blazing with anger,
fingers tapping at a screen
send emotion-bits.

These emotion crumbs -
leftovers from pain long gone
will be swept away.
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

will be swept away
by the wave of emotions
into the unknown.

the unknown is a
more familiar place than
clear understanding.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

clear understanding
cannot exist when we don't
understand ourselves

understand ourselves
through quiet introspection
embracing the truth.

Embracing the truth,
no matter how difficult,
enlightens the soul
bas ek rahe mera kaam ishq,
mera kaam ishq,
mera kaam ishq

enlightens the soul
by planting seeds of self-love,
letting it spread joy.

let the joy spread far
and wide, slowly oozing as
buoyant lava does.

bubbly lava drips
from the sky, a product of
the hate we unleash

@whatchamacallit @Hkumar this is kind of random, but I love seeing you guys post here <3

Hkumar, I love how your latest haiku is so positive. You always include meaningful and powerful imagery in your haikus, even when they are simple images. I feel like you could make a haiku with any and every single line given to you. I love reading how you make the lines given to you your own <3

whatcha, your imagery is always so unique, and you bring thought provoking ideas to my mind. "the unknown is a more familiar place" one is probably one of my favourite ones you've written. That's such a neat concept to think about. And "buoyant lava"? I absolutely love that line!

YOU GUYS ARE COOL

the hate we unleash
from the cracks of broken heart,
let it channel out.

no more joy again
it has evaporated
and now it is gone.

now it is all gone;
the sun sinks ominously
below x-axis.

below x-axis,
deep sea darkness thickens black;
eyes open, glowing.
