Haiku – Renewal of Hope!
Unannounced attack
invisible enemy
global pandemic
an uphill battle
animated deeds of grace
unified efforts
buoyant humankind
ushers promise of new dawn
renewal of hope
Eugi’s weekly prompt : Renewal
Tanka – Phantom Walks!
Sorcerer’s voodoo
ghoulish nocturnal fetish
caustic whimpers stab
eerie silhouettes emerge
paranormal encounter.
In response to :What to you see #31
Forever…
Fabric of Love!
On a cold wintry evening
romantic lovers entwine
patches of rapturous emotions.
The twilight breeze brings
with it, a scent of love.
The hearts braid together
an intimate conversation
beneath the layers of scarlet chiffon.
Dreams of passion weave
intricate designs of rhapsodic rhythm.
Threads seam in total surrender
to paint bold strokes of red.
Fervent kisses sew a sensuous hem,
motifs of tender caress lace it,
sealing it with an intense fusion.
Oh! the romantic soul is draped
with an amorous blanket!
Tweaked up an old poem of mine.
The Reward!
Placid demeanor
patient strategic planning
camouflaged motive
predatory skills sharpened
hunger pangs satiated
Abyss!
Her temples throb
the din of vitriolic memories besiege her,
the ominous scars remind her
of a dark hideous past
haunting images circling her mind’s eye
with no signs of exit,
sucking her into a web of
emotional despondency!

Fear
dark feelings engulf
trepidation clouds senses
imprisons present
Fury
inner core ruptures
scorching lava sizzles out
wreaks crimson umbrage
Void
quintessence consumed
drowned in infernal abyss
extinct emotions
Facade
a veneer disguise
contrived emotions displayed
dubious motives
Forlorn
lonesome soul cringes
a foreboding gloom pervades
silent cry echoes

Radhika’s writings reflect her thoughts and ruminations on life. While she mostly writes poetry, her blog Radhika’s Reflection is a potpourri of photographs, prose, and musings. She recently published her first book of haiku and poetry titled Eclectic Verses, which is available on Amazon.

Sun n Sea – A Harmony!
Eastern sky glistens
the dreamy sea slumbers on
indolent waves ebb
golden sunshine smiles
sun-drenched tides unfurl magic
turquoise melange
emits a bright trail
kisses the western skyline
lulls the blue expanse
oceanic tides
weaves an endless saga of
cadenced harmony!
Haiku – Expressions!
Moods and expressions
define the life’s narratives
emotions burst forth
