mess and peace
That resides side by side
Within this heart,
And the self is whole again
As it was, always.
This poem is inspired by this beauty who we met at a wildlife sanctuary in Arizona.

Not so gloomy #WordlessWednesday 64

On a gloomy day,
When the dark clouds threatened,
To spill rain all over
A little sunshine was all that it took,
To form a rainbow.
Wonders can happen
On days not so bright
A soulful smile,
An honest friend,
A kind gesture,
That’s all, it takes.

Lessons from a flower #WordlessWednesday 63

A bloom to relish
For a little while
While it lasts.
A lesson it shares,
Of humble and flourish.
Dried it will be soon,
With no charm,
Neither glossy and radiant,
Petals one by one,
Awaiting its imminent fall.
A lesson to learn,
From this bloom,
To never hide your value,
However small or short it may.
What good it is
To be haughty and smug
Over your beauty and flair?
All will be lost tomorrow
When the sun shines a little too bright
Yet, nothing is lost forever
Because persistence will see you
Blossom and prosper again.
Cherish this bloom
While it lasts
Gracious as ever.
