#TankaTuesday – Favorite Fruit

Published on by balroop singh50 Comments

Litchi

Sweet and delicious,
exotic tropical fruit, 
harvested in June.
remove the outer cover,
savor the juicy delight.

She’s the queen of fruits,
rich in antioxidants, 
subtle aroma,
and delectable flavor
what a unique summer charm!

Time Tyranny

When men try to tower over time,
When hands of the clock are held by Satan,

When shadows become larger than life,
When past lessons are shoved into the crevices,

When conflagrations spread unabated,
When human values vanish into the air,

When smoke bellows from the trees,
When sands of power blind the eyes,

When screams satiate the raging brutes,
When war din swallows human voices, 

When thorny winds whisper ancient tales,
When sighs don’t stir the mighty,

When innocent, unarmed people are handcuffed,
When empty words are offered by the Sadists, 

Be it known that the fog of execration will smother them,
Disgrace demons will follow them forever.

Calls of redemption will haunt them till eternity,
But some sins are unpardonable.

Moon Magic

Mesmerized by the
sublime glory of the sky
of today’s moonlight,
the dark crevices of my heart
embraced the magic of hope. 

“We ran as if to meet the moon.” –Robert Frost

He told us about
the first fragrance of seasons,
the soaring spirits,
the lovers who pine alone,
how blissful is solitude!

Fantasy Flight

Riding on the passion of writing
Yearning for the world of fantasy,
Of the land that’s free,
My muse escapes.

And I sit,
Searching for the doors
She slammed shut.

What am I without her?
A slave to her whims?
Holding words –
Meaningless without her magic.
But I know
She’ll return with new ideas.

The path waits, dark and quiet
Invisible memories meander,
Starry nights get darker,
Silent echoes connect us.

Her journey to the moon
Endows her with new wisdom –
Fantasy flights fraught with euphoria,
Lead us into lonely lands.
Human touch is the basic need,
Love and emotions keep us grounded.

In Wilderness

Unknown paths don’t scare me now. A forest feigns a comforting arm, trees tantamount to companions with a difference and hours seem to stand still. Am I drifting into eremitism? Far away from the madness of the world, from the conflicting views of the mighty and the powerful, from the digital devices that are worse than termites, I wander in the wilderness, wondering when I will find a better place.

A little darkness
A little light – both allure
unpredictable.
