nature is a geisha: haikus on self and freedom
1
lonely, away from the world
one thought to venture further
and walked a narrow path…
2
one meets nature a geisha
who smiles and plays
and awakens one’s senses…
3
nature-geisha’s art
clears one’s thoughts,
and the gathered mind-dust
4
one sees: original self
not defined, not conditioned
but corrupt by one’s world…
5
without self
without conditioning
all agitated forces stilled…
6
we have loved freely
without formalities
without rigidity of spouses
7
one sees freedom;
one sees spontaneity:
how one can love again one’s spouse?

Raj!
One of the comments on yr other blog by rmadhuri, carries a nice haiku on nature and human, ending witha punchline of throwing a coke can!
This and "one comes to this place", both are good compositions - free ramblings of a mind expressed fluently. About the hiakus, the third line is supposed to carry an unexpected punch! There! I have given you food for thought. The seventh one seems to be a bit naughty! Your wife must be very sportive
You sure have opened an un-pandora's box. (I say un- because original Pandora opened a box of miseries! In your case, it's going to be a box full of fun!) We can expect more haikus from our fellow bloggers in Sulekha!
best regards ....... Raja.
