Unease

 Everything seems normal 

beautiful , charming & smooth 

but the wind is utterly unlike 

whispering a lament ...

The feather

 I burnt the feather

In the largest blaze..

I wished  to see ashes blowing in the air

instead , it became  titanium .

The storm on the way

 The storm on the way 

Wolves did not howl ...

but the changes of the wind .....

So i knew the storm was coming...

warning was ignored 

As a habitual stupidity 

And  a bloated arrogance 

The storm will  be temposteus

 foul and painful ....devastating indeed 

I leave the cottage 

With a shattered mind... 

but my  journey will continue

In the blink of an eye

Breeze is remedial
only when it is natural
rose is divine
when it is born among thorns
& I discern all of them
 in the blink of an eye

The soldier’s rose

In every garden where roses bloom there is one hidden rose with shimmering petals & a divine scent whispering to the wind her last wish.. to spread all the petals in the morning wind so that is her virtuous wish...

The Illusion

While looking at the reflection, the rose thought “ How beautiful I am”
She bent a little further to look closely “has anyone seen me as a beauty before? “
The feeling of loneliness shrunk her petals
She bent further to kiss herself
In a second, her petals were floating in the water.

The paper boat

 

knowing impermanent

knowing not worthy

but the paper boat floats

as far as it can

rain is merciless

wind is uncaring

but the paper boat floats

as far as it can

It's paper can be torn,

or swamped by the rain

but the paper boat floats

as far as it can

Few poems for her

 The water lily 

When I look at the water lily 

She asks me to look at the pond 

I keep staring at her... 

She is that beautiful

 A wink 

 Even the gloomy tranquil mountain,

 the paragon of stillness 

was stunned 

when a petal fell off a mountain rose

To listen to it's untold stories of centuries,
I became silent, 

silent than the dark mountain.....
