Haiku series: Blue

flows out like lifeblood
a languid soul spilling out
a pool of desires

like a lotus bud
eagerly waiting to bloom
tenderly restless

dreams forgotten
lost in a chaos of voices
drowning my own

caught in a deluge
I'm losing sight of the shore
half wishing to drown

rainfall upon leaves
soft footfalls on wet pavements
silence in my soul

... a friend says, blue is the colour of December.
  
  ... "It's blue. Blue is the colour of love." -Disco Pigs

For Pt. Ravi Shankar


dragonflies dancing
sitar notes sparkling like water
soundtrack of our lives

Winter in Delhi

A cold rainy day.
No thunderous drama in the sky
Just pale grey clouds weeping,
Moaning as winter creeps into
My rain soaked soul.
