Blue Cures Blue

once in a blue moon
sadness burdens to harass
freaking aches of heart

demented brain dithers
seized in between the demon
and the deep blue sea

water bed offers
an escape from feeling blue
satiating sorrowed souls

zest of parted friends
oceanic quest quenched offering
a whale of a time

blue ocean ripples
ambience of silent zen
calms mind and body

radiant smiles flare
under the infinite sky
serenity unfurls

Tokens

Arts that glitter
effuse hopes.
Pictures in sepia
echo sensibilities!

Memories bundled
emit happiness.
Stencilled calligraphy
eternalize words!

Embellished signature
conveys loving caress.
Predesigned effort
magnifies tender warmth!

Crescent and I

Her curve
My smile

Her craters
My scars

Her desolation
My loneliness

Her neighbours
My crowd

Fantasy

artistic fantasy
stare at an empty canvas
world of peace exemplified

Falling in love with her art, he called her for the first time. They spoke until it was closing time for the night sky.

Glistening Twilight

Glistening twilight
tides talk to tiny islands
through the voice of waves

Memories of life
giggle like the ebbing tides
lovely yet looming

Beach betrays vision
twilight portrays false beauty
of what the day blinds

Just like tides touching the shore, memories cross our minds speaking in a voice that only our inner self understands. Most often, these memories are heavy.

Vista

Sun’s touring uphill

Enjoying the grand vista

I tread down the hill

This is my first attempt at writing a haiku. Accidentally, it also has the usage of a linguistic device ‘Apo Koinou’.

Scented Intents

Blue haired fairy
flew away far,
transferring charges
to the green-eyed.

She cast spells
to de-ice lands,
making hearts sing
the blooms of spring!

Seeds of hope
and euphonious music,
spreading joy in the air
awakened sleepy souls.

Abode

Her mind was spinning,
so fast, like a broken
directionless compass.

She came from a land of hills
from a place so high
with definite height.

Hills grow in inches
or slide a little,
but it was certain.

She’s uncertain, now onshore,

Soar

The world is sore, and
the sky is stormy.

When the going gets strenuous,
not all of us seek shelters.

Hallmark

Anika was on a vacation at her granny Alisa’s place. She doesn’t miss a chance to get there. After all, it’s her dream home, to be precise, a villa, with whatever she could crave for – a huge pool, large reading room with a comfy sofa beside the French window, a beautiful garden full of fruit-bearing trees few yards beyond the window sill, a lawn to walk in the evening; and all these in a harmonious location in the outskirts of the city.

Creating every possible nuisance she could do to make her granny laugh and roaming around for a while, she settled peacefully with a book beyond the pool while Alisa left for an afternoon nap. The book wasn’t interesting enough to hold her already short attention span.

With a decision to dust up her childhood memories, she went in search of the photo albums piled in the storeroom. Accidentally, it was her granny’s diary that she stumbled upon. Who wouldn’t like to read a secret diary?

Haunting Surprise

Adi planned a surprise for Aditi. It was their first anniversary.

He woke her from sleep in the early morning. Midnight would be the right term to use. He covered her eyes, and started driving to a new place. It was her wish to go to a distant place, with just him.

On the way, Adi played her favourite songs, kept her hooked ranting his childhood tales to distract her thoughts from the surprise.

He explained the beauty of the dawn comparing it with her eyes. Availing the chance, Aditi manipulated him to get her mask removed to witness the beautiful sunrise, still blushing. Her request got rejected. She enjoyed the denial, and mentally prepared herself for a big surprise.
