Illusory

At dawn, golden rays peeping through bougainvillea flower
Draped in your yellow sari meandering in riots of colour
A squirrel a butterfly in wait patiently-all time at spare
Your arm flap making both tiny enough to scare.
Up blue sky appears at horizon slowly descending
Atop fluffy cloud storks in maze perfectly gliding
Whirling breeze whispering as if in unbound leisure
The morning you and me all in ethereal pleasure,
Far from madding crowd amid bountiful nature
If there is heaven anywhere, it’s only now here.









Life Elixir

Trapped in my room, confined on a chair near window
Drizzling since morning, monsoon revealing innuendo,
Not much to do, over a smoky tea enjoying leisure
My gaze falling on drenched kid at lane corner
Dancing frantic enjoying incessant shower of rain
Memories from childhood flushing out kept engrain(ed).
Life matured through several incoming echelon
Like within harsh daylight. Twinkling stars hidden.

Haiku Faking 1

With flower bouquet they attend
Funeral service sorrowfully
In fact killers they are.

                                    






Haiku Faking2

People fake words holding in hand flower
As if mock desperation
I always hate flower.
