Haiku on catching up with an old friend

We talked and we shared,
As if it were yesterday.
Years becoming days.

Haiku on a Rainy Sunset on a summer day

Raindrops on my face,
Cool breeze rustling through the trees,
This divine sunset.

Haiku on Choice

Love knows no borders.
Hatred knows no boundaries.
Choose wisely, we must.

Haiku on the Futility of Violence

Spoils of the battle,
Orphaned children, widowed brides,
Evenly we share.

Haiku on a War Veteran

Medals shining bright,
Triumphant, he returns home,
Soul scarred for ever.

For you

I wish I could tell you -
My world revolves around you.
Like a Monsoon without showers,
Like a Spring without flowers,
Lonely and meaningless I'll be,
Without you beside me.

Haiku on Driving home on a stormy night

Dark skies, fierce winds.
Heavy downpour, lightning streaks.
I wait for you, scared!

Haiku on lost childhood

My carefree life halts.
I see your smiling face flash
On a "Missing" sign.

Haiku on a Boring Day

A Tick and a Tock !
The clock fights a losing war
Against stoic Time.

Haiku on effects of the first monsoon shower

Eyes closed, I take in
A rush of musty odor
Of freshly wet soil.

Haiku on a sick bird

Frightened little bird
Cruel stone breaking its wing
Oh heartless humans!

Haiku on a hot summer day

This hot summer day
I see a distant drizzle
A calming mirage.

HOME

Thousands of miles, they fly-
Over the oceans, they fly-
Across the valleys, they fly-
Leaving behind homes, barren and cold,
To be in lands with flowers of yellow gold,
Basking in the warmth away from the cold!

But when the snow thaws-
And away the cold goes-
Somehow each one of them knows . . .
And not for a moment they pause,
Away from the verdant lands, back they fly;
Have you ever wondered why?

Just a thought........

What's a smile worth without a tear?
What's bravery worth without a fear?
What's a day worth without a night?
What's peace worth without a fight?
What's a friend worth without a foe?
What's happiness worth without a woe?
To strive for perfection, Imperfect we have to be;
Noone's perfect,
But maybe that's how it's meant to be!!
