Flying On The Edges Of Time

Flying on the edges of time

moving through the tunnels of memoirs

a soul traverses the universe

sometimes it is a wounded bird

trying to reach the skies

sometimes it is a fragile butterfly

fluttering in the woods

bound to tides of emotions

like the cord of a kite

it flies and flies .........

A Garden Of Wishes : Gogyohka

A garden of daffodils

stands in my heart

each daffodil

a wish

for you.

As soft breeze flows

it carries

 these wishes
far away

to you.

 Gogyohka : Japanese poetry form, written in five lines, but each line generally represents one phrase.

Yellow Tulips

Yellow tulips all around

last night sun had rained down

a part of sun in earth’s arms,

earth glows under his charm

their love smiles in tulips

like a message of love on lips

with first sunrays on the earth

tulips bloom with happiness and  mirth
