Heat (Haiku)


The leaves agonize
Sun spreads like a hot towel
Hope for a trickle

Chaas


The fired-up sun spread like a hot towel,
eclipsed the glories of a long winter.
When intense heat poured forth from the bowels,
a jar of iced-chaas shall whip the swelter.

Cry


Every morning I ask the mirror,
“friend, please reflect and tell me,
am I what I seem to appear?”
Too proud to express, too blur in else’s dress
is the lame image in which I hide.
Glass looks for I cannot see.
But the truth is truer in a cry.

Talacauvery



Amidst the mist dwells an old temple
on the hill echoed with green,
where the wind drones like a disciple.
Cauvery river starts its journey here.
The bells hum their presence in the haze.
Priest chants. I feel the unseen-
take a dip in the holy amaze.

Rainbow



Heart swelled as passion rushed thru the veins.
Inflamed each fiber along,
and a flower bloomed of a fine grain.
Over an ivy, and its freshness heady
Vast, deep and beyond the illusion-
in the dark ocean it dawned,
on wings of spiritual wisdom.
