Oh Time! Don’t Tear Me Again!!Cherry trees blossom
Music flowing into
My silent nights
A flute abandoned
Tune frees the lyric
Song seeks the singer
A violet chrysanthemum
Buds, in a broken pot
Water spills off
The park, cold and
Calm, a feral sun
Shreds my skin
Life on the hop
Seeking certainty
In words kaput…

Hi Venus!
Thank you my dear friend...did i say Cherry Blossoms inspired me..? i was just listening to it ;)
anyway, thank you dear for coming..
btw, you were asking certain other's whereabout also today..i could see..my dear leave others, especially bloggers to their own pretty/petty worlds...let them be what they are, Venus...Not my business, i am just saying...
but, i'll say mine... i am fine....no issues with anyone asking anything, anytime :-)
love,
devika
Powerful emotions come across in this one! You chose a lovely photo great blossoms
I love cherry blossoms and its so nice to be reminded of them at this time of year...
Hey,
that's a lovely bit of poem..really niceborlin
very nice!!
;-))
Your delicate haiku images--each one stands alone, but all form a picture of a sensitive soul "seeking certainty"... time cannot give answers, only questions...
and as the song seeks the singer, your words seek us out, that is the poet's heart that cannot be still...
Hi Nick!
Thank you so much for coming an the kind comment...
kindess is too demanding, at tims...i have got that the maximum from you...
thanks, Nick!

Hi Aman,
Welcome here, and thank you for the comment :-)
"niceborlin" -- what does that mean...even if i take out nice, "borlin" - what does that mean...

Hi Firebird!
My dear bird...i'm afraid YOU too are beginning to read me wrong...
I am seeking certainty in WORDS(though, kaput) written by me or will be written by me :)
Time was the sun shredding my skin...i don't mind, really :)
what skin does a formless form have!?
anyway, thank you for coming my dear bird...
wishes,
devika
Delightful, with a few unexpected twists.
Ahhh sakura - the blossoms come and go - just like time...no?
But words...words are forever - good or bad.
Oh my,
Masago here...
that could be an unexpected twist :)
rest -- my poetry is my life -- twisted or not..anyway, this's about disentangling :)
this was just an experimentation with the forms i saw at places including yours...not sure my grade...
do i need to know --I think i'm done with it...or may be God knows if i write such again...
wishes,
devika
hi Janice...
Thank you Janice for coming and the kind comment...
words are forever -- in a world were God has little place..what validity for a word...
anyway, thank you for the comment...it might help me get a certainty with my words :)
wishes,
devika
hey, firebird...
you said haiku!? -- know really something about it....or kidding with me??
anyway, just realised you mentioned it :)
wishes,
devika
Yes, I used to write some haiku--now I have read that the formal rules do not have to be strictly followed--and your verses fit the form and feeling so well! Perhaps Janice was the inspiration?
As to the "feral sun"--sunscreen, my love, never go out without it!!
(P.S. yes, I changed my picture)
Hi Firebird,
is that the real you? really??
so thick hair :)
haiku -- i have been at many haiku blogs....some places i make a comment, sometimes not...feels a bit 'awkward' life at some :)
and this 'sunscreen' -- you naughty bird...what if i'm allergic to all 'screens'!? :)
love, my bird
devika
Beautiful!
wonderful images..
Thank you..
wishes
take care
mip
lovely! I really like the music, too. need to find out more about it.
Hi Andrew!
nice to have that comment from you and thank you for coming...
Music and Japanese -- Greek and Latin to me...Google should be helpful? :)
wishes,
devika
Hi MIP,
Thank you for coming MAN IN PAINTING...
by the way, how do you reach out to blogs from a painting?? :)
anyway, glad that you liked the piece..
wishes,
devika
Lovely picture and poem. Going to blogroll you.
Hi Jeeves,
Welcome here...and thank you for the comment...
Blogrolling - At YOUR risk, i would say :)
i liked your poetry as well..but, after a thought i have decided against blogrolls..except Bloghounds... (i have no idea if i still remain a member :) anyway, it is there for the moment)
thank you Jeeves again..
wishes,
devika
Now, off to work...
hey devika,
ur poem rocks!! well done!!
title itself catches the imagination!!
vinay(or leo,whichever!!)
ps: blogrollin you, poetess!! and r u a malayali?? name sounds like it so askin!
Devika Ma'am
You should consider publishing your poetry, even if that has to occur sometime from now! I'm telling you it will be quite a hit!
I also loved the images that you chose to describe your verses!
And, the picture at the end.... Lol! Quite a meaning it conveys!
Cheers
Rakesh
Hi Vinay,
i like the name Vinay..I am a Keralite..NOT a Malayalee IN FULL..speaks English and my bit of Hindi :))
thank you for coming Vinay...YOU say you 'rhyme without reason' -- I thought you were doing that for a reason.. You know, they say everything happens for a reason :))
Now -- blogrolling and poetess...
Blogrolling -- at YOUR risk ;)
poetess -- i have my doubts as to what/who a poet is...and the "ess" part -- i have no inclination of being one, even otherwise :)
of course, if GOD wants me to be..IT SHALL BE :)
my dear..you would now begin to lose to poetic sense or sensible poetry...landed at a very wrong place :))
anyway, thanks for coming..
and nice to have your comment too..
wishes,
devika
btw, you a Keralite? where from??
i am from Trivandrum :)
Hey Rak!
where's the smile i asked from you?? do return at Socio-Pol blog. I just broke my silence there :))
What is to occcur shall occur Rak..
if not, me who lived so happily in my world woudn't have been exiled to this webby world!!
NOW I'm in the lookout for the spider, or was it the prey!? :)
Last picture -- YOU know what my father used to describe about me...
after i completed my studies, and "not-ready" for a marriage --
CIVIL-CRIMINAL* -- I was real pain in the neck for him until it got 'shifted' to Suresh! :))
anyway, all for the good ..HOPE so!
NOW, be at Soc-Pol...if not I do not want to see you again...OK!??
wishes,
devika
*Civil for the engg side, and criminal for the law side
Well done, I guess. Finding life in dead words!:)
Hi Borut!
finally..hmmm :)
thank you, my dear teacher...a major part of it goes to you, Borut... :)
and finding life -- guess when it comes to matters of life and death, we understand it so well..:)
thank you again...:)
wishes,
devika
yep, me a keralite...! from kodungallur, but resident bangalorean!! blogrolling at my risk?? cool i like this risk anyways!! :))
and losing my sense of rhyme?? nah, its been with me since 10 years nearly...wont lose it that easily!! :):)
umm...Rhyme Without Reason, is to indicate my unconditional love for poetry!! :))
vinay.
Oh hi Vinay...
That 'sounds' like a MAN!! :) a Leo!!? :))
and from Kerala...i am more than impressed :)
I have been roaming around Kondungalloor and Trichur about 17 years back :) was with Laurie Baker's COSTFORD...rural development...
okay, rhyming...even i feel whats crossed the test of time will stay...:)
"unconditional love for poetry" --sounds interesting..my love for poetry is conditional... only when i feel the need, i go to poetry...sometimes poetry gets into my nerves ...else a morning dose...and one or two during my work breaks :)
nice to know more of you :)
wishes,
devika
vinay.
a nice surprise... i like these, devika. you are a woman (well, you say you don't want to be called a girl, no?) of many talents :)
oh, and romance at 45 - why not?
even if it's fictional ;)
Keralite...sounds like a precious stone--green, perhaps, with golden streaks?
(Just being silly, here...)
Picture is as close to real me as I've been able to get (most pictures of me come out TERRIBLE!)
Would be nice to see a photo of you, don't you think??
Oh Polona...
so nice to have that comment from you..thanks, thank you :)
love at 45...fictional can go till death, i feel. well, i will be... :))
wishes,
devika
Oh my bird...
You are right there..my birth stone is emerald...and gold is our state-ly ornament...and i normally wear a ear-ring of emerald and gold :)
photo-- you say you come out terrible...i could be horrible...we match -- in many ways :))
and my picture -- hmmm..."when the time is right for me?" :)
wishes,
devika
i'm good....you?
Dear Kai..
I am fine Kai..as always :)
so nice of you to come...
love,
devika
Tune frees the lyric
Song seeks the singer
I got struck at these lines and started wondering about that process.Its something very new and different that I read in the recent past.
Keep flowing your thoughts Devi.
hi Maddy,
Thank you for coming and the comment...
what i do not understand is -- why follow something/someone you cannot follow..:)
its hard for me to write what others expect of me...
as regards the lines quoted...i hope you listened to the music and the song behind...
thank you!~
wishes,
devika
And Maddy....
these are very very different from what i wrote all these days..They are the Japanese Haiku forms...and they say it follows very seperate rules of composition and understanding...
some of the masters at whom i have been reading are here..Janice, Polona, Masago, Andrew, Borut...you may read at theirs
mine is only a trial -- a first serious trial...
hope that makes things clear...
wishes,
devika
you'll be missed!
Happy Thanksgving
Hi Kai,
So kind of you to let me know Kai....
may be next year i could join? :)
wishes,
devika
