#Haiku04 : Shivani


Have you met a gypsy?

I have.

You'll know that moment when you meet one!


You're basking in her good vibes.
That familiar carefree movement - her arms swaying in a rhythmic motion, harmoniously sync with her lanky legs.
Vibrant colors dripping from her clothes paint the canvas of your imagination.
The carefree child-like voice leaves an eternal smile on your face while you watch her animated conversations.

You'll know.

A smile so enchanting!
You crave to fill your ears with her laughter.
Attracted to that beatific glow on her face, you are astonished how beautiful and easy it is to be a happy soul.
Before long, you start longing for her to stay.
And don't you start getting high on your own.
Wait for the gypsy to show you the way! Already! 
For the gypsy opens her arms to let it all within and without.
Cusp your face and gently whispering to your ears:

But you are a free spirit, the one that must sway;
always looking for a chance to do your own;
to be your own person;
to have things done your own way;
Come dream the impossible dream!

She caresses your hair and embraces you with the sweetest goodbyes and fares you well.

You'll know - it would be your longest sigh!

This Haiku is dedicated to my favorite gypsy.

Happy Birthday :)

#Haiku03 : Bob Marley.


"One good thing about music, 
when it hits you, 
you feel no pain."

 ~
Bob Marley


A man born in forgotten Jamaican streets during the troubled war era rises to stir one of the biggest international uprisings along with almost single-handedly gifting the musical world with a beautiful new word called Reggae.

I dedicate this to you!

#Haiku02 : Three Little Birds.


There are moments in your life when your inner calling guides you to connect your music player, set it to shuffle mode, turn on, tune in and drop out!

This haiku comes from two unrelated tracks that my phone decided to play in succession one fine morning. 
A smile decorated the moment when I started humming the lyrics and stared outside at the racing tall green coconut trees.

#Haiku01: Burning Bridges.


Often in our life's eternal journey we come across bridges. 
A dilemma is essential while making the choices that your heart and mind battle out. 
We either walk to the other side in hope to find all that we imagine would quench our desires, or 
light a fire to burn the bridge down.





#Haiku : Inspiron.






Shimmering scintillating screen,

Clouds cover cast shadow.


Light! No illusion.
