And Now All These!!

NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE

After the day’s rush

to put pieces together

and reclaim sanity


THE WISE MAN

Finds bliss and relief

in philosophy and books

until hunger gnaws


EX-FLAME

Averting eyes ‘til

possible from that visage

lest lost passion awakes


INEXPLAINABLE

Why do we ignore

the present for the future,

search for death, not life?

Haikus again! Some more (brainless?) ruminations. So what say - "dil maange more?"
Rita said…
Good ones gain! I like the second one best :)
Jyotsna said…
few words and so well conveyed.Each one of them like true nuggets of wisdom

I like the last one very much, Shubho. I just thought of this - Haiku would probably be most effective in conveying a truth, as you have in the last one. But perhaps you could do better on the title??
personally i like number four the best.
as for bossy boots braganza . . .the title is fine! (promise me you won't tell her i said that though as she is ferocious at times!)

I liked the last one best..but would like to add..

Why do we ignore the present for the past, hold on to whats lost, not life?

Btw, thank you for blogrolling me! Its an honour!

PS: CJ, do leave darlin' Nicole alone ;)
The last is the one I identify with most we all do it instead of savouring the moment the next will always be better

We likey!

And the last one is so true... we ignore the present, not just for the future, but also for the past. We really need to learn to live in 'today'!

Hmm- I like the last one the best but enjoyed them all!
Nicole Braganza said…
yeah, ok - i get the point. I have no business i hell telling you what you should do with the title. Just expressing personal opinion in an extremely democratic manner. And if I was as creative as you Shubho, I would have given you a suggestion for a title.
Nicole Braganza said…
ps. lets spread the love. i love you guys, really!

aristera says >> thanks :)

Very zen. Or is it buddhist?

Nice Haikus. Interesting that the last one has a five syllable title.
Chimes nicely. And I like the way you've made the present equal life and the future death. Bit bleak though.

I like one and two best. Well, two best of all.

anon >> poetry, i hope

Index Of First Lines

(a cutout) The grey cat stirs upon the ledge, The bay is thick with flecks of white— Swift rays across the falling wall below, The floor before my bed is bright. From crumbling walls white-headed crows take flight. And half out of sleep I watch your sleeping face: Grateful for the resin-scented night. I get up and go out in a solitary daze… Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
