To Write About Someone – ranting

Learning, love, Those People

It’s been a while that I could not write long stories. Haiku has been my choice. It enables me to put my ideas into concise version of long winding contemplation.

Suddenly I want to write a long story about someone. Maybe about someone I’ve thought I know very well but in fact I don’t really. I often misunderstand about that person. About my mother….

But again, I don’t know if I can do it well…. I’m just blank.

Green grass and an ant
Is a dot on a paper sheet.
A real confusion.

Still preparing for a better thought.

Metal in colors – haiku

Learning, life, Poetic

Adorning body:
They see a witch in pink and
Metals in colors.

Suddenly I see a witch with so many jewelries in her body, colorful metals of many kinds and types: not sure if they are gold or silver or copper or others. What I see is a beautiful witch with beautiful and colorful metals.

Oh I can see many gemstones, too….

Symbol – haiku

Learning, Poetic

Is it to disclose
Or to hide what’s unhidden
That’s so called symbol?

There She Is – haiku

Bob, Learning, love, Poetic

There she is. Crouching
Behind a log. She’s waiting
For fresh flesh dinner.

Are we a tiger crouching? Or a deer grazing in the greenery…. Or both but with love?

Flying – haiku

Learning, Poetic

Sky is the limit.
Bird is soaring, zooming down.
To watch his strong branch.

Sometimes the journey is to nowehere but to go back home.

Dandruff – haiku

Learning, love, Poetic

Dark and gloomy sky —
Dried scalp under cold hoody
As dandruff fall off.

Circle – haiku

Learning, love, Poetic

Moving a circle,
Connecting two dots: She is
Making a Zen Art.

 

 

I am the one holding Zen Art T-shirt and Zen Art painting. The smiling lady is the artist – the one making the Zen Art.

Purified Soul – haiku

Learning, love, Poetic

Flesh, blood won’t ascend.
Your sacred, good breath and deed
Are reaching Heaven.

Eid Mubarak!
I’m spraying the earth and all sacrificed beings with love….
Your life is loved & purified, ready to depart to the next cycle….
May you be good beings with good Karma.
Atma namaste….
Salaaam….

Love,
Rike to the Earth & sacrificed Beings.

Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar….
Laa ilaaha illallaaahu Allaahu Akbar….
Allahu Akbar wa lillaahil Hamd.

Fish – haiku ended with a free verse

Learning, love, Poetic

Fish in frozen pond
It is swimming to the sun.
Hopes for hotter air —

Fish, water and sun —
Forming a natural cycle —
Win life together.

Fish, can you feel me
Stir the water to get you
Out of frozen pond.

Fish stare at my eyes.
They beg me to stop and go,
To find other funs.

Fish….
Me….
Life….
Like
Fish….
Water….
Sun….
Can I play with this life the I want?
I know I can.
But like a fish that can’t live in frozen pond – waiting for
The sun to melt it down.

I am a fish in a life full of water under the sun.

A word – haiku

Learning, love, Poetic

Pronouncing good word,
Parrot is nodding its head.
When word is just word.

What does a word mean when it is uttered by a bird, it only repeating what it has heard from environment without knowing what it means. It means…. Meaning is not everything but it is more essential than just the pronounced lining letters.

Life, teach me about what essential when I pronounce a good word as I am not a parrot or any other copiers.

Scorching Month Day #9 – haiku

Learning, Poetic

Brown river flows east,
Bringing rubbish, logs, deads —
Flood of west debris.

Focused – haiku

Bob, Learning, love, Poetic, This Person

She’s bulging her eyes.
A brown dot in a ground street.
Good God! It’s a dog!

===

A story of me and my fellow creature, a beautiful dog

And I don’t know to whom I am asking these questions…. And, I find myself in the middle of a market…. Everyone is shouting, everyone is selling, everyone is focusing on what words they’re saying.

Eveyone is speaking, but no one is listening, everyone is living alone….

When I saw a dog in a steet, a dusty ground street. I asked him where I ought to go…. And, he just looked at me without a word passing by me away….

Every one is living, every one is breathing, every one is busy with oneself….

Every one is walking, but no one was stopping, just to care what life is in the other’s end….

Then I chased the dog passing by me. I said, “Hello, Dog. Where are you going? Can I go with you until the next cross roads”. He nodded his head and smiled….

Then we went ahead together. No cross road ahead we found and we decided to go ahead together until we really had to quit….

Life is about sharing even with a dog. Thank you, God for sending me a dog that has been so focused on walking down the path of life.

To “A Passage to India” —
With its two-branched end.

Coloring Mandala – Haiku

Learning, love, Poetic

I’ve been coloring mandalas in a book entitled Coloring Mandala 4 For Confidence, Energy, and Purpose by Susanne F. Fincher. It’s fun, really fun. And while coloring the mandalas, my imagination is unlimitedly wandering around my cosmic awareness. My fingers become relaxed as much as my mind is….

Swirling pencils

Push me to a colorful valley —

Submerged in joy.

Some of the colored mandalas, please enjoy….
