Soul Revived-a set of haikus

Placid lake stirs now,
Kissed by flirtatious breeze
Ripples of desire.

Silent, lonesome heart
Lying dormant for long, wakes,
A song echoes far.

Dry, weathered leaves fall,
New greens sprout another life,
Life sings merrily.


Time to find reasons new,
Shedding all memories old.
Soul revived once again.

Give Me A Break!

No lush greens.
No white beaches,
Nor shimmering seas.

Orange sunsets,
Or peachy dawns.
No high teas,
In manicured lawns

Mad shopping sprees,
Madder family trees,
Gossip sessions till two
And what have you!

The backwaters,
Or exotic locales.
No steep treks,
Nor forest trails.

Nothing works for me today!
Frayed nerves scream above the din.
Give me a break,
My mind needs a holiday!

Champagne Love

Feeling the bubbles rise up the soul;
Heady,
Intoxicating, to the core,
I let it go in to my head
Madly,
Helplessly, being led.

As the bubbles bead
The brim of my heart,
A strange languor
Throws me off-guard.

Floating over the fluffy clouds
Of my mind;
Uncaring,
Halcyon thoughts pull me away,
Leaving my woes behind.

As the effect starts to fade
I find myself,
Startlingly,
On terra firma again.
