Crimson end #haiku

Dark earth hides the light Crimson clouds reflect the end Arrow point inwards

Ho shayad woh kharra

छोड़ दूँ वो सब जो तुम्हें लगे बुरा कुरेद कर नोच कर जो बचे हो शायद वो खरा और ना बचा कुछ अगर तो बस रहेगा दिल मोहब्बत भरा

Shadows remain Black

The clouds floatFreelyHanging on to the windsin the wide blue sky Some light and whiteSome laden and darkSome flying lowSome soaring up high They cast a shadowOn the earth belowThe creeping shadowCover the green meadow Irrespective of the cloudsWhite or darkLow or highShadow remains black below

Is there something more serene? Aur Sukun Kya Hai

एक प्यारा साथीअपना सुना हुआ सा गानाथोड़ी सी हवाधीरे से चलते लम्हेऔर सफ़र क्या है ठंडी खामोशीथोड़ी गरम साँसेना मौक़े की तलाशना कोई मायूसीऔर हासिल क्या है कुछ फ़ुरसतकुछ धूपठंडी घासऔर नंगे पाँवऔर सुकून क्या है

Coffee grows Colder #Haiku

Mind wanders astray Words remain beyond keyboard Coffee grows colder

The Aisle seat
