Haiku Dairies

 

#Lovediaries #poattic-6

Week 1. 

       Sun’s my guardian star.

       Nosegays and roseate bouquets —

       Demeter and troth.

        ****

Week 2. 

       Sun’s sliced by umber,

       Phoebus- semicircles two,

       Buds open to bloom.

       ****

Week 3. 

      Amber streaked Phoebus

      Branches slit into halves two

      Soul’s disquiet yearnings.

      ****

Week 4

     Once sun tempers love, 

     The duirnal course, rise – fall

      Earthy bated breathe.

       ****

Week 5

     The encircled sun,

     A broken betrothal ring,

     Dellusion, deceit.

       ****

Week 6.

     Sun’s shrouded in gloom

     Redolent of coy bouquets,

     Tears sweet and wilted. 

      ****

Week 7.

     In darkness leave me,

     In slumber’s deadly nightshade.

     Strange thoughts brings the sun.

     ****

Week 8.

      Another listless dawn,

      Mock not, Oh Sun! Moon’s my beau,

      Now, I await none.

       ****

Week 9. 

    A glaring sunbeam

    Intrudes a teary-eyed blanket

    Reminiscent of you.

      **** 

Week 10.

     How blinding are Sun’s rays,

     The interfering old fool!

      Hold me, nightly bliss!

      **** 

Week 11.

    An autumnal sun

    Is my bosom chum, I shed

    Despair and distress.

    ****

Week 12.

      Carpe Diem, I invite 

      For tea, the noisy sun, it

       Flaps yesterday away.

      ****

P.S.: Diary writing was an art practiced in the previous century. For the present generation with a  busy and bustling life with a cauldron of bubbling social media, I thought Haiku would be the best way to express the delightful experience of falling in love, the grief that follows heartbreak and return to equilibrium. 

I would really appreciate your feedback and comments.

1.Demeter: a well know perfume

2. Phoebus: the Sun God

    • Thank you Kirti and Anuradha for appreciating this piece. Its polishing has taken a great deal of time.

      In fact I’ve felt the need for a retreat when writing recently, because there was something always interrupting my thought process. And I felt I was in a maze whilst trying to come back to the precise nuance.
