A withered soul at the shore of dreams,
It pondered the waves as they gleamed—
Arrays of light, oh, what heaven beams,
Caused by clouds so white they seem
Formed from pearls or angel’s wings.

It prayed for this day to be its last,
For no day shall be worthy as this day will.
A weary spirit lingers where light and shadow meet, yearning for release beneath celestial whispers.

Haiku - I Love You
How can I love you
More and more every day
That is the only way

Haiku – What’s Good
I don’t know what’s good
I only know what I like
Maybe you like it

Haiku – Question
I had an answer
What question did you ask me
Can you tell me now

Haiku – Bring the Light
If the night is dark
Will the sun still bring the light
Where will the stars hide

Haiku – Old Poet
Maybe an old man
Might still learn some old tricks yet
An old poet writes
Haikus 5-7-5. I cheated and used a syllable counter.
We die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.

We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.

Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.

We die every day and every night
A little mum or sharp under the weight
As darkness exists deep in the heart.

Three blind men touched an elephant one day,
Each judged the animal in their own way.
One felt the leg and boldly cried,
“A rough, strong tree trunk, broad and wide!”

Another touched the tusk and cried,
“So smooth and sharp from every side!”
The third held the tail and gave a sigh,
“It’s thin and hairy, like rope swinging by.”

All three were right, yet all were blind,
None saw the whole with an open mind.
They argued loud, in anger and might...
Each defending only their slice of sight.

Isn’t it just like the world today?
Where people fight over what they pray?
Different names, but lessons the same,
Still we battle, Come on it's 2025!!
What a shame!!
I saw this story on a YouTube channel and I thought  of creating a poem on it however I know this story before, my grandma told this in my childhood when I saw this on YouTube I was like hey it's my childhood story and I thought of creating a poem on this I don't remember the channel name if any one knows plz tell me its actually been a month since I saw that video. Well we all know there's a single form of energy who made us all , who all we love there might be different forms beliefs different methods to pray but I know faith and love are same💖

A firefly, me,
Trudged with a burden of light.
A fortuitous break
Came with my sight.

A blue cosmos
Bloomed along the trail—
An ephemeral ocean,
An insect’s sail.

So blue of love,
His innocent ways—
Through filmy eyes,
They melt in waves.

A mini sun
For a patch of blue;
Or so I wished
Would come soon true.

For I followed
A honeybee,
And through her wings
Floats thoughts unseen.

How cruel of me,
To betray my friend—
Through silent speech
And frowns I bend.

To compensate
The guilt I feel,
I'll become the all-seeing eye
Of the light she needs.

After all, she needs it
More than me.
I feed on rot—
She feeds on nectar sweet.

I am but a mini sun
Miles from an ocean blue
I’ll be your flask of light
Bond in emerald hues.

The quicksilver moon’s not secure in her orbit.
I’ve heard that she’s slyly slipping away,
One and a half inches yearly
so a little bit every day.

I, for one, want her to stay.
‘Oh meritorious silver sister, you have no dark side,
and I’ve grown used to your capricious light,
Why do you only hover at night?”

I think of her as my own
though she wears no ring
like that showy trollop Saturn
Our moon has a higher engagement pattern.

She’s a spectacle for moon-inspired dances
and a cupid for nocturnal animalistic romances.
Have you noticed that sometimes she’s dark
and sometimes she’s bright?

What turns her on?
What turns her off?
That’s always the question with ladies,
isn’t it?

In a Dark Place, that
is lonely, and cold,
In a dark place,
just you all alone,
a world of Isolation,
just solitude is shown,
an icy feeling that
chills to the bone,
Looking for peace,
Tranquility, and Serenity,
Looking for a release,
Of nothing but Harmony,
now,
that you see the Light,
of what was once misplaced,
It all started from dwelling,
within a Darkened Place,
You were in a place, that
you didn't want to be,
but,
now you are RELEASED,
and is NOW SET FREE,
So, come to this
ILLUMINATING LIGHT!!, and
let it DWELL ABUNDANTLY!!!
