poems and Haikus by Lata Kapila

Critism welcome

 

HAIKU

 

Meters High Waves, Winds

Strike disrupt into minusclues

Huge sheets water awesome

 

HAIKU

 

Books in a pile

Un-sung tales of might valour

No time from strife

 

HAIKU

 

Owls are weary of light

Moles daylight Bats sunshine

Man in blinds to life

 

HAIKU

 

Depth of colours vary

Life exists worms trees man

Consciousness differ

 

HAIKU

 

Examining egg

Abandoned under tree

Feel hundred eyes

 

HAIKU

 

Buds streching to touch

Blue skies clouds above dwarfed

Giraffe his long neck

 

HAIKU

 

I curl up to sleep

Rocks under water cozy

Swaying water soothe

 

 

 

POEMs

 

 

Thoughts

With only you and I

Entangled thoughts

Intertwined bodies

Arm in arm we lie

Why is my heart still so cold

cheeks  wet

 

 

Forlorn

 

She lies in my heart

Morbid quiet for love

She mourns for me

Not realizing she abides in me

 

Birds hasten to nests

To narrate the harrowing experience of men in steel

Trespassing their domain.

 

 

Reality

 

The sea spray still reminds me of the spark in your eyes

The wind through the leaves

imitates your sweet voice

The opening buds are your face in happiness

The twittering birds calling out to my goddness my gladness

My spirit in repose

Come the shaky fingers of dawn

Wake me up – Wake me up

My dreams turning to reality.
