Limitless, Shail's Sky :)

Shail Mohan's Photograph on her Blog, Shots and Captures. Click on picture to  go to the blog :)

The Sky is an ocean too ...
Dying to be, more ....
Like the seas,
Sometimes blue,
Or is it emrald
A touch of stormy grey?

It has no waves, sadly
And yearns so much ...
And then on wings of wishes
They come;

White, cottony, frothy
Selfsame, those waves...
And lap the edges of that
Nothingness, which remains

Quiescent, waiting.

Gently around the edges
Slowly spreading out...
So that, soon, it shall be
Blue no more ...

Online, after yearning, here too :)
And thank you Shail, for the endless prompts you give this writing challenged rambler :) by way of your wonderful photographs!

Aspire

Shail Mohan's Photograph on her blog

My tendrils twirling tenaciously
Time on my side...
Tiny, yet strong
Fresh and Eager.
I aspire.
Don't you want to?

Online, Inspired  :)

Note: Inspired entirely by this post from Shail Mohan's entrancing photograph. And titled similarly, in supplication of her awesome captioning skills :)

Shail, this one's for you :)

Ships that fly!

Sailing, soaring high

On wings of dreams and laughter - 

(Have you)

Seen a ship this high?

This is a new genre, called 'an almost Haiku' :P! Seeing Shail Mohan's beautiful picture of this, on FB, the write just expressed itself, this way, and no other. Had to invent nomenclature, because of it!

Homeward Bound

Chugging past a distant memory
Of childhood fun and frolic
Playing in puddles, formed of mischief
Hiding under big banana leaves
From prying eyes of grown-ups!

An aeon hence I find that metaphor again
In the splatter of rain on my window
The blurred vision the yellow sign
Beckoning as it used to
Unhesitant in the welcome, in the warmth
That comforts this aching heart.

They said, you can never go home again.
But each raindrop I've met, since I left
Had a different story to tell - no, stories...
Of that time, when rain was life, 
Before Life came along, and rained responsibilities.

All it takes is this rain splattered window
And that blurred yellow sign
My heart, it sings, 
Revels in rain - and I know
I'm home again!

Inspired, entirely by a poem of a picture (as Govind has put it :) ) by Shail Mohan in the way she bent rules while receiving the Inspiring blogger award from Suranga Date :)

Psst... another of Shail's wonderful photographs found a Haiku here... :) Or rather the Haiku came out of the photograph there... :)

Merging - Haiku

Would that I could be

A silhouette on your soul

Friends beyond sunsets!
